Which Nobel Prize-winner is fond of the words “hellcat” and “wench”? When Dylan describes Elvis Costello’s fans, is he really describing Bobsessives? Who read about a dangerous new drug called LSD in Time magazine, then took it? Does The Pretender really pack his own snacks? Who supported Bonnie Raitt at her ‘75 Vancouver gig?
