I don't like Clegg, so i avoided the show. But looking at the music list I am impressed he picked "Sunday Morning Comming Down" by Johnny Cash. I think that is one of Cash's best tracks, much better than the more fashionable "Hurt".
I do sometimes wonder what calculations go into choosing of discs by celebs & poloticians on the show
In Howard Jacobsons' brill new novel the Finkler question, one of the charechters is asked to appear on Desert Islad discs & canvasses peoples ideas on what music he should pick as he doesn't really listen to music. A very amusing episode |
