Sunday Legend 2016

[slash's hat]

Maybe not quite now....have you seen the weather outside, wouldn't fancy a boat ride.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Doubt you'd find many folk who wouldn't be #TeamAretha, but unless I missed it there's just not much in the way of precedent to indicate it'd ever be likely.  Or at least likely at the moment.

I wish there was another version of that vid with the crowd shots edited out.

Do you reckon Carole King was doing those OTT gesticulations for the entire duration?

Almost certainly. Someone had popped a pill in her wine, reckon she was just coming up as Aretha hit the stage.

All of Elton's UK dates for 2016 have been announced. ELO or Manilow for me.

No?

Said after last year's but will say again watching the new year thing on BBC - really want Bryan Adams to do it. It'd be amazing

I should think that's due to some legal restrictions surrounding the use of the ELO name, and they'd be billed as ELO If it wasn't for that. Good job they're not though otherwise they couldn't play the legend's slot!!!

Jeff owns the ELO name outright. He bought out the only remaining shared-owner (Bev Bevan) more than a decade ago.

In the time they both owned the name there were a few other acts who were licenced to use the ELO name in one way or another, so I'm guessing the prefix of "Jeff Lynn's" is to indicate it's the real deal and not something lesser.

Oh right. That's sort of unconventional. Might have to use this one against the solo-artists 'rule' somewhere down the line.

Aretha has said she may quit touring in the next year or two but that she also wants to get to "London" - I presume she means most of the British Isles which "London" is for a lot of Americans - after she conquers her fear of flying.

Not doubting you or anything, Nal, but do you have a link to where she said that?

Aretha would make my year. Imagine how packed that field would be!

Aretha playing anywhere in the UK this year would be wonderful

Actually, she said the "London" thing in 2014. But we live in hope.

Not cynical, just sensibly cautious! After all, there's a lot of crap spouted on t'interweb
