Bob Dylan at 80
Celebrating 80 years of Bob Dylan’s life ahead of the icon’s birthday on 24 May, we bring it all back home to the beginning, revisiting how he was discovered in the smoky clubs of Greenwich Village. And since everyone’s probably familiar with Like A Rolling Stone, we present the 80 best Dylan songs that typically don’t appear on ‘best of’ collections. As a special treat, here’s a Spotify playlist of them all!
Billie Piper
Why are we running a Letter To My Younger Self with Billie Piper? Because we want to! The accidental teen pop sensation has evolved into one of our best actors. Ahead of her directorial debut Rare Beasts, she tells us that she did a lot of living before her dream career came knocking.
