...when some drunken oral ambition goes horribly awry, but that’s only because it reminded me of a similar experience my roommate had last year. I soon got over my nostalgia, realizing that nothing could salvage such annoying self-obsession: not hot lesbian make-out sessions, not Fab Moretti banging on a drum, not even text message bathroom fellatio invitations. Sad, perhaps, but, in their own words, “that’s the way it is.”—Henry M. CowlesJesus of SuburbiaGreen Day Green Day seem to want nothing more than...
That kind of gratuitous cruelty isn't all that uncommon in The Beatles. The Fab Four hated the silly, lovable mop-top image they created, and on that score alone they would probably love Spitz's book. He marshals a staggering mass of research in support of the conclusion, broadly speaking, that Lennon was a drug-addled, attention-hungry rageoholic who picked fights and cheated on his wife; Paul McCartney was a smarmy, manipulative charmer; and George Harrison was dour and sour.

Bass Pro is retail's answer to a chip-fab or an auto plant...
...Sept. 13, makes matters easy. It took two years to record, in part because McCartney plays almost all the instruments on it (including drums, harmonium and flugelhorn) and in part because he actually cared. Chaos and Creation is adventurous, melodic and emotionally complicated--the first album in his post-Fab Four catalog that really matters. If it is not as dark or as brilliant as Time Out of Mind, Bob Dylan's "Hey, I can still do this!" album, it belongs on a shelf nearby. "Since the Beatles, I've approached making records every which way," says McCartney...
