  • Résumé

  • In which we pedal the conversational tandem uphill and down dale, like a rabbit through the pea-vine or a turkey through the corn, stopping for moments of reflection which include …

    … “If someone wants to steal your music, it means your music’s worth stealing.”

    … cats, birdsong: spot the ‘silent track’ by Kate Bush.

    … when Gene Hackman smiles, be very afraid.

    … what was written on Walter Matthau’s funeral card.

    … “Home-Taping Is Killing Music!” and other threats that failed to sink the business.

    … double albums: never mind the quality, feel the width.

    … how Exile On Main St became a symbol of peak-Stones grimy decadence.

    … Hunter Davies, Mark Lewisohn, Ian Leslie, Richard DiLello?: the best Beatles book ever written?

    … “is genius worth the collateral damage?”: homelife in Frank Zappa’s house.

    … things we never say on the Word podcast.

    … when rock critics get it wrong.

    Plus birthday guest Nick Foreman flies the flag for Hunter Davies.
