...budding painter and middling bassist, may seem a long shot for rock immortality. He died at 22, months before the group, which he had earlier quit, cut its first record. But according to Backbeat, Stu was the dreamboat heart of the combo and John Lennon (Ian Hart) was its soul.

O'Brien's wish list of guests includes Larry Bird, New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Get Smart's Don Adams and biographer Robert Caro. But the star will be Conan, and the sizable shadow will be Dave's. "He did ; something innovative in the 12:30 time slot," O'Brien says. "And I'm inheriting this legacy.

...YORK -- Some of the top stars in music have indulged in a guilty rock pleasure. Garth Brooks, Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz and the speed-metal band Megadeth, among other unlikely devotees, have recorded cover versions of songs by the band KISS, perhaps the schlockiest combo in rock history, for a tribute album that is due to be released early next year...
