Turning Japanese

Charles M. Schulz lived to see ‘Peanuts’ reach its 50th anniversary year, but not the actual anniversary date of October 2.

Hmm… TV needs updating. A 65″ plasma or ceiling-mounted LCoS projector would do nicely.

Is this the Peppermint Patio?

Why Don’t We Do It in the Abbey Road?

Well, it seems that Abbey Road Studios aren’t up for sale, after all.

Even if it were, Andrew Lloyd Webber promised over $50 million to buy the place.

Meanwhile, Paul McCartney will be playing Phoenix and Los Angeles next month.


Here’s a bit of Paul at the brand-new Citi Field in New York last summer, before we saw him at ancient Fenway Park in Boston.
