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

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

By Mark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

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.
