Unbelievable!

Couple of letters from the trainspotting desk of our Department of Silly Little Things.

Deep Purple got a mention on BBC Radio 4 show The Unbelievable Truth. The premise of the show is guest comedians trying to smuggle truths past their opponents. The opponents have to spot the truth among the lies. In series 31 episode 4 the ruse presented was that Deep Purple were sued for the riff of Smoke (which, as we all know, has a grain of plausibility in it). The episode in question was aired on May 5, 2025, and is available for replay for 28 days after that.

Meanwhile, earlier this month in Nashville, Tennessee, Metallica was having fun (it lasts only for a few bars):

Thanks to Mad Hatter and Gary Poronovich for the heads-up.

    I have seen local cover bands do it with more feel and finesse.

    True, but then again, anything Hetfield & Co get their hands on sounds like Hetfield & Co – immediately and forever. I still haven’t made up my mind whether that is brilliant or just dumb one-trick-pony’sh. 😁
