Well, 41 years after the (in)famous "bigger than Jesus," comment by John Lennon, it appears that knickers can still get in a knot when His name is invoked, allegedly in vain.

An art exhibit featuring a full monty choco-latte "Jesus," entitled, My Sweet Lord. was supposed to be featured during the wekk leading up to Easter. (See below)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=445648&in_page_id=1811

However, the mockers were put on the whole pisse festus, after moral outrage was articulated by the usual suspects, and now we have all this. (See below)
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070330/ap_en_ot/chocolate_jesus

Although one man's art is another man's curdled crap, I say we are on a slippery slope here, close to book and record and finger burning.

But here's a thought: would the artiste responsible for MSL have to pay both Stig AND the Chiffon's for the moniker?

Once again, the mind bugles.

Yet, I guess, that's showbiz!

Loads of rubbish to weed through today, so here goes...

Internet chatter has Dirk McQuickly given his first effort to Starbucks, as but a warmed-up cup of left, over.

Word on the WWW-of course from "reliable sources"-is that Macca polished up the left over tracks from his last disaster, for the next one, and it may be released in June, when Dirk is 65.

Have no idea if any of the above is even close to true, or complete bullocks, but i would guess that there would HAVE to be at least one song on the heartache of divorce.

Coach Steve, however, passes on via a news brief that a mate of Macca's calls the new LP "dynamic,"

Supposedly, a fall UK tour to follow... http://www.therockradio.com/2007/03/upcoming-paul-mccartney-album-to.html

Meanwhile, Heathen Millstone continues to amaze.

She was on Jimmy Krimble last night, claiming that she stipulated that her "Stars" dance partner be gay, so that there would be no (new) rumours about who she may be getting a leg over with since Dirk gave 'er the old heave, ho. http://www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/tm_headline=heather--no-sex-for-10-months%26method=full%26objectid=18831101%26siteid=89520-name_page.html

Then, she was on dis show-Tyra Banks -Back problems hit Heather's chances of dancing glory and Millstone was really puttin' on the ritz, or dog, whichever comes first.

Anyhow's, I wonder if any of these apparently clueless American chat hosts knows of Heathen's rather fantaskical reputation, for, how would we say this politely; elastic truthiness?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,2039987,00.html

Finally...I understand that Beatle author and former Rutle/Beatle insider Tony Bramwell (Magical Mystery Tours) has been bizy, bizy, bizy, working on a new Fabs DVD entitled "The Beatles Phenomenon" which should air later this year on the BBC.

Thanks again to Mary Rose and Brighton Beach Fish and Finger Pie for the dish.

Well, I wonder what Millstone will claim that Dirk got 'er this time after the reely beeg shew?

A pizza?

Because she flipped like one on Dancing With The Silly Starfookers last night, I seen.

Now, some nattering nabobs of negativity have heretofore taken your dear correspondent to task for predicting that Heathen would get way more than 15 minutes of fame, and way, way, way more brass than Macca wanted to pay.

But, you will most likley find I was roight. Bloody well roight, too.

As Don King likes to say: Only In America!

Two left feet? Ha, none at all!

Don't you be surprised if Millstone becomes this year, as big as Rod , or at least, a sod.

Dirk McQuickly is 64.

Hello: www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

Yes, Beatle peeps, it is comin' round again near the time, that-hopefully-the great Times of London picks their Top 10 Beatle Blogomeisters.

Now, as you'se know-or should if you are a loyal BB reader,or even hater-your dear correspondent was adjudged to be the 4th best Beatle Blogger in the Whole World Wide Web last year. See link below, if you still can't, or won't believe it.

www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,22872-2139218.html (Trust me, I was 4!)

Now, as more and more clickers visit AbbeyRd and Beatle Bits, we would hope for at least an elevation to Number 3, this year. of our Lord, 2007.

Quite a few scoops here this year hittin' the big 500, and many a merriment as well.

This is big time, baby; headin' for the topper-most of the blogger-most, or 1000 editions, whichever may come first.

So, whether you read BB for a little newz, a lot of amuzement, or a whole lotta bitchin' and moanin', please follow The Secret, and think good thoughts that may visualize way over cross the pond.

Remember, all you need is love-and readers!

Wow, this IS really shaping up as a big year for not only just Beatle fans, but also et al.

Yes, finally, The Travelling Willburys Vol. 1 &3 will be available on newly remastered CD.

And I guess this thang is gonna be rolled out in about half a dozen or so versions, with the big news being bonus tracks, and a DVD. And a digital download version.

The whole concept of the TWs seemed to energize George Harrison in the late 80s, and only the untimely death of Roy Orbison put the mockers on the whole thing.

If I recall correctly, Stig said he had been "in shock" at Roy's passing, and well, George sort of went back in his shell.

Yet one of the auxiliary benefits of the TWs, was the addition of ELO'er Jeff Lynne, who would go on to have a big hand in Beatle projects like Anthology, and such. http://www.face-the-music.de/beatle_e.html

In any event, it is about bloody time we get these remasters, but look out all you e-Bay wankers who hawk original (shitty) sounding CDs for upwards of $50. Bye-bye love to that.

Finally, how about a trip down memory lane with the below link? Enjoy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4UaFAKNJMA&mode=related&search=

In our hearts, Stig is not dead, honestly.

Good God, Mum!

It seems that Dirk McQuickly Lady Sabrina have been spooning since December, but BB spies say that Lady just "adores" Macca as a "friend."

Ha! We HAVE 'eard that one, before, haven't we then?

In any bloody event, former Lady Heathen is said to be having a sheit hemorrhage over the secret affair.

Could it be Millstone still wants to make nice with Dirk?

Oh, the mind-and other-boggles!
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/2473

Anyways, read all about it 'ere:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=444304&in_page_id=1773

Blimey, these English are a randy bunch.

Well, well, well.

It seems that a new wave of top quality Beatle and solo Fab boots are appearing like spring flowers, some from the (in)famous Yellow Dog.

A kindly reader sent me a sample of one boot entitled "Remember Lennon," and it contained some takes I had never heard before after 20 years of listening.

And ALL in release quality sound.

Remember Lennon is new, but here's an example of stuff ALREADY out there: www.withthebeatlegs.com

You get my drift.

Another:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fi0C3kH6TxE

And this: http://www.fareast-records.jp/main-1.html

So, this begs the Q: who's got 'em, and more importantly, WHO's letting them get out, and profiting from them?

Of course all it takes these days is a blank CD and a spare minute or so to burn "perfect" copies of master tapes, multi-reels, and alts and outs.

A cheeky poster to the Beatlegs forum who calls hisself, "Beatle Bob," asked if Yoko was the source, which of course your dear correspondent would highly doubt, as how could she leak, to herself?

Yet the stuff IS getting out, so who knows at this point, where nothing is real.

Obviously outs and alts are being referenced for something-that's how they usually get booted- and if the average fan is lucky, then we may see some anthologies sooner, rather than later.

Cuz after all, whether it's legit or git, all you know it is, is cash.


YO: www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

As was discussed here many moons ago, look for at least 2 George Harrison remasters this year-Dark Hoarse and Extra Texture-and, perhaps even a 5.1 DVD of the (in)famous 1974 DH Hari's Express.

Internet chatter is up regarding the above, and all your dear correspondent can wish for is a) for the above to be truthy, and b) the CD be rather copious with bonus material.

Meanwhile, Heathen Millstone continues to amaze, with star status now on par with Britney and Paris, and just slightly less talent.

On Jay Leno, she hopped out and called herself a "nightmare bitch," and claimed to have been "on the front lines" in Bosnia. A tall tale also about how her leg was lost. Narly!

She also claimed that her ex-hubby sent her flowers, recently. http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s3i16263

Plus, this fantasy: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/tm_method=full%26objectid=18762294%26siteid=89520-name_page.html

And even called dear correspondents like yours truly, "rubbish" and "wankers." http://www.thesun.co.uk/

Wot a soft in the 'ead twit, but that's showbiz!

BUT, the BIG newz in BeatleLand is all about Millstone's olde mate, Dirk McQuickly AKA Paul McCartney.

Beatle Bit spies "over there," report that Macca, who recently didn't get around much anymore, now in fact, is.

Cor blimey! Macca's date with Prince Charles' old flame

And more! http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/tm_headline=mccartney-and-the-heiress%26method=full%26objectid=18795761%26siteid=89520-name_page.html

This might cheer up the Starbucks boy from these Nielsen SoundScan data: Chaos and Ka-Ka in the Backyard crapped out at only 533,000 units, whilst Back in the US from 2002, just shy of a mill.

Wonder if the coffee company knows that if they do offer the full Macca catalogue of 30+ LPs, that only Band on the Run, Wings Over America, Wings Greatest Hits, and perhaps Venus and Mars do more than sheit.

But again, and lucky, really; that's showbiz!

Thanks again to Mary Rose of Eel Pie Enterprises for tattling.

For 7 years i've been on the road pretty hardcore ... and have been sending out emails about tours, and cds, and all that stuff ... and i try to keep them to a minimum, so i hope you don't mind me sending you this email. I can't get this off my mind, so i thought that i should send this to everyone on my list to bring attention to this terrible tragedy.
Here is the story that i blogged yesterday on my myspace:
Two weeks ago i stood at 12th and Porter watching Shawn Byrne play with his friend, Buck Jones ... i knew Buck a little, but not well ... but knew him to be a nice young man with a promising future ... and a young son.
I called Shawn today to talk to him about some upcoming touring, and i asked him how he was doing ... and he said, "not very well" ... and then told me the story.
I'm just sickened ... i can't believe it ... i'm so sad for Buck, and his family. His myspace is http://www.kevinmontgomery.com/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=23&e=Mzc4Mg==&l=http://www.myspace.com/youonlycallmewhenyouredrunk
I can relate to Buck on many different levels ... when i saw him play 3 weeks ago at 12th and Porter in Nashville ... and he mentioned his 7 month old son from the stage ... and then when i heard where the accident happened ... i've traveled 1-30 to Dallas probaby 40 times or more in my lifetime ... and know the area well ... in fact, lost a mattress off the roof of my truck when i was moving back from LA about 13 years ago right where the accident happened. I'm angered that the AAA service recommended that he leave the vehicle and go look for a mile marker ...
There are two ways that you can aid his wife and young son that i can see
1) You can buy his cd from http://www.kevinmontgomery.com/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=23&e=Mzc4Mg==&l=http://www.westernbeat.com/index2.html and then every time you put his cd into your player you will honor his memory through music.
2)There is a fund setup at Third Fifth Bank in Brentwood, TN - you will see the address at the end of the story.His myspace page is http://www.kevinmontgomery.com/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=23&e=Mzc4Mg==&l=http://www.myspace.com/youonlycallmewhenyouredrunk

Promising young Nashville singer dies in Texas accident
By PETER COOPERStaff Writer
Buck Jones' heroes had begun to catch on to him.
Texas singer-songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard, whose "Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother" was the first thing Jones ever sang in public, heard Jones' music and liked it enough to play it on his radio show down in Texas. Grammy-winning Jim Lauderdale thought enough of Jones to sing on his debut album, "Lucky Star".
"He's the kind of person you'd like for a younger brother," Lauderdale said Saturday evening. "He was such a great guy, so positive and so talented. He was as nice as he was talented, and he was really talented."
Buck Jones died Saturday, sometime around 2:30 a.m. He was 33, he left a wife and an infant son, and he was doing what it seemed he was always doing: trying to get to a gig. He and guitarist Jon Byrd were traveling to play a private party in Dublin, Tex. when the car blew a tire near Greenville, Tex.. They called Triple A and were told to report their highway mile marker so assistance could find them.
Jones walked off to find the marker and never returned. He was struck by a car. Byrd had to identify the body and then drive back to Nashville, stunned and grieving.
After Jones quit his bank teller job at SouthTrust on West End Avenue, he was able to travel for gigs without too much trouble. A promising Nashville singer, he released an album called "Lucky Star" back in 2005, and things seemed headed in a good direction.
People were enjoying his music, particularly people who heard his regular shows in Music City and music fans down in his native Texas. By the end of 2006, he'd signed a deal to re-release "Lucky Star" with national distribution, he'd reached the Top 10 of R&R's Americana chart and he'd received a national performance activity award from SESAC. And when the gigs didn't pay enough, he could pick up enough construction work to support his family.
An article in Country Weekly magazine ran in January, in the "Who's New" section.
"I don't know how people measure success," Jones told Country Weekly writer Chris Neal. "I guess it's the records you sell and the dollars you make. But I've never measured success that way. I've always measured it by people coming up and telling me, 'Man, you're doing the right thing.'"
By that measure, Jones was doing quite well. People often told him that sort of thing. "Friends, it's true: Buck Jones was born to sing," was Matt Bjorke's review on the www.countrymusicabout.com website.
He began asserting himself on Nashville's music scene as a stage-hand, helping out on the weekly Billy Block's Western Beat shows in the early part of the new century. "He helped out for about a year before he said, 'Hey, I'd like to play on the show,'" Block said. "I didn't even know he could sing. That's how low-key he was. But I gave him a shot and he was great. That was probably 2001, and we built this friendship and started playing music together and it grew and grew."
Block became Jones' drummer, booking agent and co-producer. He helped bring about the "Lucky Star" album, and he watched Jones interact with Nashville musicians, both the famous and the non-descript. "It was an ego-less trip for him," Block said. "He was a sponge. He'd go see somebody play and come back saying, 'Wow, that's great.' He was a lover of music, and a fan of so many people."
Jones' personality reminded some of the late Walter Hyatt, a stupendous Nashville-based musician who perished in the ValuJet plane crash in 1996. Jones often sang Hyatt's songs, telling friends, 'I never met Walter Hyatt, but I love him.'" Jones' inclusion of Hyatt's songs in his sets introduced Hyatt's music to a new generation of audiences, and Lucky Town includes versions of Hyatt's "Houston Town" and "Goin' To New Orleans," with Allison Moorer singing harmonies on the latter tune.
"Having Lauderdale and Allison on the album, Buck was over the moon," Block said. "That meant so much to him."
Saturday afternoon, as millions of revelers prepared for St. Patrick's Day, Lauderdale shed a tear as he got ready to board a flight. Musicians lead gypsy lives, and it's safer to travel by plane than by car. Back in Nashville, Block composed himself enough to tell what he knew about Jones' last hours.
"He came by the house Friday around 2 p.m.," Block said. "He came to pick up some CDs, and a dozen little packages with the Country Weekly article and a little flier that said, 'Buck Jones Appearing Tonight,' with a blank where the date and the venue would be.'"
No funeral details are yet available. A memorial fund has been set up, and the fund will benefit seven-month-old son Walker Dylan Jones and wife Amy-Beth Jones. Contributions may be sent to the Buck Jones Memorial Fund, care of Fifth Third Bank, 5000 Maryland Way, Brentwood, TN 37027.
Really sad ... i'm not sure if he had life insurance, but my gut feeling says, no, so if it so moves you ... kick in for his young family ... Kevin


A good cause.

The day after Heathen Millstone hopped around on Dancing With The Non-Stars, madder than a March hare, she was described in news reports as "graceful."

Well, your dear correspondent might not go that far, but at least the tart never keeled over.

Plus to be honest, she does have a nice arse and gam.

And thanks to Beatle Bob who astutely observed that Heathen recieved the proper score: 6-6-6.

Look, this whole thing is SO big-time bollocks showbiz!

Millstone is perhaps the BIGGEST (true) celeb the show has ever had, and ratings appear to be through the bloody roof for her first appearance and trot.

So, what do you think? Like, they're going to red card her any time soon?

Hell, fookin' no! http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancingwiththestars/fantasydancing/index -IF, you can stand it.

That would be like cashing in their meal ticket, and they may be icky, smarmy weasels, but they sure ain't stupid.

In fact, the only thing the producers were not quick enough to do, was to secure Macca as one of the dancin' decider judges.

Now THAT, would really have been something. BONUS: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=443670&in_page_id=1773&ico=Homepage&icl=TabModule&icc=picbox&ct=5

GET YO FREAK ON: www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

Although I think the show blows the big wiener, I DVR'd the sucker and fast-forwarded the drek to get to our Heathen Millstone and her rather poofy looking partner, just so I could report clues for you all.

My impression is that although Heathen appears to have misplaced some of her previous cleavage, she does have a fit frame for a 40 year odd female fem-nutter.

And guess wot, then? She did not come last in the first round of the competition, ending with a solid 6 from all 3 judges, and third to last place overall, BEFORE the Internet and phone-in vote.
But since the vituperate Macca Madhatters wishing for Heathen's early demise can't really vote against her, I'd say she is a lock to continue on.

After all, she IS the main star here, as the crush of pho-togs at LAX and her hotel demonstrate.

One funny thing I picked up on though, she appears to actually be channeling Dirk McQuickly in her accent, and mannerisms.

You know, the 1964-5 jolly-old-England-chirper bon vi vant, etc.

Must drive Macca mad.

Which may be the whole bloody idea.

Anyways, check for yourself at www.abc.com

(Can ya's guess who I'm votin' fer?)

Now, you know very well, well, well, how very much your dear correspondent-the 4th best Beatle Blogger in the entire WWW-absolutely loves to write for you, but this, this, you just gotta see.

On March 15, in London,. Liz Palmer of CBS News caught up with our lovely Heathen Millstone and during a walk-about, Millstone was combative, and taking no prisoners.

Although I could repeat for you what she nattered on about, I think it is MUCH better that you witness for yourself what she had to say, but also the way, she said it.

This is obviously a woman who has a high regard for herself and makes me ask myself yet once again: what the bloody 'ell was Dirk thinking?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU2_jYeil7g

AND, THIS JUST IN: Millstone on Jay Leno, Wednesday, March 21.

The Beatles first engineer at Abbey Road, Norman "Hurricane" Smith, is out with a new book entitled, John Lennon Called Me Normal, and while it is not wholly a book on the Fabs, it does contain several rather explosive claims.

According to Smith-who had his own pop hit in the 60s-Babe What Would You Say-and was an RAF pilot in WWII, it was the Hurricane himself who actually produced the Lads first few sides, not Sir George Martin.

Smith writes that Martin had no use for pop music and did not even understand the Beatles appeal in 1962. According to Norman, George only took the reigns-and the credit-after it was obvious the boys were going to the toppermost of the poppermost.

But perhaps of even more revelation, is Smith's claim that Brian Epstein did a "bent" deal with music publisher Dick Jaws, who signed the group up for, as they said in the Rutles, the rest of their lives.

Smith says that EMI's in house publishing arm, Ardmore & Beechwood-which published the music for the first couple Beatles singles- got Shanghaied by the secret deal cooked up between Jaws, Martin and Epstein.

Kim Bennett, who worked for Ardmore & Beechwood, claims that John Lennon and Paul McCartney barely even knew what they were signing away when they inked the Jaws contract, and in fact were en route to a concert before stopping to initial the deal, and then run.

How does Bennett describe the whole affair?

"Thieving load of bastards," that's how.

This book, might be a sensation.

OUCH! www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

The Toronto Star had a blurb today saying that not only had Dirk agreed to join Starbucks Music for his new "break-up" CD wanking, but also that He had bade farewell to EMI after 43 years.

So of course this will mean that Macca's entire solo catalogue should be re-introduced via the coffee peddlers, and, hopefully, that will mean remasters all round, and perhaps bonus tracks and such for each title.

Hopefully, that is.

A greatly expanded Band on the Run?

Hopefully.

Meanwhile, Heathen Millstone has appeared on GMA to yak up her upcoming Dancing With The So-Called Stars gig.

Her nibs complained that she had had a rough go of it lately, and hoped that she did not break a leg, or even lose one. Ahem.

Moving right along...a UK tab has also taken Millstone to task over the dancing crapola, and predicts that Heathen will be the first contestant sent off because-and I'm paraphrasing here- everyone hates her guts.

But not me. I don't even know her.

Everyone has got to earn somehow, and if she knows how to win at love, than as in war, all's fair.
I think.

Yes, even Yahoo news picked up an AP story that Heathen Millstone hath landed in the Holly hood, to begin the beguine of her quite retarded go at dancing with the non stars.

So, whilst Dirk McQuickly finished up his new album, tentatively entitled, I Was A Daft Twit, for his new label KeepMeBucks,Heathen was basking in the sunny smog of LA, and preparing to be the first to be given the olde heave-ho from the silly show.

But, you may ask, will Millstone be given a mulligan so as to compete more better on a playing field upon which most-if not all-carry two gams.

Personally, I could not give a poop, and what hat if misguided Macca Madhatters show up to protest the messy maritals ongoing between Millstone/Macca?

And recently, a UK paper published a check-list of claims made by Millstone through her Dirk years, of which the scandal sheet deduced of said claims to be bollocks, mostly.

So, will the audience be with our Heathen, or agin 'er?

Will she tumble for ya?

Will there be an earthquake?

Will Dirk get away with changing labels to keep the brass from Millstone?

Will Capitol/EMI writ Dirk?

These are questions that will surely last a lunchtime.


GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNIN': www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

Thanks to NY Barb who passed along an article that sez Dirk McQuickly, in between labels, has considered being a Starbucks boy, and forsaking his precious tea, for evermore.

Yes, it appears that Macca may make music whilst cappuccinos and double lattes roam the air, and sooth the savage breast.

Now, as some you faithful are aware, your correspondent, the 4th best Beatle Blogger as chosen by the Times of London, has been an open tea drinker since 1967, the Summer of Rut, when tea was on every one's lips, and shirt.

According to secret sources, it appears the coffee crusaders have make Dirk promise to wean Himself from the tea, and on to the bean, in order to put out any music.

And...WE NOW INTERUPT THS BEATLE BITS BLOG FOR BREAKING NEWS:

The Daily Telly reported that Heathen Millstone was set to be ready to take about $70 mill of Dirk's cash and run.

However, Heathen also reportedly told Dirk, that he would "never be rid" of her.

Dirk, IF-and that's a big IF this story is true-it is a bargain at 70; take it!!!!

LISTEN PEOPLE: www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

I read the Daily Mail newz today, and oh boy, was your dear correspondent roight.

According to the DM's tome on Round 1 of Macca/Millstone Fight of the New Millennium, the 1st round goes to merry Millstone.

The Daily Mail's story sez that despite Dirk's silly peace sign pissings on emerging from the courthouse-as BB cautioned about a few post it notes back-the judge gave McQuickly a right good pranging, forcing the poor billionaire to cough up mucho brass for Heathen's heretofore security detail, AND, in what musta made Macca mega mad, gave permission to the one legged wonder to carry along the young child whilst Millstone dances amongst the stars, in LA.

And the DM reports that the court awarded her "even more" interim support then what she had reportedly asked for, something in the neighborhood of 4 mill a year.

Nice work, If you can git it, mate.

Now, Dirk, you olde geezer,will you take BB's advice: settle YESTERDAY, you twit!!!

Elsewhiles, you may be fixing a hole where a REAL lotta your dough goes out, even IF you were in NYC recording for your next mediocre platter in hopes of making even more fortune that Millstone can pick at sans decree nisi.

NB: Thanks to me Mum, for the dish

One of the world-wide spies for your 4th best Beatle Blogger in the whole wide world, hath upon this day confirmed that an olde friend of Johnny Lennon, one May Pang, will be releasing a book next year entitled, the Lost Lennon Archives.

OK, OK, so the info came straight outta Publisher's Weekly, but wot the 'ell, eh?

The book, by Pang with Mal Peachy of Essential Weekly, will feature about 150 pix shot by May herself, and, according to the blurb in PW, "refute the 'official' line that Lennon's relationship with Pang was just a dalliance."

Wot, as they, a surprise!

Thanks to Mary Rose of Brighton for this scoop.

Well, well, well, and freakin fare thee well.

Right, right. Is she bloody well right?

Heathen Millstone's "dream team" of legalists hath upon this day requested of Durk McQuickly nee McCartney, a tidy sum of around 4 million dollars a month, to keep Mz Millstone in the style upon which she has become accustomed too.

Dirk, meanwhile, has reportedly said fook all that, to this.

My, how the last year has flown like his bird.

Yes, just last anum at this time a merry Millstone and dorky Dirk landed in icebound north eastern Canuckistan to protest the nasties clubbing seals, and then mouthing off on Larry King about the whole wanking affair.

And now, we have all this.

Yet Millstone is not totally counting on the courts to come through with the brass booty.

So she is gonna be dancin' and prancin' with a star, or as Billy Bleedin' Idol once observed, Dancin' Wit Meself.

Yes, it will really be something.

Or another.


HEY COMPLAINERS: www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

As Blind Mellon Pye once said, "never count your chicks, until you have them in bed."

And correspondingly, Dirk MCQucikly and his legion of Macca Madhatters shant not be larfin' too terribly hard over round 1 of the Millstone Wars, lest he who laughs first, will get sodded, last.

Just because Macca comes out of the court dock flashing a goofy peace sign, and Millstone slinks out with a drawn and possibly quarter horsie face, may, or does NOT mean what some of the press are making it out to be.

To wit, Millstone will end up getting what the Who once aptly described as "sweet fook all."

One small said to be legit wanking bit apparently leaked out, that Dirk was willing to pay for security for Millstone ONLY when the wily wench is playing with child, but not without.

This, if true, sounds awful petty to your dear correspondent, especially for a guy like Dirk who is supposedly worth about 2 billion bucks.

Rich people ALWAYS want to avoid long term commitment, preferring to offer up (relatively) large sums to get their tormentors out of their hair.

So, again as I have said many times, Dirk WILL offer up a lump sum, although surely major back and forth will take place over a year or so, as Millstone, no matter how daft, won't likely take the first offer.

And again, as I have previously mentioned, IF Dirk-as he was reported to have done-claimed to the court that he had made no income during his marriage to Millstone-he may encounter a hostile judge, a group that don't usually take kindly to fibs about matrimonial money issues.

Yes, granted Heathen has, and most likely will continue to tall tale for the duration, yet that type of spinning is usually merely just collateral in a family law case. In fact, expected.

But, the fat IS in the fire now, and the only real and relevant question is how well Dirk will eventually be done.

DO YOU TAKE THESE QUESTIONS? www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

OK, your dear correspondent-the 4th Best Beatle Blogger in the whole wide www, has been slagged lately for not writing enough about "the music."

So, here's some music talk....

Run right out-right now-and buy the March MOJO Sgt. Pepper Anniversary Issue-which contains about 20 pages on the seminal LP- before they are all gone, or exiled to Australia.

(The mag is usually around a month behind in North America, so I really mean, seek it out now.)

Besides some good, insightful writing on the album and its times, the mag comes with a groovy trib CD, in which a gaggle of modern music makers re-do Sgt. P, with a bonus rendering Of All You Need is Love.

I mean, the cover alone is worth the price of admit, and if I weren't so bloody skint, I'd buy me two and frame one.

And yes, this year is dripping with nostalgia, as us Fab first Genners are 40 years on, and not-as I'm sure we actually believed-getting any younger.

But with the wankers at Rutle Corp finally-yes, fookin' finally-getting round to remastering the Fabs' finest effort(s) within a few months or so, at the least the thing will sound like our long ago ears remember it.

Maybe even better.

Lucky, really.

Well, well, well.

Paulie Mac and Heathen Millstone appeared in a London towne court to begin to thrash out a bundle o' brass for Millstone, and perhaps a child, for Macca.

Now, real newz is hard to come by, but if the reaction shots of the lost lovers coming out of the court are any indication, then it appears Dirk won a 10-8 round in stanza one.

Macca is rather cocky looking, whilst Millstone appears to slink out of back door, looking rather drawn, and perhaps about to be quartered, as to what she will eventually make off with.

Now, given that moneybags Maccaman is closing in on a reputed 2 BILLION dollar net worth, I shant think He should get too cock-sure at all.

Because you know, wot judge would not be sympathetic to even a fantasist like heathen, when it comes to 4 years of matrimonial madness, and a dear little innocent child?

Of course Dirk brought all this bother on Himself when a) he married the nut, and b) when he failed to secure a pre-nup which has to go down in the anals of soft in the head of all time.

But, as Bruce Cockburn once noted, you pays your money and you takes your chances, when dealing in love and romance.

And believe me, Dirk will pay.

A lot.


Hey: www.quiz-u-boomer.blogspot.com

It is a gamboling Dirk with his cute child, B, crossing the street down Brighton way. Or London.

And thanks to one of me spies in Jolly Olde England, Mary Rose, for passing it along.

And Millstone is no where in sight!
