1974 Philadelphia shows to be recorded for “David Live” Herbie Flowers protested, saying the band wouldn’t play without an increase fee in line with recording rates. With album sales, they calculated they were entitled $5000 each. He won the argument. Happy Birthday Herbie 🥃🎸

The legend Jimmy Greaves back in 1981 and how he felt not being selected for the 1966 World Cup Final. RIP Greavsie

Nothing prepares you for the solo at the end.

Memorial Device Simon Price﮷ Some reverse class elitism going on, as if growing up in a decent council house makes them less ‘4 Real’ than others. The people decide the “people’s band”, not musicians or journalists. I’m not a big fan, but people care about the reunion cause people care about them. That’s it

We're delighted that the UK's independent news regulator IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation) has upheld a complaint we made over a misleading claim about migration data in a 2023 Daily Express comment article written by then-Conservative Party chairman Richard Holden MP. buff.ly/4ecFmGn

A very happy 87th birthday to prolific cartoonist, Sergio Aragones, of Sant Mateu, Spain! He's contributed those tiny marginals and other cartoons to almost every issue of MAD since 1963(!) and created "Groo The Wanderer." In person, a warm, gregarious mensch. Long may he wave.

RIP DEREK BOSHIER It is with much sadness that we learn of the passing of artist and friend of David Bowie, Derek Boshier. Bowie fans will know him best for his artwork contributions to both Lodger and Let’s Dance. The sad news was posted on his Instagram page earlier today.

Had the pleasure of interviewing Derek Boshier for our forthcoming film on Pauline Boty, a fascinating artist and one of the good souls.. Travel on well maestro.. RIP

The Mike Sammes Singers were the very lightest of easy listening back in the 60s. Then one day they got a call to a very unusual session indeed. They rose to the demands impeccably. youtube.com/watch?v=_7n6kB…

Value of declared donations, gifts and other earnings of politicians. In 2019 Parliament : Boris Johnson £6.4m. Theresa May £3.5m. Liz Truss £1.1m. Keir Starmer £899k. Rishi Sunak £658k. Guess which one the Right Wing Media suddenly focus on ?

This guy gave the Tories around £15m. And got back over £400m in NHS contracts. What would you call that? And what effect does that have on the NHS?

The way the maj of the British press is out there to destroy the new Labour government is quite breathtaking. This needs to end - in the interest of the whole country.

That'll be because Elon Musk has a simplistic 13 year-old's completely wrong-headed understanding of the cherished principle of free speech, which is why he is supporting fact-free zone Agent Orange as President
