The genius of Sly Dunbar & Catherine O’Hara plus Springsteen’s anthem and old New York

A bone-shaking ride on the weekly news cycle, stopping off here to pump up the tyres …. … Springsteen’s Streets Of Minneapolis: it’s not what he said but the fact that he’s said it   … “they’re all just Sly & Robbie records but with someone different singing on them” … the price of stadium tickets: if it’s too high, don’t go – but stop complaining! … Catherine O’Hara’s wit and humanity in Waiting For Guffman and A Mighty Wind, and why Home Alone wouldn’t work without her … Melania’s deal with Amazon: the most craven act in the history of entertainment? … is Mick Jones the first cousin of a Tory Home Secretary? … the secret art of “four-walling” … are most fans conservative with a small ‘c’? … the romance of knackered old ‘70s New York: “the cheap pleasures have gone” … and the whitest rap of all time! Plus birthday guest Roger Millington and the agony of a band’s “new direction”.Help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourearHelp us to keep The Longest Continuous Conversation In Rock'n'Roll going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
