| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Geoff, remember, Sinatra didn't write any of the songs he sang. Kinda hard to give him an award for literature, no? | |
| Chuck Berry will be 90 next week. Oops, forgot Little Richard is also still above ground. The movie Keith Richards did on Chuck (Hail, Hail Rock 'n' Roll) is a must see. To hear Chuck's style perfected (he can be credited with creating it, but is not it's best practitioner!), give... | |
