How much of ‘Indie’ is just shoes and hair?

High in the conversational mix this week …

 

 … the return the Stackwaddy game! - do Ben & Jerry’s do a Bohemian Raspberry? Are there really Apple Music genres called Pillow Talk and Countrypolitan?

 

… Errol Flynn and his dachshund water-skiing. 

… James Caan’s opening scene in Misery.

… is Nick Kyrgios the first ‘rap’ tennis star?

 

… why ‘Indie’ doesn’t tolerate non-conformity (or success) – plus Razorlight and other bands who let you down.

 

… bizarre combinations of celebrities we’ve bumped into at the BBC – eg Ronnie Corbett and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

 

.. the vital importance of communal suffering at rock festivals.

 

… and can you get your money’s worth from a £1.5m one-off original Bob Dylan musical ‘artwork’?
