There are only three Rock National Treasures – and we name them!

Our ‘big air’ manoeuvres on the rock and roll ski jump this week land the following tricks … … why don’t we re-use old protest songs instead of writing new ones? … “a temple of music and gothic lust:” would YOU buy Jim Steinman’s unsellable home? … when Madness played on the Buck House roof … Ptolomaic Terrascope? Aquarium Drunkard? Real and made-up music magazines … “too complicated, not catchy, like a high-minded think-piece”: U2’s Days Of Ash EP … when the Ramones invaded the London library … Rod, Elton, Adele, Noel, Ed … do they cut it as National Treasures? … “the best sport still works with the sound off” … what links Steely Dan to American College Football? … plus the Bishop of Ramsbury, Robyn’s “dream doner” and birthday guest Keith Adsley with a quiz about American college football walk-out music.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.
