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.”
