Following on from my previous post about Bob Dylan and Tableau , I wanted to go back and revisit the datasource to see what else could be done with it and how else I could approach visualising the data.

One evening I was listening to the radio when he came over and his first words were ‘What’s that on the radio?’ … well, no, actually … he didn’t say that at all … his language was peppered with obscenities and, when I said it was just something from the charts, he only got more agitated. Lessons were abandoned for the evening as I was treated to a tirade on the poor quality of what made the charts (it was the mid 80s … he wasn’t wrong)...
