Episode Rock stars we envy, Madonna as a sister-in-law & the British obsession with poshness
Steering the supercar of enquiry round the rock and roll racetrack with the occasional stop for a tyre change. Foot-to-floor moments this week include…
… why are the British so hung up about posh pop stars?
… the 10-second moment of his stage routine that Springsteen must find addictive
… the flaming bra, the flying dress, the human horse: Lady Gaga’s most OTT entrances
.. would YOU want Madonna as a sister-in-law?
… Fleetwood Mac, the Grateful Dead, the Bee Gees: bands the NME said were finished in 1975
… John Paul Jones in Marks and Sparks
… musicians’ houses we’d most like to live in (actually one’s a lifeboat)
… the goth/fantasy allure of Steve Nicks on TikTok
… and the still-haunting times we died onstage “like a louse in a Russian’s beard”.
Plus Noel Coward, Julie Andrews, Jem Finer, birthday guest Phil Turner and Tony Bennett’s favourite meal.
