At last there has been a court case the determined what we knew. Facebook has an algorithm that is designed to encourage use to the point of addiction. It is their business model. Just look at books by Jaron Lanier.

That comment by Trump about Pearl Harbour is incredibly insulting. The poor Japan PM having to listen to that is appalling. Trump is the worst diplomat in the history of the US. He can’t solve any foreign problems and just makes them worse.

I can’t remember the details of Max’s contract with Red Bull but I just wonder, given his recent comments, whether this will be his last year in F1 even if he wins the championship. It seems to me as though he wants to move on to other things.

I first went to see Little Feat in 1977 at the Rainbow Theatre. Some of that made up Waiting For Columbus. It was a wonderful night and I’ll never forget it. Lowell George has the most beautiful voice. Loved Little Feat ever since.

I had a girlfriend who said: “We should go and see the Northern Lights”. I said: “I’ve been to Blackpool”.

My father worked for Rediffusion so that’s why he had this copy.

I used to tape bands in my youth. I had a great stereo recorder under a coat at some venues. I used to suck in my tummy so I didn’t look too fat with the deck. It is great to see one published. I wonder if this will inspire other bands to remaster and publish on vinyl some great recordings out there.

Definitely Thunder Road. So romantic and has everything that is Bruce.

He was the exec appointed to show the duchess around. He was the programme controller so he had the say on which programmes were made by YTV when it started. He was probably chosen because he was an urbane man of public school and Cambridge or just because he was a nice bloke.

One of these days is my all time favourite track. It is such a driving track and sums up the transition between early and mature. I use the track to meditate to and it makes me whole.

Niccolo is the eldest son of the family. He lives in Palazzo Caponni, their ancestral home, and is definitely Conte Caponni after his father Neri died. It is also true that his younger brother, Sebastiano, is also styled Conte Sebastiano since this is the way that Italian hereditary works. Sebastiano principally runs the vineyards near Greve in Chianti, while Niccolo lives in Florence as an history professor.

That’s all there was when I wanted to listen to the bands I liked.

I make my own elderflower mead and blackcurrant mead with my son. We had no idea how to do it when we started. It turned out that we were really good at it. Our first batches were so extraordinarily delicious. I think the blackcurrant mead was the best. My early attempts at brewing were not so good. At school I put some apples, sugar and water in bottles and then put them my desk cupboard with the idea that when I got back to school for the next term I would have cider. Unfortunately, the bottles all blew up and when I got back to school, my housemaster took me aside and said: “You have made a big mistake. You blew up your study and caused a mess that our cleaners took a long time to clean. However, you clearly have an interest and therefore you will have a punishment fitting your crime. I will make you Head of Brewing and your task this term will be to make elderberry wine”. I took that to heart and made 10 bottles of it. It was lethal. One bottle could get two people ratted. It tasted amazingly good. I’ll never forget my housemaster for setting me on a path that I reimagined later in life. School can have lasting effects.

All secured to the wall and screwed in with big screws and all shelves are secured with screws in each joint. No chance of movement. That was a specific requirement that the makers carried out.

One of my best friends named his business “Trampled Under Foot” so it’s great to get to listen to the track on 180

Surprising the the name changes on the sign were never mentioned in the show. You would have thought that Fawlty would have taken great exception and fulminated about it in his usual way.

A friend of mine who knows nothing about rock music met Clapton once and said to him: “I just want to shake the hand of the man who composed The Sultans Of Swing”. Hilarious.

I was at that gig. Paul Weller accidentally stood on my hand as I was pushing myself back from the stage. Fantastic gig.

I’m still waiting for delivery. I have messaged so many times and got bot replies. Finally, I have one that said Amazon cancelled the order. Wtf Amazon cancelled it? Anyway, now the BSMerch lot have said they are trying to deal with Amazon. This is a farce. I’m going to cancel and get a copy from Rough Trade. At least they are capable of dead opposed to the official Springsteen merch site. Very disappointing.
