Summary

A seasonal egg-hunt in the rock and roll backyard finds the following conversational confectionary …   .. Wild Bill Hickok? Valentino? Bob Dylan’s bizarre new media manoeuvre   … Liza Minnelli, Peter Sellers, Harrison Ford, Aaron Paul: people born to play one part   … how to spot writers using AI   … “dried-up old prune”? Trump’s pot-kettle war against Springsteen   … what BBC DJs must think when they see ‘Woo’ Gary Davies in reception   … “Neil Young looks like an unmade bed”   … when invincible ignorance meets invincible confidence: the stupidest thing we’ve ever done   … do most rock stars eventually get ‘work’ done?   … plus the Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, the Roots, Daisy Age hip-hop and our link with the Hatton Garden heist.
