The two-man pedalo of enquiry sets out on the Bank Holiday boating lake of news pausing to consider …  

 

… Florence Welch, Dua Lipa and the rise of the rock and roll book club.

 

… the 92 year-old that Bob Dylan supported at the Cascades Amphitheatre, Ridgefield.

 

… the Beatles had 18 drummers!

 

… the sad end to Billy Joel’s tour schedule.

 

… is Hollywood dead?

 

… what’s your relationship with reading if your first experience of literature is dressing up as a wizard on World Book Day?

 

… why is there something unfailingly comic about drummers being fired?

 

… “No nudity! No voluminous outfits!”: Cannes new red carpet ruling.

 

… is Chimes Of Freedom Bob Dylan at ‘peak wordage’?

 

… are books and record sleeves the new antiques, items to furnish a room?

 

… Sherlock Holmes, Hunter S Thompson: Corey Hart of Slipknot’s recommended reading.

 

… and how Springsteen is taunting Trump.

 

Plus Starry Eyed And Laughing, old drummer gags and who the hell’s seen Ne Zha 2 or Mickey 17?
