I'm wondering what's next. We've had the Living In A Ghost Town single, we've had GHS remastered and reissued, and now the Steel Wheels Atlantic City set. I also purchased Voodoo Lounge Live In Japan which I love, but that was released in 2019. So, I'm wondering what's coming next ?

While the virus is a terrible thing, it doesn't give people an excuse to behave like Nazis, which is what's happening. I run most days, trekking out for 10 miles as I'm reluctant to return to the gym. However, what I don't like is people yelling at me, from vehicles, while out running "Where's your mask ?". I'm sorry, but I wear the mask when shopping.

Guys, Just want to know is this any good ? I've purchased it from CDJapan and am looking forward to it. Is it a good gig. I know the songs are different in some respect to Voodoo Lounge Uncut, but I love that era of The Stones, i.e Voodoo Lounge / Stripped.

The other song was I Saw The Light, which Johnny recorded specifically for the episode. The I Saw The Light is the Hank Williams tune, not Todd Rungren by the way. There's only one other instance of Cash returning it, and that was on The Survivors album with Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.

Don't forget, guys, she was brilliant in the theatre. Her Medea by Euripides was brilliant. I saw it when I was doing my Classics degree, and she was amazing. She also appeared in a great Dr Who with her daughter, Rachael Stirling, highlighting that talent, in some instances, is genetic. Also, not forgetting a throughly underrated film, from the 1970s, Theatre of Blood with Vincent Pr

They murdered Little Red Rooster on Dead Set. I prefer their country / folk stuff. When it gets to the blues, or blues-based rock, the Dead are lacking.

I'm really looking forward to Wildflower reissued: I'm plumbing for the 5 disc set. It will set me back £140 but I love this album, and its production. It's so much better than Full Moon Fever, and the Rick Rubin influence also worked on the Johnny Cash American Recordings, made at the same time. Rick was significantly on a roll in that time, producing Wandering Spirit in 1993 f

Quoteslewan I always felt it is a bit strange that multi-millionaires play SFM to to more or less wealthy audiences (including me) I think Elton John passed a similar comment to John Lennon and Yoko Ono, pertaining to "Imagine no possessions". At the time, Elton saw Yoko's wardrobe and a myriad of fur coats. He also heard that John and Yoko both invested in cattle in upstate New

I've got a great book by Dylan Jones, the editor of GQ, on Live Aid. I think most of the acts on both sides of the Atlantic were on coke during Live Aid, but at least Bob Dylan instigated Farm Aid by his remarks. Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp were paying attention, thankfully. For what it's worth, Bob at Farm Aid in 1985 was an awful lot better as he had a simpatico backing band

Nobody seems to mention his avant-garde improvisational album, End of The Game; it's a gem. Likewise, there's a preoccupation that he disappeared off the radar after Fleetwood Mac's Then Play On (1969-1970). That's totally untrue; he did some rather wonderful albums from 1979-1983, and then resumed with the Splinter Group in the late 90s. He still made some excellent music.
