"Townes Van Zandt is the best damn songwriter in the whole world, and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." (Steve Earle) “I’ve met Bob Dylan’s bodyguards, and if Steve Earle thinks he can stand on Bob Dylan’s coffee table, he’s sadly mistaken." (Townes Van Zandt)

This is brilliant. Politics. Literature. Cosy Crime. Friends (the sitcom). It's got them all. Witty, playful, clever and very entertaining - @jonathancoe.bsky.social at the top of his game.

'He remembered the line from Larkin - 'man hands on misery to man'. That's what he had done - handed on the misery of being a QPR season ticket-holder to his son.' From the first novel in the series featuring DI Garibaldi. Possibly the only cop in crime fiction with a #QPR season ticket

Hung this on the Wish Tree at the Yoko Ono exhibition earlier this year. Seemed to do the trick - what should I try this time round? #qpr
