Tasteless though it may be, every time I see the guy at the centre of the Anne Widdecombe accusations he looks to me like Walter Becker from Steely Dan.

In the early 90s video was the new big thing and football used to just put out things like 50 Great Goals or 10 Great Matches! I said on air that fans wanted the opposite of this and thus a brand was born.

In 1973 Marc Bolan used to come into the record shop I worked in. One day and I asked him to sign his latest single for me. I only had a red pen. Playfully, he signed on the red part of the sleeve. But it's there. Says, "Hello Danny. Be Good..."

I knew Esther Rantzen pretty well. Always good gossipy company, smart as a whip, could rock a high end fragrance too. Told me she wrote lyrics to Belle Of The Ball at university - at the time it was my radio shows theme tune. Sang it for us on the air. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FRI...

BBC Football reporting "Mbeumo Scores 5th Against Sorry Ipswich" On match days there is no worse word than "sorry" to see before your teams name at final whistle. And I speak as someone whose team were surprisingly "sorry" just yesterday.

My God, Tim Curry. When I saw Rocky Horror stage show in the King's Road in the early 70s, he was up there with Bowie & Ferry for me. I actually have a Tim Curry related scar. I will tell it's tale on the Treehouse tomorrow. patreon.com/dannybaker

In 1973, on the advice of my mate Tom, I went to see a band at the Marquee in London. It remains the greatest gig I have ever seen in my life. On their way up the AWB were phenomenal, breathtaking. We just have the studio recordings now, but OH!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTQA...

Anyone remember the great Eclipse ceremonies from the late 70s? Whenever it occurred, Bowie had to walk in front of Bolan, Bryan Ferry shaded Eno, Lionel Richie blanked the Commodores and most controversially, McCartney showed Lennon his arse. Different times.

I'm all for Eclipses. Dark Side Of The Moon has no big finish without one. But that was a bit underwhelming. Like when you are on a sun bed abroad and when a tiny cloud momentarily floats over, say, "Oh the suns gone in..."

Ten years ago an old bore, whenever a celebrity version of a show was announced, would say "Never heard of any of them!" It is a fairly legitimate claim now. TV has defenestrated itself of favourites. Warhol breve magnum.

My son was out in Soho today and saw a copy of the punk fanzine I was involved in 1977. £100! We put ourselves on the cover after CBS withdrew permission to feature Clash. See also me and Mark on TV at the time with not much idea what we were doing...but neither did anyone!

Went for the second time to the excellent Bowie: You're Not Alone show at the Lightbox, Kings Cross. On the way out is a display of all his albums. OK, I kind of get why the first one is sort of sidelined, but how odd one crucial release is missing altogether:

We are at that stage of the closed season where I read on Twitter things like: "Aston Villa have paid 22.5 million for Croation striker Tonči Glavina from Finnish Champions Veikkausliiga" And I go: What? Who? FYI: I just made that imagined transfer up...I think.
