In a deal reported to be around $402 million, the money will be split between McCartney, Starr and the estates of Lennon and Harrison. EMI, Sony and Michael Jackson will […]

A pre-nup doesn’t sound so bad after all: McCartney and Mills settlement

Crazy week here, people, my electricity was out again this week. I’m moving to wind power! I got back just in time to see Paul McCartney and his, ahem, lovely ex-wife Heather Mills have reached a divorce agreement to the staggering tune of $108 million. They’ll firm up the rest of the […]

I *heart* Paul McCartney

Messy divorce and tabloid hell notwithstanding, I’m still in love with the cute Beatle. I refuse to wax poetic about my puppy-eyed mop top but let’s just put out the offer that I’m available - if he doesn’t mind five mini-hippies and a husband in tow.
My top five musical crushes:
1. Paul McCartney
2. Jim Morrison
3. […]

Joe v The Beatles : She Came in Through the Bathroom Window

One is bluesy, one is rock. One has freakish arm movements, one is playing in elevators all over the world (sigh).
Who’s version of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window do you prefer? I love ya, Paul, but this one belongs to Cocker. Then again…

Shatner loves Lucy

No. I do not have a fixation with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, however when the Great One - William Shatner - shares his…unique… talent with us on one of the great hippie songs, I am helpless but to obey.

kaleidoscope eyes

You’ve got to love a band with its own cartoon — yes, I’ll get to the Archies at some point, just not today. The post from yesterday with the girl with colitis got me thinking about Lucy and digging in YouTube for a little sumthin’ sumthin’ for y’all.
Enjoy the show-
