Rod Stewart's Do Ya Think I'm Sexy on radio. In 1978, the live audience of Rosco's Round Table was asked to choose their favourite record from Rod's, Tommy Gun by The Clash and YMCA. They chose Rod. I've been suspicious about democracy ever since.

"...he recorded his loneliest, most vulnerable album in full knowledge of what was coming. There’s dignity and courage to songwriters who can do this. I think of Warren Zevon, Leonard Cohen. It is their final gift, whether or not we’re ready to receive it."

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Happy 100th Big George! I’ll be celebrating here for the next week but let’s start with one his greatest scores, Strawberry Fields Forever, which we re-recorded by following the Beatles’ original rhythm track so it’s as faithful as possible.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Sir George Martin was born 100 years ago today. He and the Beatles lucked into their glorious partnership and humankind is the lasting recipient. I was privileged to work with George and hoped to mark the centenary by touring a theatre show about his life & work – but I must stay focused on writing.

The boys cook up perfection in tight and contained forms. For instance, we have Sugaree without an extended, meditative run in the latter half and a six-minute Playin’ that somehow contains all the energy and electric excitement of a twenty-minute version.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

Polly is as always quite right. As I said elsewhere this morning, the problem isn't that the government is having fights, it's that it's having fights it doesn't intend to have about things it doesn't understand. Here she suggests some fights it ought to pick.

Fab episode with a quick in-depth look at Peter Jackson's Get Back. It's amazing how many boxes Stephen and Jason tick off after watching it once (or twice?): the madness and nothing-is-planned manner of it all, MLH, Dick James, Billy Preston, the songs & the context.
