John Lennon A Cruel, Jealous Fiend, Says New Biography

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:04:19 +1900

John Lennon didn't give peace a chance at home - where he callously abused and routinely tormented the women closest to him. The music legend was prone to unprovoked acts of cruelty, jealous rage and perverse sexual fantasies, according to the explosive new tell-all "John Lennon: The Life" by Beatles biographer Philip Norman. The portrait is so damning that Yoko Ono, who contributed extensively and even convinced son Sean Lennon to speak to Norman, has panned the book as "too mean." The fans who flocked to Strawberry Fields in Central Park yesterday to celebrate what would have been Lennon's 68th birthday might want to stay away from the exposÃ©, which chronicles his callous treatment of Yoko, the physical and verbal abuse of his two sons, and his chronic infidelities.

Why Mets Fans Are Inevitably Cooler Than You

Tue, 7 Oct 2008 10:08:00 +1900

The Yankees may have all the rings, the Cubs have the "curse" and Red Sox nation has Buckner, but there is one thing that the Mets have that no other team can boast. They're soon-to-be ex-home, Shea Stadium, is often (and officially by VH1) revered as the most hallowed rock venue in the US. Most of you should already know about the Beatles first stepping onto US soil for a performance at Shea (video promo below), but the biggest names in rock - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Police, Grand Funk, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Elton John and Janis Joplin - have all played the Flushing staple since it opened it's doors in 1965.
