Word In Your Ear It’s our fantasy seven-decade Queen’s Jubilee line -up!
… which may or may not feature Noel Coward, Slade, the KLF and the Spice Girls.
Other key items in pursuit of entertainment this week include:-
When did British pop turn female?
The glorious notion that boyfriends who don’t work out are “Near Mrs”.
The best band this decade! (clue: it’s Wet Leg).
The endlessly rewatchable qualities of Moneyball and The Big Short.
Cary Grant: “All men want to be Cary Grant? I want to be Cary Grant!”
The singular magic of the Hot Club of Cowtown.
Who invented the term “rock and roll”?
Who bought a song called Real Ugly Woman from the teenage Leiber & Stoller?
Band members who slept with each other.
Alan Freed being sued by Moondog.
And the certifiable fact that only one person was ever better as a solo artist than in their original band (and we name him).
