I got this 1950s magazine in the late 50s and Elvis quote about before going to Sun Records "I had never sung anything but slow music and ballads up until that point in my life" is what made me say to Sam Phillips that he pushed Presley towards singing blues. So all that stuff in Baz's movie and documentaries about Elvis staring to sing the blues in Tupelo and loving it back then is BS.

Trump’s speech right now highlights how petty, vindictive and intellectually valid he is. It can be summed up in one word, repeated three times, me, me me!

Amazing to hear Trump say Zuckerberg “probably” changed Facebook this week as a response to his threats.

No more fact-checking on Facebook. It is now a Trump newsletter, just like Twitter. Both are owned by Trump lackies. Is what I am saying a fact? Who cares! I can say it anyway! It is!

It's interesting to read that every word his character speaks in his movie was not just vetted by Dylan but spoken aloud by Dylan to the director. Lord knows what he vetoed. Beware of the hype. If i want to see a puppet show I'll go see one. This is a Dylan promo.

here is a new movie about Dylan. I'd rather hear the real Joan Baez talk about her life and music and touch upon the subject of Mr D. https://podcasts.apple.com/.../joan-baez.../id1520160566...

After two years I can finally reveal that the three-part Boyzone series on Sky Arts, which is being advertised for the period over Christmas - I hear it won't be shown until January - originated with tapes of interviews I did with them and Louis since 1994. The first film documentary based on my tapes was The Ghost of Richard Harris in 2022. This is the second and there will be more!

I couldn't help if if Boy George telling me during my one of my first interviews that he always fancied U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr made it as a headline around the world thanks to MTV. It's fun!

It's that time of year again. Talking to Leiber and Stoller was a sheer delight.
