A candlelit episode boldly addressing the burning issues du jour, among which you\\u2019ll find \\u2026 Is old music killing new music?; actors that should play rock stars (Keeley Hawes IS Kirsty MacColl, Martin Freeman IS Noel Gallagher); legendary Procol Harum roadie and whistle-blower Kelloggs; a riot at a Dutch Stones gig in \'64; fast songs done as ballads; a roll-call of Smash Hits\\u2019 pop nicknames; Magic Alex in a strip club in High Wycombe (cue the old gag \\u201cmy mother doesn\\u2019t know I\\u2019m in advertising, I told her I play piano in a brothel\\u201d); selling your children to see the Who; roadies who should be immortalised on film; and our advice to the BBC re the licence fee farrago.
