‘Life is about creating yourself’: on Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine

Ten years before he became Bob Dylan, 10-year-old Bobby Zimmerman had his first mystical experience. Wandering through the house his father had bought in Hibbing, Minnesota, he discovered a guitar in one room, and then “a great big mahogany radio” with “a 78 turntable when you opened up the top” in another. Sitting on the platter was a country record called Drifting Too Far from Shore. The record with a prophetic title “made me feel like I was...

A con man, philanderer and grifter himself, the ex-president always...

This Is Spinal Tap at 40: the note-perfect rock satire still goes up to 11

The bands that come together organically, without the aid of want ads or tear-off flyers stapled to telephone poles, are generally catalyzed by a mixture of chemistry, inspiration and boredom. A few guys – more often than not, it’s still guys – hang out, realize they get along, bond through their overlapping tastes, and then grow fidgety to do something about it. Screwing around becomes noodling, noodling becomes jamming, jamming becomes...

I’m only seeing bands I loved when I was 14. Am I in a musical rut – or is this growing up?

I was standing in a field with my friends drinking from a flask as Interpol played, and it wasn’t 2006. A man in front of us in a red Fred Perry zip-up top – I was pretty sure I’d seen it on The OC once – was dancing as if someone had put scalding hot porridge under his bare feet, but that he kind of liked it. “This was my wedding song!” he shouted to my friend, as Bloc Party started. “Oh wow!” she said politely. He pointed enthusiastically...

TV tonight: Liz Carr’s unmissable documentary about assisted dying

Better Off Dead? 9pm, BBC One “Gosh, if I was like you, I couldn’t go on, I’d rather be dead.” It’s a comment that actor and disability rights activist Liz Carr, who was born with arthrogryposis, has heard from people – including strangers – all her life.
