• The Beatles Get Back to Where They Once Belonged

  It was forty years ago today when Paul McCartney told the band to play.  The Beatles were on the roof of Apple Corp., their record company's building, gearing up to play and record the songs from their stalled "Get Back" sessions. It was freezing as hell and they hadn't performed live in over three years, but as you can see here, the band was in great spirits... Read More...

• Happy Early 65th Birthday, Joni Mitchell

  This is a great day for the peace movement that flowered (pun intended) in the 1960s. One person who must be thrilled at the prospect of an Obama presidency is the great Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, one of our personal heroes, whose birthday is on Friday but is for some reason is celebrated in a story in today's Wall Street Journal.

• Richard Wright Went To That Great Gig In The Sky (sorry for the obligatory obituary title)

  (What about: Richard Wright: Wish You Were Here... or Richard Wright Is Dead, Here Come The Wor-- no, too offensive.)

Here he is playing Comfortably Numb and leaving the stage with the other members for the final time... Read More...

"Governor Clinton-- The Sequel!" After the jump, we salute Madame Senator's incredible career (so far)... Read More...
