Back at homebase after blogging from the Vegas Beatles Fest, I can’t help but remembering how much Brian Epstein was mentioned this week.
Billy J. Kramer, who was also managed by Brian, spoke of how important he was to them, and how they were all lost without him. And Pattie Boyd, who told fans that she was chaperoned on her first date with George Harrison by Brian, reiterated how much he really cared for them, and how shocked they all were when he died.

Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band to play sold out show

SUN HERALD

BILOXI Sorry, Charlie, Ringo Starr’s gig is so-o-old out. –

Those of you who were lucky enough – we might even say smart enough – to snag a ticket will be pleased to know that this summer’s edition of the All Starrs, the 10th, will comprise the considerable talents of Colin Hay (Men at Work), Billy Squier (”Don’t Say No”), Hamish Stuart (Average White Band, in ancient times), Edgar Winter (Johnny Winter’s baby brother), newbie Gary Wright (The Dreamweaver), and on drums, Gregg Bissonette (ELO, and drummed for Steve Vai and Joe Satriani).
In addition to performing songs from Starr’s hit list – little numbers such as “With a Little Help from My Friends,” “Yellow Submarine” and “It Don’t Come Easy” – the All Starr Band will play popular tunes from each member’s repertoire. Plus, there will no doubt be a good smattering of songs from Starr’s new album, “Liverpool 8,” which hit stores in mid-January.

‘All You Need Is Love,’ a 17-hour celebration of American music and its offspring, hits L.A.

By Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

British documentary maker Tony Palmer called his 17-hour TV series exploring the origins of American popular music “All You Need Is Love,” because John Lennon told him it would make a great title. But in the three decades since he made it, it’s become evident to Palmer that he could justifiably have named it “Nick of Time.”
