Episode How Dylan and Leonard Cohen punctured the Summer Of Love plus the birth of blockbuster album
Among the walnut shells, wrapping paper, dried tangerine peel and broken toys beneath the Christmas Tree Of News we found a few unopened presents, among them …
… Marine Homicide Unit solving murders in Scottish waters or former rock star dumping toxic waste? A crime drama Stackwaddy special.
… Roy Bittan, Duke Ellington: how musical “professors” date back to ragtime.
…’Suzanne’ and the other three songs Leonard Cohen gave away.
… Mary Martin, unsung connector and catalyst of folk-rock.
… how the spare, monochrome simplicity of John Wesley Harding flew against the prevailing wind of Disraeli Gears, Forever Changes and Magical Mystery Tour.
… “I’d rather be dead than wet my bed”.
… the invention of the “blockbuster album”.
… she’s only human: what Judy Collins thought when she met Leonard Cohen.
… Crowded House, John Fogerty, Ry Cooder, Ian Broudie, Patti Smith … when did having your kids in your band become almost compulsory?
… producer Richard Perry’s journey from Beefheart to the “surrealistic vaudeville” of Tiny Tim to the pure genius of ‘You’re So Vain’.
Plus a rare moment - something David Hepworth doesn’t know! - and birthday guest Sandra Austin.
