A sold-out crowd had assembled in the famed Los Angeles venue on Thursday to celebrate the legacy of Jimmy Buffett at “Keep the Party Going,” a laid-back, one-night-only tribute show full of eclectic guests.
“I had the great pleasure of knowing Jimmy, and like everyone else on the bill tonight, I said, ‘This is one great man.’ He was generous. He was funny. He’d done just about everything in his life,” McCartney said, before launching into “Let It Be.

When The Beatles traveled to India in 1968, Ringo Starr made sure to pack a lot of food. Starr has a multitude of food allergies that limit his diet. He worried about having his food choices out of his control while training with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. As a result, he packed an entire suitcase full of beans.
Ringo Starr brought a full suitcase full of this food when The Beatles went to India
The Beatles attended a seminar on transcendental meditation in 1967. They decided to further their education in 1968 with a trip to visit the Maharishi in India. George Harrison had the greatest interest in meditation, but his bandmates all joined him. Harrison took note of Starr’s packing choices.
“John came, and Paul came after him, and then Richard [Ringo] followed with fifteen Sherpas carrying Heinz baked beans,” Harrison said in The Beatles Anthology. “There was also the world...

Mark Knopfler has teamed up with a host of fellow guitar legends to record a version of his song “Going Home (Theme from Local Hero)” to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.

On Saturday, Sept. 23, Disney CEO Bob Iger was in Beverly Hills, seemingly living his best life. He was at dinner with Paul McCartney and Eagles alum Joe Walsh at La Dolce Vita, an Old World Italian restaurant with long white tablecloths and dark red leather booths. Some people were discreetly snapping photos, as was to be expected with a Beatle in the house.
But not everyone was focused only on McCartney. By the time the dinner was over, blurry images of Iger at the table with McCartney had been posted in the WhatsApp group chat that includes nearly 500 showrunners. Then someone posted an image of a “Writers’ Tears” whiskey bottle (yes, a real brand), suggesting that it should be sent to Iger’s table. No one did that, but the table did receive a round of shots with a note reading, “Expectantly, from the showrunners of Hollywood.”

Eric Trump was mocked on social media after he made hypocritical claims during an interview with Fox News.
“It’s sad,” he said. “We’re no better than some of these Third World countries around the world. We are literally trying to imprison political opponents. We’re better than this.”
He additionally claimed that the Department of Justice wants to imprison his father for “political speech” over the statements Donald Trump made before the January 6 riot.
Eric Trump was referring to his father’s recent indictments – but was incorrect in his statements. He was attempting to defend his father’s legal problems but forgot to mention his own Donald Trump’s past actions.
The former president is facing multiple charges related to money he paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, mishandling classified documents and conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.

Ringo Starr fell in love with rock n’ roll at a young age. Growing up in Liverpool during the 1940s and 1950s, there wasn’t too much exposure to rock music, but some rock came to the U.K. from Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. However, Ringo Starr said it was one movie and its effect on the audience that made him want to pursue a career in rock n’ roll.
Ringo Starr loved rock music after a riot broke out during the movie ‘Rock Around the Clock’
Starr had a difficult childhood due to multiple illnesses. His first illness occurred at six years old when he contracted peritonitis after having an appendectomy. This led to Starr being in a coma for several days and missing a school year. His second illness was in 1953, when he contracted tuberculosis, leading to a two-year stay in a sanitorium.

Randy Meisner, the bassist and founding member of the Eagles who sang lead vocal on the band’s first big hit, “Take It to the Limit,” has died. He was 77.
Meisner died Wednesday night in Los Angeles of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the Eagles announced on their website.
“Randy was an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band. His vocal range was astonishing, as is evident on his signature ballad, ‘Take It to the Limit,'” a statement read.
In May 1968, Meisner joined Poco with former Buffalo Springfield members Richie Furay and Jim Messina and worked on that group’s first album, 1969’s Pickin’ Up the Pieces, but he quit shortly before the record was released.
In September 1971, Meisner, Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon formed the Eagles. They signed with David Geffen’s Asylum Records and released their eponymous...

Randy Meisner, the co-founding Eagles bassist whose soaring voice powered their massive hit “Take It To the Limit,” died Wednesday night from complications caused by chronic pulmonary disease, a statement from the band said. He was 77.
“Randy was an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band,” the band said in the statement. “His vocal range was astonishing, as is evident on his signature ballad, ‘Take It to the Limit.’”
Before he co-founded the group, Meisner played with Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band and was the original bass player for country-rock group Poco in the late 1960s.
Born on March 8, 1946, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Meisner was part of Eagles from their self-titled 1972 debut album through 1976’s Hotel California, quitting the group in 1977 amid internal feuding and behind-the-scenes turmoil. He was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit, who also had succeeded Meisner in Poco after he left to form the Eagles.

Touring with his hard rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires, the band’s latest concert in Budapest has been cancelled, and that too at the last minute as Depp ended up passing out at the hotel.
According to Hungarian news outlet Blikk, the ‘Edward Scissor Hands’ star missed the sound check ahead of the scheduled concert, but it created no suspicions whatsoever as this wasn’t the first time he did that.
A source at Blikk reported, quoted by Aceshowbiz: “Everything was set, the stage was set, the backstage crew was ready for the party. It didn’t even occur to me that there could be a problem, especially as the band members had done the sound set-up that had been scheduled for the afternoon.”
“No one thought any more about the fact that Johnny Depp didn’t take part, his microphone was set up by a staff member, but that’s not unusual for such stars.

The Eagles’ Joe Walsh expressed his indifference toward AI in a recent interview with The Associated Press, sharing he won’t feel threatened by the technology’s encroachment on the music industry until it can “destroy a hotel room.”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, who once caused $28,000 in hotel property damage and proudly sang “I live in hotels/ Tear out the walls” on 1978’s “Life’s Been Good” set an unlikely new standard for the innovative tech to surpass, claiming, “It’s computers, it has nothing to do with music.”
“It can’t destroy a hotel room, it can’t throw a TV off the fifth floor into the pool and get it right in the middle,” the guitarist shared. “When AI knows how to destroy a hotel room, I’ll pay attention to it.”

Ringo Starr took the lead on The Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends,” but he didn’t initially want to sing it. While his bandmates wrote the song with Starr’s vocal range in mind, he felt that the high note at the end was beyond his capabilities. His bandmates rallied around him to help him sing the song in its entirety.
The Beatles had to convince Ringo Starr to sing ‘With a Little Help From My Friends’
Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote “With a Little Help From My Friends” for Starr to sing. When it came time to record the vocals, though, he was hesitant. He attempted to leave the studio before he could record it.
“He was at the halfway point [of the stairs] when we heard Paul’s voice call out. ‘Where are you going, Ring?'” engineer Geoff Emerick wrote Here, There and Everywhere: My Life...

The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, as is his custom, took the occasion of his 83rd birthday to lead local friends in a chant of “peace and love” in a Beverly Hills park, while a worldwide audience of streaming Beatles fans looked on, admiring his youthful looks and demeanour and wondering if there’s any way to have what he’s having.
Brother-in-law Joe Walsh joined him for the event, as did their respective wives, sisters Barbara and Marjorie Bach, reports Variety. By coincidence, both Starr and Walsh have been a part of headline news stories in recent days — the former because of a forthcoming Beatles single, the latter because of the announcement of an Eagles farewell tour.
The two stars talked with press about those headlines, among other things, before the late-morning party got underway in earnest.

The 2024 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony felt like a family reunion: Taylor Swift collaborator Liz Rose received a heartwarming performance by her teary-eyed daughter, Gloria Estefan performed lively hits alongside her grandson and husband, and Teddy Riley was joined by his musical brothers from Harlem.
Jeff Lynne and Glen Ballard were also part of the new class, which was celebrated Thursday night in New York City. Egot recipient Tim Rice and Post Malone also received special honors.
Liz Rose, who met Swift in her early teens and co-wrote songs on her first two albums, was honored with an emotional performance by her daughter Caitlin Rose. She sang Swift’s “White Horse,” which won the best country song Grammy in 2010.

Though they’re forever tied together because of one guitar (more on that later), most music fans wouldn’t confuse Jimmy Page and Joe Walsh. Many people considered Page one of the best guitarists of all time before he formed Led Zeppelin, and his playing only improved in the band. Walsh, famously of the Eagles, is a fine player with a niche of his own. Yet Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen says Page and Walsh have one thing in common — they are both underrated in their own way.

As we mentioned, Page and Walsh occupy their own chapters in the classic rock story.
Page was the creative force in one of the biggest bands ever. Walsh flew more under the radar, but his playing was no less impressive.

Ringo Starr went through a rough patch when The Beatles broke up. Despite his hit solo songs giving him a career of his own, he missed the bandmates he called his brothers. When the drummer lived with John Lennon in California in the 1970s, John’s girlfriend called Ringo’s room the den of darkness. He refused to let in daylight as he recovered from the excessive drinking he and his roommates did, and he lived that way for years. Ringo knew he needed help, but his heavy drinking made him wait years to find it.

There was a stark contrast between Ringo Starr’s Beatles career and his post-Fab Four work. He drummed exclusively with The Beatles once he joined the band. The timekeeper worked with dozens of musicians when the group folded, never more so than when he started performing with his All-Starr Band. Ringo said he’d call on one particular drummer he has something in common with if his frequent timekeeping partner ever leaves the All-Starr Band.

This post contains spoilers for "Ted Lasso," up to season 3, episode 9 "La Locker Room Aux Folles."
If you haven't learned enough about Coach Beard on "Ted Lasso" already, that may change before the end of season 3. Portrayed by Brendan Hunt, who doubles as a writer and co-executive producer for "Ted Lasso," Beard has always juggled a certain mystique with bursts of too much information. In the show's most recent episode, "La Locker Room Aux Folles," he had to be pulled out of a press conference for getting into a heated argument with a journalist about who was a better guitarist, Joe Walsh or Jimmy Page.
This had nothing to do with Premier League football, of course, but it's just one example of how Beard has been known to lose his composure -- in this case, shouting non-sequiturs like, "Jimmy Page is a f***ing court stenographer on Adderall!" and "'...

The 80s were a tough time for Ringo Starr. After the Beatles split in 1970, Starr was finding his own way, and went down a dark path. Of course, the famous drummer’s story has a happy ending. Today, he is 83 years young, sober, and fit as a fiddle.
Ringo Starr’s fuzzy ‘80s
After the Beatles broke up, Starr initially had some success. He had eight consecutive top 10 singles in the U.S. between 1971 and 1975, including “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Back Off Boogaloo.” Throughout the decade, he put out seven solo albums. But then came the ‘80s and things started to go downhill. He began drinking and using drugs in excess.
His 1983 album Old Wave didn’t chart, which is no coincidence.
“I got involved with a lot of different medications and you can listen to my records go downhill as the amount of medication went up,” said Starr,...

He had eight consecutive top 10 singles in the U.S. between 1971 and 1975, including “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Back Off Boogaloo.” Throughout the decade, he put out seven solo albums.

Neil Young and Stephen Stills reunited at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater on Saturday night for the latter’s “Light Up The Blues” autism awareness event. It was Young’s first on-stage performance since 2019.
The largely collaborative set concluded the night, with Young stepping up for solo renditions of “From Hank to Hendrix” and “Comes a Time” before being joined by house band Promise of the Real for “Heart of Gold.” Stills added piano accompaniment on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young number, “Helpless,” and remained to deliver a series of Buffalo Springfield songs, including “For What It’s Worth,” “Bluebird,” and “Mr. Soul” with help from Joe Walsh.
