As one of the world’s greatest musicians, Bob Dylan has enriched the American song tradition for over 50 years. With a talent that has been proven in the worlds of music, radio, art and poetry, Dylan is a man of many personas. From defying pop music conventions with protest songs such as 'The Times They Are a-Changin’ to releasing three of the most influential rock albums of the '60s, he not only has extended the parameters of music genres but has also showed us the fluidity his craft.

To write about Tony Wilson, a.k.a. Anthony H. Wilson, is to write about a number of public and private characters and personalities, a clique of unreliable narrators, constantly changing shape and form.

Respected arts commentator Paul Morley, one of the team who curated the highly successful retrospective exhibition for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, David Bowie Is..., constructs the definitive story of Bowie that explores how he worked, played, aged, structured his ideas, invented the future, and entered history as someone who could and would never be forgotten.

Paul explores the origins of the 12-inch single as a potentially higher-quality format than the 7-inch single and visits Abbey Road studios to watch an engineer cutting a 12-inch single.

Most of us think of love as a feeling. But it isn't. And always speaking of love, it is not still the romantic aspect that counts; sometimes, it is necessary to focus on something else. It is especially so if we want to know what love is, improving our life and growing as human beings. The whole concept of love in the modern world has been shaped in such a way that its true meaning has been distorted.
