@JustinHawkins: not just the last of the great rock stars, but an absolute gentleman who did something incredibly kind for my wife's school yesterday. Thank you, Justin, if you still do Twitter - nobody will ever forget it. instagram.com/reel/DUJOmq3js…

@Scaife51 Just shows how fucking brilliant Oasis are that even their 'b' setlist is all gold.

@MaxiGonzalez_23 Swap out Little By Little and D'You Know What I Mean for Shakermaker and She's Electric. Then it's perfect.

Same setlist as last night, but with the Octopus Garden outro on Whatever. If you could replace just one song, what would it be?

@ChrisHewitt I wouldn't have thought so. Because they didn't strictly deliver "the head, the tail, the whole damn thing". They just turned it into a pulverised mush, that promptly sank, and they actually couldn't have proved they'd killed it at all.

Did Brody and Hooper get the reward money that Quint had negotiated?

@OwenCwords Amazing! How did that happen?!

@richpelley Thanks Rich - I think he does say 'leapfrogging', and I got the sense it means bouncing between different venues/stages where your gear is set up and waiting for you. But, weirdly, I can't find any trace of this concept/term on the web. I think I'll just cut that line!

@HenryYatesWords Maybe he said “leaping from” not “leap frogging?”

Anyone out there in a band? Do you know what it means to 'leapfrog stages'? Someone said it to me in an interview and I'm not entirely sure what they meant!

@richpelley Ah, interesting... the way he said it (Mark Knopfler, by the way, not that I'd dream of namedropping) suggested it was more Dire Straits management maximising their gigging by "leapfrogging three stages" in a day. Nice to hear from you, by the way - have always loved your writing

@HenryYatesWords I’d have thought it meant going from playing small stages, finding success, then suddenly playing big stages (and leapfrogging the middle ones). Does that work in your context?

@ChrisHewitt Yep, agreed, Chris. Enthusiasm for AI is the clearest indicator of a dickhead that I know. If you're excited about all this bollocks, I'll do everything I can to avoid you.

Fuck off with this AI art shit. Fuck off all the way to the moon.

Thrill of a lifetime to interview @brianmaycom for the cover of @Guitarist_Mag - and mad to hear about the early years when Queen were (briefly) penniless losers! Pick up a print copy if you can...

@jaytennant_ What's a good song to study in order to understand the craft of songwriting?

What’s happening, people? 👀 I’ve got a bit of spare time before my lift to The Roxy arrives, so ask me a question and I’ll give you an answer… It may not be the one you want, but I’ll give you one 😅 Ask away…❔ #AskJay

@TaylorMod @Johnny_Marr Pretty cool. But the slide part seems a little too slow, to be a pernickety dickhead about this.

This is absolutely class Enjoy, @Johnny_Marr pure class

@PhilWilliams They were brilliant in Wolverhampton. I was expecting Squire to be sublime (and he was) but the revelation was Liam - can’t believe how great his live singing is at the moment.

@HenryYatesWords I went to their gig in Manchester and loved it…! Top album. Send me a link to the finished piece, I’d love to read it..

This week I passed 150 days of No: Chocolate Sweets Biscuits Cake Ice cream Fizzy Drinks

@PhilWilliams I’m good, thanks. Ticked off two true bucket-list interviews the other day (John Squire & Liam Gallagher) - my inner 90s schoolboy has never been happier. Let me know if you ever need a music pundit!

@HenryYatesWords Thanks Henry. Most kind of you. I hope you’re all good too.

@jesshods Fifth option - ‘It’s the worst thing to happen to humanity this century, with the potential to devastate the job market, stamp out culture, soften our brains, enrich the tech barons and maybe even kill us all in a fiery apocalypse’.

What are your thoughts on #ChatGPT ?

@help_its_louis I was behind Peter Stringfellow in the Covent Garden branch of Tesco. And nobody can take that away from me.

I’ve been stood behind Roy Chubby Brown in the cleethorpes Boots

@JakeRudh Nice Dream. And especially the second verse, when the strings come in. Stunning. Why can’t/won’t Radiohead make music like this anymore?

On this day in 1995, #Radiohead released their second studio album "The Bends" It’s considered by many as one of the most influential albums of the ‘90s. What’s your favorite song from the record?

@Nick_Ruskell Yes, it’ll suddenly be unbearably, oppressively hot and we’ll all be glistening like rotisserie chicken. Britain no longer has a middle setting.

Do you think this shitty wet weather will ever actually end?

@wigsandgowns Yeah, big disappointment. As far as I can see, AI is like someone slipping through the back door of a restaurant, stealing a load of food, mulching it into rancid hamburgers and flogging them outside. I hope future judges have the intelligence to see that.
