There are two subtle Bob Dylan references in Paul McCartney‘s “Junior’s Farm.” However, they complete the Wings tune. Here’s what Paul had to say about them.

The first time Paul met Dylan was with The Beatles. He introduced the group to marijuana. In The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, Paul said it blew their “tiny little minds.”
Dylan and his roadie turned up at The Beatles’ hotel room in New York City in the summer of 1964. The singer-songwriter had recently released Another Side of Bob Dylan, and The Beatles were starstruck. They’d admired each other from afar for years.
A little party commenced in the band’s hotel room. Then, Dylan disappeared into the back. The band thought he’d gone to the toilet.

Concert attendees in 1970 must have been checking their Led Zeppelin tickets when they arrived at a concert being performed by the Nobs. The audience had not made a mistake, as it was the same band. However, on Feb. 28, 1970, Led Zeppelin had to change their name to the Nobs for a concert in Copenhagen, Denmark, to avoid a lawsuit.
Led Zeppelin was under threat of being sued Robert Plant and Jimmy Page | Jorgen Angel/Redferns
In early 1970, Led Zeppelin was on a tour of Europe. The band had an upcoming concert scheduled in Copenhagen, but the show hit a snag due to its name. Frau Eva Von Zeppelin, a descendant of Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin, the inventor of the Zeppelin airships, threatened to sue the band over making money off her family name without their permission.
The band had already dealt with Eva in 1969 when they appeared on a Danish television show.

Much of Ealing Studios’ core appeal begins right here, with T.E.B. Clarke’s astute look at the character of pragmatic, energetic Londoners, who in this fantasy face an outrageous situation with spirit, pluck, and a determination not to be cheated. What happens when a few square blocks of London discover that they’re no longer even part of the British Empire? A classic of wartime ‘adjustments,’ the ensemble comedy even begins with a Tex Avery- like ode to rationing.

Titan Books provided the City of Films with a copy of David Hughes’ book “Tales From Development Hell: The Greatest Movies Never Made?”
Once in a great while I will come across a book that I can’t put down and end up finishing it over the course of hours or days, often forgetting to eat or sleep in the process. Luckily for me such a book recently took over my weekend and I’m here to share a review.
I don’t read a lot of fiction, just keeping to reference and guide books for the most part. My favorites of course are about films and filmmaking; Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, and more recently Scorsese by Ebert are great examples. I’m happy to say Tales From Development Hell fits nicely into my criteria to be entertained and educated at the same time.
