David Hepworth, Mark Ellen and chums cast an occasionally jaundiced eye over the goings-on in the worlds of music and entertainment.

Days with Bowie, Prince, the Stones, Hendrix & the Clash by David Sinclair
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

David Sinclair was a long-running rock critic for the Times, Rolling Stone and many others and now makes records himself. He looks back here at some of the first bands he saw and the extraordinary people he interviewed, which touches on …

 

… the day Bowie took him to the Hammersmith Odeon to stand on the spot where he announced his retirement

 

… Keith Richards’ dark side (and what he said about Lady Di)

 

… interviewing Prince “who seemed like a shadow”

 

… seeing Free in 1970: “I still think about it. Some bands are like footprints in fresh snow”

 

… Hendrix on a bill with Cat Stevens and the Walker Brothers when he was 14

 

… singles he wore out in the days when you had to change the needle

 

… his theory about the lyrics of Crossroads

 

… “the Simon Templar of rock journalism”

 

… the purgatory of being a serious musician when Spotify adds 100,000 new tracks a day

 

… and the Shadows, the Scorpions, Sting, ZZ Top, David Coverdale and … Millstone Grit.
