Celebrity Buzz Yesterday in sunny Los Angeles, Paul McCartney was presented with his star on the Walk Of Fame by none other than Neil Young.

Culture Buzz Okay, maybe “Avatar Barbie” isn’t the coolest of the bunch (though James Cameron would surely disagree) but when Barbie channels the likes of Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Warhol, and Piscasso — you really can’t go wrong.
Where else can you find a complete list of not only every ballpark The Beatles played, but also how the first home game after a Beatles concert went? Very cool stuff… (via flipflopflyin.com)

I have never been more disappointed and saddened by future leaders of our country.

Imagine never having listened to Abbey Road. No, imagine never having listened to Abbey Road but being featured right on the cover. Paul Cole was accidentally included in the album as he watched the foursome one by one cross the street while on vacation in London. He thought they were just 4 “kooks.” Yes, just 4 world renowned kooks!
I have no idea how I stumbled upon this Japanese guy's drawings, but I really want to think that this Ringo and Paul head massage actually happened in real life. There are some slight homosexual undertones here.
To be fair, concerts “then” were the Beatles and concerts “now” are Miley Cyrus.
Music Buzz Here are some of the Beatles greatest hits, sung by dogs, cats and cows. Is it wrong to say I like some of these better than the originals?
Remember when the Beatles first arrived in America and their hair was considered long? Me either, because I was born in '88, but I read books.
