Big Black Smoke

". . . which I actually wrote for my daughter's punk band, and they turned it down"

Everyone's banging on about Bob Dylan at the moment, 'cos of the Scorcese documentary the other night but the best songwriter of the sixties, bar none, is interviewed in today's Guardian on the subject of his new album, moving back to London and dealing with ungrateful children.

If we have to put Dylan aside, then RD definitely takes the top slot for his narratives.

Even much later stuff like "Come Dancing" has a poignant humour that I love. And whisper it, but I nearly wore my soundtrack tape of Absolute Beginners for his track "Quiet Life"...
