Hipgnosis album art, the hardest working man in showbiz & the moment the world went mad

We check this week’s luggage on the rock and roll baggage carousel and remove the following items for inspection … … The People v OJ Simpson and why it’s worth re-watching. … the only two convincing films about magazines and journalism. … bands that look like mini-cab drivers. … David’s upcoming appearance on University Challenge (cue the voice of Roger Tilling: “Middlesex Hepworth!”) ... the source of the phrase “Bring on the empty horses!” … why someone called Riley asked John McVie and Nick Mason for his life back. … who was more prolific, Michael Curtiz, Barbara Cartland or Mozart? … the eternal destination of all Peter Pan royalties. … the man who saved Po Powell from a spell in the cooler. … “Morning, Gentlemen. Nice day for murder!” … writing bands’ names on school bags. … ‘I need a sheep, a psychiatrist’s couch, a vet and a ticket to Hawaii!’ ... the old Word magazine gang and what they’re doing now. Mentioned in despatches – the Atom Heart Mother cow, a duff Barry Gibb movie, the Mark Leeman Five and Balaam And the Angel.
