U2 Break Popes Record, Beatles' Lucy Passes Away, more
-
Artist:
U2 couldn't let Giants Stadium be demolished with out setting one more record. Their Thursday night show last week had 84,000 in attendance, breaking the record held since 1995 by Pope John Paul II. Bono even gave Bruce Springsteen a shout out, acknowledging the size of the crowd, saying "Sorry Bruce. We know it's your birthday and all."
Lucy Vooden, who will forever be known as the inspiration for the Beatles' Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, passed away last week from lupus. She was 46.
Per legend, John Lennon's son Julian brought home a drawing of Lucy, who was one of her classmates. The drawing inspired Lennon and Paul McCartney to write the song which would go on to be one of the group's most controversial.
Tom Waits recorded a number of his recent North American and European shows and is planning on putting out a live set. Very little is known about the album at this time other than it will possibly be called Glitter and Doom Live and be released sometime in the fall.
Classic Rock has an exclusive interview with Iggy Pop on his upcoming appearance in Lego form in Lego Rock Band. There's no big story about how he became one of the famous building blocks. "They asked. There’s not much I won’t do, if you asked nicely."
When asked what other musician he would like to see immortalized as a Lego, Pop said, "Bo Diddley, because his music is already a virtual reality, and his name is very video game. I would also say James Brown, but he’s not rock, more super-heavy funk. Both of these guys should be added to the Mount Rushmore monument, though."
Those who receive Showtime will be able to see the Bon Jovi documentary When We Were Beautiful on October 24.
Loretta Lynn co-wrote a song for the new album by Todd Snider. Don't Tempt Me is on The Excitement Plan, out now on Yep Rock.
The two got together after Lynn specifically asked for Snider as a writing partner. Their sessions produced three songs, the one on Snider's album and one that will be on Lynn's upcoming LP where she'll sing it with Elvis Costello.
