THE VERY first David Bowie single I Never Dreamed was found in a bread basket by a former bandmate and is set to be auctioned off.
The buyer won’t be buying the song; it’s a representation of what this 15 year-old would become.
It doesn’t matter all that David Jones, as he was, sounds very much like a cat with it’s tail trapped in the door.
BILLY Joel reveals his chum Sir Elton would say to him “Why don’t you put out more albums?” And Joel would reply; “Why don’t you put out less albums?” But tact prevented the American from saying what he really meant; “You’re dragging down your legacy.” Think he knows now, Billy.
NICE
TO HEAR of a women only motorcycle festival takoing near Berlin. “Yoga, music, movies, and no men,” is on offer. And sump oil and head-banging noise and belching blue smoke that fills the lungs with the prospect of a number of cancers. Yes, women should be free to fill their heavy leather boots just like men.
GARY Lineker has declared blocking Brexit to be be more important than football. And it’s wonderful to know the MOTD presenter’s priorities feature outside of the Premiership. But if football isn’t so important, perhaps he’d consider reducing his near £2m BBC salary?
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
