Ouch! The rockers have been working for the past year but they’re quite unhappy with the results. The Edge revealed that the band has mostly messed around and now they’ve decided to really get to work and finish the new record. He told Cmumusic.com
:
“We went into this project allowing ourselves the indulgence of making music without thinking about where it was going to end up. We’re starting to get serious now”.
Can’t wait for the new album & the new tour!

Ono and Lennon’s sons, along with privately held publisher EMI Blackwood Music Inc filed suit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan seeking to bar the filmmakers and their distributors from continuing to use “Imagine” in the movie. They are also seeking unspecified damages.
The producers cited the fair use doctrine, which allows the use of copyrighted materials for the purposes of commentary and criticism.
The producers said in a statement:
“We are disappointed therefore that Yoko Ono and others have decided to challenge our free speech right to comment on the song ‘Imagine’ in our documentary film.”

It’s being called the Independent concert at Kiev’s Independence Square on June 14 which will be free for concert goers. Paul said in a statement:
“It’s going to be [a] great evening hopefully for the Ukraine. Pull together, groove, rock ‘n’ roll — all together.”

Yoko Ono is in court trying to stop the release of rare John Lennon footage. In the footage Lennon is seen smoking pot and discussing putting LSD in Nixon’s tea.
The company who bought it paid $1 million for the rare footage which is described by Rolling Stone magazine as:
“awesome John Lennon footage you might never see.”
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 30 in Boston.
On July 10th this year, the city of Liverpool will celebrate the first Beatles day ever:
The event on July 10 will mark the 44th anniversary of the Fab Four’s triumphant homecoming to Liverpool after they conquered America in 1964.
To be honest, I find it lame. Why not celebrating the Beatles day on July 6th instead? July 6th 2008 will be the 51st anniversary of when John Lennon first met Paul McCartney. I think that this day makes much more sense in Beatles history than the day they came back to Liverpool after conquering America.

Denise Hewitt worked with Mills as an escort in the 80s and revealed Mills spoke openly in the early stages of their relationship of plans to push Sir Paul to propose.
Hewitt said Mills was determined to marry the former Beatle and also disclosed details about how they worked as £10,000-a-night prostitutes together.
In an interview on Channel 4, Hewitt claimed:
“She said, ‘I’ll give him an ultimatum and if he doesn’t marry me within say eight months, ten months, I’m going to leave him’.”
She also said Heather had made scathing remarks about Macca’s age, saying:
“Well look at me, I’m marrying an old man with bigger tits than me.”
What a lying, manipulative, ugly, and mean bitch!
