“Nothing quite like the calm, reassuring presence of George Dixon in Dixon of Dock Green. A reminder that sometimes, the best crime-solving isn’t about action or drama—it’s about listening, understanding, and doing what’s right. Classic British telly at its finest. #DixonOfDockGreen #ClassicTV”

Meat Loaf’s 1983 album saw him without Jim Steinman, leading to a rawer, less grandiose sound. The label refused to fund Steinman’s songs (which later went to Bonnie Tyler & Air Supply). A mixed bag, but tracks like the title song & Razor’s Edge still rock! #MeatLoaf #Rock

Time waits for no one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time, it waits for nobody
