MANCHESTER BOOKED UP
In her memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, Jeanette Winterson locates the city of her birth with a laser-guided accuracy: “Manchester is in the south of the north of England,” she writes. “Its spirit has a contrariness … at once untamed and unmetropolitan; yet at the same time, connected and worldly.”
Manchester´s Biggest Ever Awards Ceremony:

HELLO DOLLY: THE ROCKSTAR.
For the project, Dolly Parton enlisted a number of the world’s most celebrated rock stars to perform new versions of their greatest hits. The result is a staggering tracklist that looks like it just stepped off the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Parton shines alongside Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the last two surviving members of The Beatles, on a nostalgic rendition of their hit “Let It Be” that also features Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood. Her voice is a perfect match for The Police’s “Every Breath You Take,” with backing vocals provided by the band’s frontman and bassist, Sting, and meshes beautifully with Elton John on his soaring ballad “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me.”

NOT HIS BEST, BUT STILL LIT BY GEMS
This box set purportedly aims to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Dylan’s first shows in Japan and, yet, those shows took place in late February and early March, making its release date more in step with holiday shopping than historical accuracy. Bob Dylan is, at this point, an institution, and this box set, more than anything, continues to drive that point home.
