Posted by admin | Filed under mixtape
The other day I read a post over on For Folks Sake which vaguely mentioned Loudon Wainwright namechecking Bob Dylan in “My Biggest Fan”, then on random shuffle this morning Snow Patrol’s “Hand’s Open” came on my generic MP3 playing device and got me wondering to just how many songs dropped name’s of heroes and [...]
