Meanwhile, Jimmy Fallon score...

By DENISE LAVOIE BOSTON (AP) - They are rare, intimate images of John Lennon just before the breakup of the Beatles: He's hunched over a piano writing songs, smoking pot, joking about putting LSD in President Nixon's tea. Almost four decades after the footage was shot at Lennon's estate in England, his widow is in court, fighting to keep the images private. World Wide Video LLC, a Lawrence, Mas...
