 | Steve Meyer worked at Capitol Records from 1969 to 1983 14 years in National Promotion. During that time, he met all of the Beatles except Ringo Starr. His encounters with George Harrison and Paul McCartney were brief, he admits. "I met John in 1970 and 1971 when I worked for Capitol in New York City. We talked until the wee hours of the morning." |
 | The 1960s mop top is gone, but Ringo Starr is still flashing a peace sign. The former Beatle marked his 72nd birthday in Nashville Saturday by holding a "peace and love" moment at noon. He asked people worldwide to do the same at 12 o'clock in their time zones. |
 | Paul McCartney posted over the weekend on his Facebook page about working with Bungie. The post said, "I'm really excited to be working on writing music with Bungie, the studio that made Halo." McCartney is not a complete stranger to the world of video games, he was invovled in the production of The Beatles: Rock Band. |

The film will be released on DVD, Blu-ray and digital formats on September 11. The home release includes 50 minutes of bonus interviews. |
 | The locals know it as "Beatle Island". It might have been where John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived out their retirement. It was not to be, but the isolated island with which John Lennon once fell in love could now be yours for $380,000 as Dorinish Island has been put up for sale. Yoko Ono sold the island to two local brothers in 1984. |
