Paul McCartney’s Son Forges Own Musical Career
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip,
Sir Paul McCartney inspired his own son to make music.
The Beatles legend is a massive influence on James, 32, who has formed The Light with pals Bryan Johnson on drums and bassist Charlie Turner, who grew up in Allerton, the same area of Liverpool where Paul spent his childhood and inspired many of the group’s later hits.
James - who plays a cherry-red Fender Stratocaster guitar given to him by the international star - said: “I have been playing music since I was nine and writing along the way. I met my band about a year ago. Producer David Kahne introduced us and my dad helped.”

Simon Cowell Points Out Beatles’ Weak Spot
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip,
Simon Cowell has blasted The Beatles, claiming they would have failed auditions on The X Factor.
The music mogul - who once rejected the Spice Girls, the best-selling girl group of all time - says he would have kicked the iconic band off his British TV talent show unless they fired drummer Ringo Starr. “If The Beatles came on the show we would have said, ‘We’ll take those three - Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison - but probably lose the drummer,’” the 49-year-old said. “With Ringo, I’m afraid, we would have said ‘bad news’.”
Speaking in a US television interview with his Britain’s Got Talent co-star Amanda Holden, Simon also revealed what drives him. “I like winning, Amanda. That’s what excites me,” Cowell admitted.
Simon is now focusing on the career of Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle, who will perform on the final of America’s Got Talent next week. Her debut album is due for release in November, and is expected to shoot to the top of the charts in America and Britain.

New Old John Lennon Interview Revealed
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Rock,
An old interview with John Lennon has recently come to light, revealing that there might have been a great deal of animosity among the post-breakup Beatles members. In an interview with Rolling Stone’s Jann Wenner, Lennon unleashed some anger toward former band mates.
“We got fed up with being sidemen for Paul [McCartney],” says Lennon at one point. He also said the “music died” in the group and that “we never improved,” which I think plenty of critics would argue with.
