What’s the best age to be and when are we at our most stupid?

Given the once-over this week in vigorous pursuit of edification and amusement …

… should a Fawlty Towers sequel be illegal?

… over-refreshed audiences wrecking Jukebox Musicals.

… our hunt for the elusive album sleeve with the long-haired girl/Afghan hound.

… how acts signal their popularity now the charts no longer matter.

… critics who attacked people who attacked back.

… the Beatles and ‘the genius of personality’.

… how the parental credit card fuels the Springsteen ticket price inflation.

… U2 about to play the new Las Vegas venue with an LED screen the size of three football pitches.

… what’s the best age to be?

… when are we in our prime and when are we at our most stupid?

Plus birthday guest Nick Foreman and Danny Baker’s rare album hand-out.
