  • Tuesday night, Larry King interviewed surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr along with Beatle widows Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. The show's marketing hooks included the first anniversary of Cirque du Soleil's LOVE show in Las Vegas, where the interview took place, and McCartney's new solo album, Memory Almost Full. Unfortunately, we did not learn when the Beatles catalog would receive its long-overdue remastering. King did manage to confuse Ringo with George on national television, however.

  • When Mott the Hoople toured the United States in 1973, keyboardist Morgan Fisher documented the trip with a Super 8 camera. He recently added commentary to the footage, and you can enjoy his fond memories of heavy drinking, thrift store shopping, Joe Walsh escapades, all the young dudes, and his eventual grokking of American culture here.

  • This is some new (mostly) country stuff CMT editor Chet Flippo has been enjoying lately. I second him on the Lori McKenna, Dynamites, and Tracy Nelson tracks and look forward to checking out Merle Haggard's new Working Man's Journey and Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros' "You Can't Outdrink the Truth."
