I'M GOING TO SEE THE BOOTLEG BEATLES AS THE BOOTLEG MARK CHAPMAN

To mark the point where he'd have been getting free travel on the Merseyrail network, John Lennon's 65th birthday sees the release of a definitve compilation of his post-Beatle solo work. It's definitive as in "definitively proves how poor most of his half-assed work was". Double Fantasy? About as much fun as double math.

In other ringo-carried-them new, Paul McCartney is set to appear in a series of ads for Fidelity, a financial services company. Obviously, Paul must badly need the money.

Still, we look forward to his ideas for how we might make our money go further - we wonder if our idea, a redistributive tax system that would take 90% from multi-bilionaires shilling for a few extra bob and use it to fund hospitals, has occured to him?
