MUSIC NEWS YOU CAN USE FOR MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27TH


BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1942, THE MAN TURNED THE GUITAR INTO A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION, THE BEST AXE-MAN EVER...JIMI HENDRIX

YOUR MUSIC NEWS FOR THIS MONDAY...
ONE OF THE FINAL GAPING HOLES IN THE ITUNES UNIVERSE MAY FINALLY BE GETTING FILLED.
ACCORDING TO FORTUNE MAGAZINE, THE BEATLES, A GLARING HOLD-OUT SINCE THE ADVENT OF ONLINE MUSIC STORES, ARE IN TALKS TO GIVE UP THE GOODS.
DETAILS ARE STILL CONGEALING, BUT THE POSSIBLE DEAL (WORTH TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS), WOULD INCLUDE THE ENTIRE BEATLES CATALOG BEING UP FOR SALE ON "ITUNES" FOR A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME. ALSO IN THE WORKS? ALA "U2", A BEATLES-BRANDED IPOD, AND JUST MAYBE AN IPOD COMMERCIAL FEATURING A BEATLES SONG.
SO I GUESS WE CAN ALL LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING "HARD DAYS NIGHT" DRILLED MERCILLESSLY INTO OUR HEADS...

SPEAKING OF U2, THE BOYS FROM DUBLIN HAVE BEEN "USURPED" AS THE OWNERS OF THE TOP-GROSSING TOUR IN ROCK HISTORY. U2'S "VERTIGO" JAUNT THAT TOOK UP MOST OF 2005 WAS THE PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER RAKING IN $333 MILLION DOLLARS. BUT NOW, THOSE GYRATING GEEZERS IN THE ROLLING STONES HAVE TAKEN OVER THE TOP SPOT WITH THEIR NEVER-ENDING "BIGGER BANG" TOUR. SINCE THE FALL OF 2005, WHEN THE TOUR STARTED, THE STONES HAVE GROSSED $437 "MILLION" DOLLARS OVER 110 SHOWS.
AND THAT WILL BUY A LOT OF "METAMUCIL"...

AND FINALLY THIS MONDAY...
A LITTLE OASIS NEWS FOR YOU. WITH THE BAND ON HIATUS AND A GREATEST HITS PACKAGE CURRENTLY ON THE SHELVES, LEAD EYEBROW NOEL GALLAGHER SAYS HE'S CONTEMPLATING A SOLO ALBUM. AND WHILE HE CLAIMS TO HAVE ENOUGH MATERIAL FOR FOUR RECORDS, HE ADMITS HE HAS TO HURRY. SAYS NOEL: "I'D LIKE TO MAKE ONE WHILE I STILL LOOK GOOD AND BEFORE I LOOK LIKE PHIL COLLINS, WHICH, EVENTUALLY...I WILL."

A FATE I WOULDN'T WISH ON ANYBODY...LOOKING LIKE PHIL COLLINS...
