No Wai!! Thats a cool fact!

That's what I've heard. Paul and Julian were very close.

Quote:

The song, originally titled "Hey Jules", was written by McCartney to comfort John Lennon's son Julian when John Lennon and his first wife, Cynthia Powell, were divorced.

One for the old farts.

70's prog rock band Uriah Heep took thier name from a character in the Charles Dickens' novel, "David Copperfield".

The Ramones song "The KKK Took My Baby Away:

The song was penned by Joey after Ramones' guitarist Johnny Ramone "stole" Joey's ex-girlfriend Linda from him. The KKK reference refers to Johnny's conservative political stance, which influenced Johnny's management of the band in a militant, slighty authoritarian way. Johnny first started to cheat on his girlfriend at the time, to see Linda. When he wanted to see one girl he would claim to visit his uncle in Philadelphia. To add insult to injury, Johnny eventually married Linda, while his relationship with Joey never recovered—even when Joey was stricken with cancer.

Composer John Williams readily admits he took the melody from his movie theme "Born Free" and and turned it around to make the theme from Star Wars.

Frickin' amazing eh?

There are no original members left in Napalm Death

Slash's real name is Saul Hudson.

You can sing the theme from Gilligan's Island to the music of Stairway To Heaven and it fits perfectly and it's funny as hell, but only once.

Aerosmith's first public appearance took place at Nipmuc Regional High School, Mendon , MA in 1970.

Jackson should have to give Paul back his songs by default. Thats like giving OJ back his kids after his wife was killed. It's just wrong...
