Bob Dylan has revealed that he is a fan of Coronation Street. In a rare interview, the legendary singer-songwriter said the ITV soap makes him feel “at home”, adding that he finds it preferable to “disgusting” modern streaming shows. “I recently binged Coronation Street, Father Brown, and some early Twilight Zones,” he told the Wall Street Journal. “I know they’re old-fashioned, but they make me feel at home. I’m no fan of packaged programmes or news shows. I never watch anything foul-smelling or evil. Nothing disgusting, nothing dog ass.”

Trump aide follows him with a printer
Donald Trump has an aide with a laptop and printer following him around the golf course showing him uplifting news articles, according to the Washington Post. The former president plays at least 18 holes of golf most days and is followed on the course in a buggy by a former cable TV host. She has a laptop, and sometimes a printer, to print off flattering or positive online stories so he can read them on paper, claimed the report.
