Everyone seems to like a lovable pooch - The one I posted is my lil ole Ariedale - Isabelle! Shes my best girl - and at times tries to be my boss! SHes stubborn - but shes lovable! And now lets get you caught up with some music news! Paul McCartney says George Harrison helped him overcome any anger he had towards Yoko Ono following her decision to not let him rearrange the credits to Yesterday on The Beatles Anthology. George would say to me, You dont want stuff like that hanging around in your life. Instead of the credits saying Lennon and McCartney, he wanted it to be McCartney and Lennon. While McCartney has forgiven Yoko, the one person he says he can never forgive is Mark David Chapman, who killed John Lennon on December 8th, 1989. Whether it was evil or just deranged — it was unforgivable, I think I could pretty much forgive anyone else. But I dont see why Id want to forgive him. Some bad news regarding the Macs John McVie... Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie has been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer and will commence treatment next month. As a result, the band has canceled its tour of Australia and New Zealand. In a statement the band says, We are sorry to not be able to play these Australian and New Zealand dates. We hope our Australian and New Zealand fans as well as Fleetwood Mac fans everywhere will join us in wishing John and his family all the best.” McVie joined the band in 1967 and, along with Mick Fleetwood, has been a mainstay ever since. Looking for some investment property in Scotland - how about a nice farm currently owned by a fromer Beatle? Paul McCartney is reportedly scaling back on his real estate holdings -- his farm in Mull of Kintyre, Scotland is reportedly on the market. Reports say hes told his staff there that their services will no longer be needed after this year and that he wants to discuss new ways to manage the land with the Forestry Commission. McCartney hasnt spent much time on the 600-acre farm following the death of his first wife, Linda, in 1998, and the house has fallen into a state of some disrepair. Macca bought High Park Farm in 1966, and it was there that he wrote some of his first songs following the break-up of The Beatles. Photos of him and his family taken there are featured on his first solo album, McCartney. In addition to Scotland, McCartney owns two homes in England, two in New York, one in Los Angeles and one in Arizona. Looking to broaden your musical horizon?? Robert Plant has some suggestions!
