...wonderful life? It sure looks swell on TV. You'll see the infant Beatles in matching leather outfits (Lennon: "We looked like four Gene Vincents, or tried to"). Lennon talks of his love for Elvis--"a guy with long, greasy hair wigglin' his ass and singin' Hound Dog." Their long slog to the top (John and Paul met on July 6, 1957, so that by the time the Beatles hit the U.S. in 1964, their career together was already half over) gets a brisk treatment, lighting for but a moment on the specters of Stu Sutcliffe and Pete Best, band...

As writer-producers, impresarios on call to Elvis Presley, the Coasters, the Drifters and many more, Leiber and Stoller were the prime concocters of sass, smarts...
...also said that initially he'd withheld this information from lawyers on both sides, but later called prosecutors because "ever since I had that conversation, it was just eating me up." During cross-examination, defense attorney Carl Douglas repeatedly tried to portray Shipp, an aspiring actor, as a publicity hound trying to boost his acting career under the trial's media spotlight. But Shipp, in an intensely charged moment, said: "I'm doing this for my conscience and my peace of mind. I will not have the blood of Nicole on Ron Shipp. I can sleep at night, unlike...
