Fancy going for a spin with us? \u2018Cos we\u2019re about to head off in this ole, beat up Cadillac. Laura Barton is at the wheel and she\u2019s got the windows down and the radio up. Jon\u2019s nodding seriously to the majestic growl of Johnny Cash and Tommy\u2019s got his head out the window, forcing air up his nose like a blood hound. And we\u2019re here and we\u2019re alive and just shooting the breeze about sad songs, rock stars, lost love, writing, Betjeman, Springsteen, journalism, and turnips\u2026 for some reason. Yeah. I\u2019m not entirely sure why, but turnips seem to\u2026 crop up, so\u2026\xa0
