I took my youngest daughter to see Bohemian Rhaosody on its opening weekend. Personally I thought they tried too hard for authenticity to get the "feel" while at the same time they took a few artistic liberties with timeline and the Mike Myers character as an example. My daughter (14) loved the movie: she was in tears by the end. You can't please all of the people all of the time

Quoteab I saw a Stones show with an intermission, the bomb scare show at Charlottesville in 2005. The break broke the momentum of the show, and caused the chopping of Keith's set. I was at that show too. The break totally took the wind out of the band and the audience. I've seen shows by acts as varied as Bruce Springsteen and Rush with breaks/intermissions. It always feels like it t

Like many others, Roy's book was the first in my (now extensive) Stones library. Back in the '70s Roy was the voice of reason in the NME. It's very sad to hear of his death. A great writer, who cared about the music and the people he wrote about.

The Beacon in Hopewell is a beautiful little venue, it has been brought back to life by a dedicated group of citizens who managed to bring the City council onboard to resuscitate a once derelict theatre. I saw Robert Cray there a couple of years ago, well worth a visit.

I saw Ian and the Blockheads a couple of times in the late '70s. Great band, a guaranteed good night out. Ian's unique perspective on life resulted in some wonderful songs. Must admit I had no idea the band were still playing. I knew Norman was playing in Wilko Johnson's band but I didn't realize his steady gig with the Blockheads was ongoing.

I made my own ringtones and use them on my iphone. It's been a while since I did it but it wasn't that difficult. The only complication was renaming the files with an .m4r file extension instead of .m4a As far as I know on android devices you can use an mp3 file as a ringtone.

In the UK back in the 1960s and 1970s, music was so important to our lives that we had several weekly papers devoted solely to it: NME, Sounds, Record Mirror, Melody Maker and Disc. They were necessary because the BBC ignored the muic we loved, both on radio and TV. The music papers were how we found out about bands, tours and new records and so much more that mattered to us.
