Recorded during Penny Lane sessions in 1967, the 14-minute Carnival of Light was played publicly only once at an electronic music festival. McCartney, who is releasing his third avant-garde record, says "the time has come for it to get its moment."http://www.newser.com/story/42831/paul-wants-to-release-beatles-holy-grail.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 16 Nov 2008 10:28:57 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/42396/the-real-eleanor-rigby-a-hospital-maid-in-liverpool.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWhen Paul McCartney famously wondered where all the lonely people came from, he had a pretty good idea for at least one of them. The title character in "Eleanor Rigby"—long proclaimed by Sir Paul to be a fictional person—worked as a maid in a Liverpool hospital in the early 1900s, the Independent reports. The source? McCartney himself, who donated a 1911 hospital ledger with the name "E. Rigby" on it to a charity auction.http://www.newser.com/story/42396/the-real-eleanor-rigby-a-hospital-maid-in-liverpool.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 11 Nov 2008 19:06:46 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/39819/ringo-warns-fans-to-get-back.html?refid=rss_all_defaultRingo Starr says he's too busy to sign autographs and won't do it anymore, the BBC reports. The ex-Beatle—who's apparently had enough adoration for one lifetime—promises to throw away all incoming mail, effective Oct. 20. “I’m warning you with peace and love I have too much to do,” the 68-year-old drummer whines in a video on his website. "No more fan mail and no objects to be signed. Nothing."http://www.newser.com/story/39819/ringo-warns-fans-to-get-back.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 13 Oct 2008 9:49:23 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/39766/lennon-not-a-nice-guy-new-bio-says.html?refid=rss_all_defaultNot everything John Lennon could Imagine was so nice, the New York Post reports. The ex-Beatle callously cheated on his first wife, groped a girl in front of Yoko Ono, and upset Ono by treating her like a lay du jour when they first met, a new biography says. But Ono, who contributed to Philip Norman's John Lennon: The Life , calls the book “too mean.”http://www.newser.com/story/39766/lennon-not-a-nice-guy-new-bio-says.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 12 Oct 2008 15:29:59 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/39068/mccartney-blasts-ex-in-song.html?refid=rss_all_defaultPaul McCartney takes a stab at ex-wife Heather Mills in a song off his upcoming album, Electric Arguments. “The last thing you do was to try and betray me … I’ll never forget it …” one tune goes, according to the tabloid Sun . “Oh woman betrayed you / I couldn’t resist you / When I made you.” The telling last line: “And you have money / And no manners.”http://www.newser.com/story/39068/mccartney-blasts-ex-in-song.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 03 Oct 2008 9:26:57 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/38003/sean-lennon-dad-screamed-at-me.html?refid=rss_all_defaultJohn Lennon's son said his give-peace-a-chance pop once screamed at him so loudly that the boy ended up in the hospital with damage to his ear, reports the New York Post . The famous Beatle became enraged when Sean, then 4, failed to heed his lessons on how to cut steak. "I remember I was lying on the floor and hurting, and him holding me and saying, 'I'm so sorry.' He did have a temper," Lennon, 32, is quoted as saying in an upcoming biography.http://www.newser.com/story/38003/sean-lennon-dad-screamed-at-me.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 21 Sep 2008 7:39:02 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/37225/twist-is-top-all-time-hit.html?refid=rss_all_defaultBillboard has produced its definitive list of the top 100 songs of the past 50 years—and it's full of surprises.
