Mick Rock took this amazing photo in 1972.

Apparently, it was the original choice for the cover of Mott the Hoople’s ‘All the Young Dudes’ album, produced by David Bowie.

‘ if you ever wonder why so much 21st-century music seems to have so little to say about the troubling state of the world, its greedy economics are surely part of the explanation..’

The best gig I ever saw cost £4. Spiralling concert prices are a cultural disaster | John Harris

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage.
Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

Bought this book yesterday and I am regretting it already.

Desperate Pat - this happened in my area, just up the road from me. What does it say about communities when a child can just disappear & nobody asks any questions or worse still, even notices?
