Who hasn’t had ‘work done’, how to spot AI and the stupidest thing we ever did
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

A seasonal egg-hunt in the rock and roll backyard finds the following conversational confectionary …

 

.. Wild Bill Hickok? Valentino? Bob Dylan’s bizarre new media manoeuvre

 

… Liza Minnelli, Peter Sellers, Harrison Ford, Aaron Paul: people born to play one part

 

… how to spot writers using AI

 

… “dried-up old prune”? Trump’s pot-kettle war against Springsteen

 

… what BBC DJs must think when they see ‘Woo’ Gary Davies in reception

 

… “Neil Young looks like an unmade bed”

 

… when invincible ignorance meets invincible confidence: the stupidest thing we’ve ever done

 

… do most rock stars eventually get ‘work’ done?

 

… plus the Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, the Roots, Daisy Age hip-hop and our link with the Hatton Garden heist.
