John Lennon Wanted Out Before McCartney
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups, Divorce, Rants,
A lost interview reveals that John Lennon told Paul McCartney he wanted “a divorce” months before The Beatles split.
The dialogue between with the guitarist and singer reveals that he told his co-songwriter of his intentions to split the band in September 1969, before the release of their last album Let It Be.
Until now, it has widely been thought that Paul was responsible for the group—which also featured Ringo Starr and George Harrison—splitting, when he quit the band in April 1970. In the taped interview, John said that he told Paul when they fell out at a record company meeting.

Mariah Carey Edges Past Elvis
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
Although I knew this day would eventually come, I still have a hard time believing it’s finally happened. Mariah Carey has just now surpassed The King.
Mariah’s latest single, Touch My Body, just became the Number One song on Billboard’s Hot 100. This achievement gives the 38-year-old singer a total of eighteen #1 hits on those charts, edging her right past Elvis Presley. (He was holding reign at 17.) With a few more years under her belt, she may one day pass The Beatles as well. (The Fab Four clock in at 20 toppers.)
While I will fully admit that I like many of Carey’s songs, I find it strange to even think of her musical library being in the same realm as those two legends. Will her songs eventually stand the test of time? Which one of her singles could possibly compare to something like Let It Be or Can’t Help Falling in Love?
Carey’s next album, E=MC2, will be released on April 16.
