The Stone age is set to outlast streaming

There was a time when the Rolling Stones were denounced as a threat to civilisation. These days, they’re more likely to outlive it (The Rolling Stones: Foreign Tongues review – stomping blues and anti-Musk politics make this another late triumph, 4 July). Their output has now spanned vinyl, cassette, CD, streaming and whatever comes next when Spotify is eventually superseded. The only safe prediction is that the format will change before the band does.

• I particularly enjoyed the corrections and clarifications column on Friday, which referred to errors in the previous weekend’s crossword. But I think they are eclipsed by the quiz in our local free paper, which gave the answer to the question “Whom did Flora MacDonald rescue?” as “Bonnie Prince Charming”. At least their grammar cannot be faulted.
