Clever strapline goes here.

Carl Sagan on books

"What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years."

Robert Smith: "Dynamic pricing is a scam that would disappear if every artist said, ‘I don’t want that!’ (...) ‘Oh, we didn’t know,’ they say. They all know. If they say they do not, they’re either fucking stupid or lying"

Here’s Kris Kristofferson talking about a Bob Dylan tribute concert at MSG in 1992 where Sinéad O’Connor was getting booed after ripping up a photo of the Pope on SNL and he was asked to get her off the stage.

He refused.

“Don’t let the bastards get you down.”

RIP to an icon

[Sorcha Ní Nia @Luiseach]

mind when Kris Kristofferson came over, hugged her and told Sinéad O’Connor ‘don’t let the bastards get you down’ when she was being booed on stage, and then wrote this song about her

OMG I had such a crush on Betty Boo back in the day.

[Betty Boo @bettyboomania]

Where Are You Baby? was released this week in 1990! Who remembers dancing to this one? The boots in this video are the original boots from the official video! 👢💃🏼🪩

Katt Williams explained more perfectly why people enjoy golf, than any explanation I've heard before.

This is my daughter Sophie Dennington - I’m so proud of her. She started reffing at 15 years old. She struggled so much in school and at age 13 she had the reading and spelling age of a 7 year old. With the help of her school she managed to pass her GCSE’s. She was diagnosed with Dyslexia but she still got her dream. She’s running the line for the FA Cup Womens Final! A message to all the young ref’s out there. You can do it if you put your mind and heart into something! ❤️

What album would you say profoundly reshaped the way you perceive music?

[Mark Crampton @MarkCrampton1]

I only very recently had the lightbulb moment when it dawned on me that Blur are basically The Kinks.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

The Kinks are the most criminally underrated bands this country has ever produced. Closely followed by Slade.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

RT if you agree.

[Jacques Rogues FBPE @JacquesRogues]

I say this country would be a better place if we had more Angela Rayners and less Rishi Sunacks

retweet if you agree

[Mark Crampton @MarkCrampton1]

@TimesRadio @j_amesmarriott @MattChorley So interesting.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

If your wood burner is so clean and ecologically sound then cover your chimney and let the smoke go into your own home rather than poison your neighbours.

[Mark Crampton @MarkCrampton1]

How do you “win” music?

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

It should have been Blur vs Radiohead and Oasis vs Pulp. Fairer and more evenly matched, and the latter would have won in both cases.
