...highly personal letter from Young to his son. It just barely survives disembowelment at the hands of a heavy, overmixed electric guitar solo before the final verse. "Why're you growing up so fast, my boy?" the banjo-plucking Young asks, an appropriate enough question in an age when Ringo Starr is enjoying his new status as a grandfather. The album's final two cuts, "Bound for Glory" and the wailer "Where Is the Highway Tonight?" are classic Nashville shlock...
BORN. To Sarah Menikides Starkey, 25, receptionist, and her husband since January, Zak Starkey, 19, pop drummer following in the footsteps of his famous father Ringo Starr: a daughter, their first child; in Ascot, England. Name: Tatia Jayne. Weight: 7 lbs. 2 oz. Ringo, 45, thus becomes the first grandfather Beatle...
John had a heavy heroin problem. Paul picked off girls like grapes. George, according to Harrison Brown, bedded Ringo's wife and later, when asked why, just shrugged and said, "Incest."

Epstein agonized over a merchandising deal that lost the Beatles millions, but Lennon consoled himself with cash delivered by concert promoters in brown paper bags. Epstein took 25%, and the band...

Mick Jagger was leading what appeared to be an outright insurrection. The Stones incited legitimate riots by 1965 and rarely got though more than four or five songs. Their fans either rushed the stage and destroyed their equipment or had so intimidated the hapless policemen sent to protect the performers that the power would be shut down...
...good to see old friends back together again. First Paul McCartney, 39, worked on three songs for Stop & Smell the Roses, the recent album of fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, 41. Then Paul decided that what the package needed was a brief video musical to go with the tunes. With Ringo's wife Barbara Bach, 35, and Linda McCartney, 39, he and Ringo made The Cooler, an eleven-minute featurette set in a futuristic prison policed entirely by women. Cooler stars Starr as a habitual escapee, with McCartney hamming his way through three roles, including one with dyed blond...
