Adding to the Park’s repertoire of genuine rock memorabilia, band members also presented Hard Rock Park with their last Mellotron, a precursor to the modern synthesizer, which came to define the “Moody Blues sound.” “The original recording was a two track master.

Wait a minute. That sentence does not compute. The words “Tom Stoppard” and “sentimental” in intimate proximity? Mr. Stoppard is the intellectual magician who turns academic pursuits like philology, etymology and ontology into quicksilver theater. People don’t cry at his plays; they ponder.

We have an arrangement with ourselves not to disturb the appearances. We aim for inertia. We mass-produce banality. We’ve had no history since ‘68, only pseudo-history.” Having left his native [...]
The newspaper said doctors had warned her that a world tour could seriously harm her health and quoted Minogue as saying: The tour is not going to happen, it is far too soon. I can’t do it next year. It kind of breaks my heart because that is what I’m in this business for. [...]
