Roy Hudd - brilliant! I still miss The News Huddlines - we desperately need political banter - there's a dearth of it now. We went to see him in an excellent play a while back - Hudd and Patricia Rutledge. I'm blowed if I remember what it was called...anyone recall it?

I can still recall his appearance in "One Foot In The Grave", back then I was surprised to see him in the wonderful television comedy series.

Bob Dylan (May 24, 1941) is an American poetic songwriter, singer, painter, writer, and Nobel prize laureate. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when his songs chronicled social unrest. Early songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" became anthems for the Civil Rights Movement and anti-war movement. Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music revival, his six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone", recorded in 1965, enlarged the range of popular music.
