Can't manage 10 of this standard. Prince supplied Chaka Khan and Mavis Staples. Apart from that I think Sleeper were the only support band on offer during the nineties.

In my deep subconscious the default Prime Minister is still Mrs Thatcher, the default monarch is Elizabeth II, the default Pope is John Paul II, the default Archbishop of Canterbury is Robert Runcie and the default Cardinal is Basil Hume; a never-ending 1988 of the soul www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Is it harder than ever to be prime minister?
Discontent with the political class is greater than ever - has the UK become ungovernable?

An absolute classic. I watched it for the first time earlier this year. And immediately watched it again. Some incredible location shooting. Just bear with it for the first 15 minutes or so...

In Tune In I quoted a 1960 Paul McCartney letter declaring that the Beatals (yes) had ‘competence, confidence & continuity’ … and just today I’ve found that Paul nicked it from a Midland Bank cheque book, Competence–Continuity–Confidence being printed on the inside back cover. Great nicking, Paul!

xAI has disabled Grok, deleted a slew of its antisemitic and neo-Nazi posts, posted a statement, and are evidently rolling back the prompt that made it identify as "MechaHitler," but this new low for Elon Musk's chatbot will live in internet infamy:

We need better language about AI. We can’t use the same term for the process that detects cancer as the process that make your photo look like a Ghibli. If we restrict the program that’s designed to specifically steal IP it doesn’t mean all the other applications cease to exist.

Stevie Wonder and Prince did and Stevie’s run probably surpasses it 1971 - 80. Prince 80-88. But it is between those 3 imo.

7 awards out of 15 that could be won by British artists went to artists from private schools. That's nearly half. As compared to 7% of the population who actually go to private schools. 'Broad'? (Oh and one of Ezra Collective went to Eton.) Sam Fender, who you mention, has spoken out on this issue.
