Can bands still “sell out”? - plus 50 years of Exile On Main Street and RIP the iPod

Entertainments, thrills and diversions at the end of the rock and roll seaside pier this week include … Things we want to see in a Bob Dylan museum. Why the upcoming Spinal Tap sequel fills us with excitement and dread in equal measure. The pub in Cornwall that Vogue magazine tried to sue.  Is ‘Exile’ the best Stones album or just their most fashionable? And a new book about Nellcôte – “urchins living in wealth and splendour”.   The brief return of the Stackwaddy game - Springsteen or Taylor Swift lyric? YOU be the judge!  The fizzing cacophony of the Smash Hits office. Why do most TV series (apart from Breaking Bad) start well and fizzle out? A trailer for ‘The Curious Chronicles of Villa Nellcôte’ by Geir Hornes here …http://www.nellcotechronicles.com--------- Grab your EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal by going to nordvpn.com/yourear to get up a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 1 additional month for free + a bonus gift!
