Details
An Influencial Life That Goes Beyond Music And Fame
...to all visitors of this web site and
their loved ones.
December 2005 - Monthly Summary: On
December 6th, "Imagine: John Lennon" is issued on DVD.
Amid many tributes to John Lennon
on the 25th anniversary of his death, (at least) 2 U.S. and I U.K.
television "specials" focus primarily on Lennon's killer.
Ironically, the same day, Paul
McCartney's "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" is nominated for a
total of 4 Grammy awards including the prestigious "Album of the Year",
as well as "Best Pop Vocal Album" and "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance"
for the song "Fine Line." The album's producer, Nigel Godrich also
earns a nomination in the "Producer of the Year, Non Classical".
Uncut magazine's current
"Legends" issue celebrates the life and work of John Lennon. The 148
page issue features a forward by Julian Lennon, interviews with Cynthia
Lennon, Yoko Ono and May Pang, and many other features and photographs.
Paul McCartney's "All Access"
Radio Special airs from December 15th, 2005 to January 15, 2006. The
radio special highlights McCartney's 2005 "U.S." tour including
backstage footage, soundchecks and more.
Paul McCartney's "Chaos and
Creation in the Backyard" is #23 in Rolling Stone Magazine's "Top 50
albums of 2005".
On December 17th, formal legal
papers were filed in which The Beatles sue EMI over $62 million in
disputed royalties dating back to 1962.
On December 21st, Ringo Starr and
Barbara Bach attend celebrations for the civil ceremony of Elton John
and David Furnish in Windsor, southern England.
As expected, Paul McCartney's "U.S." tour ranks as one of the top
grossing tours of 2005, while Beatles albums such as "Revolver" and
"Sgt. Pepper" and solo tracks like John Lennon's "Imagine" top many
year end polls.

Chaos And Creation In The Back
Yard’ was a return to the basics for McCartney. The album successfully
fuses his undeniable song writing talents with his unparalleled
musicianship. In fact, McCartney is credited with playing the majority
of the instruments on the album, which is somewhat reminiscent of
“McCartney” (1970) when he was credited with playing all of the
instruments. They include the drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, as well
as many of the less traditional instruments such as block flute,
harmonium and flugelhorn. The album was received with worldwide acclaim
by critics and fans alike, hailing it as one of his finest albums ever.
"McCartney continues to surprise.
Top notch, moody, brimming with melodic delights." Billboard Magazine
"****. “The tingling sense of a
new beginning is palpable. His voice is front and center, as wistful
and full of yearning as ever, effortlessly lending these songs a rich
sense of emotional conviction. Chaos seduces the listener into a
playful world of musical ideas that shimmer and disappear. Rolling
Stone Magazine
"****. 'Chaos' ranks among his
best albums in years. An intimate, homemade feel from start to finish.
Newhouse NewsWire

In The Clouds Book
Imagine a land where all the
animals are free...To the creatures of the woodland, the land of
Animalia sounds like a dream - a tropical island where all the animals
live in harmony. They are over-shadowed by a much more evil community;
the polluted Megatropolis, whose dirty skyscrapers block the horizon.
And then one day, Wirral the
Squirrel's woodland is destroyed by developers and he is thrown into
the nightmare world of Megatropolis. But Wirral believes in Animalia
and he joins with Froggo, a world-class amphibian balloonist, and
Wilhamina, a girl squirrel, to lead the enslaved animals of the city to
a new life.
So begins an exciting adventure
through the mean streets of Megatropolis, over the sea and through the
sky. But can Wirral defend Animalia against the wicked Gretsch, who is
determined to destroy it once and for all?
Developed out of an exceptional
fusion of creative talents, this story explodes on to every page. The
plot is fast, furious and funny; the illustrations are full of rich
depth and colour and the characters live on long after you have turned
the final page. It will delight children of all ages and is sure to
become an enduring classic.

Press Release: McCartney Earns
Three Grammy Nods for Critically Hailed 'Chaos And Creation In The
Backyard'
LOS ANGELES,
Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Paul McCartney earned three Grammy nominations
today for his recently released, critically acclaimed album, "Chaos And
Creation In The Backyard." With nominations for Album Of The Year, Best
Male Pop Vocal Performance, for the album's first single "Fine Line,"
and Best Pop Vocal Album, (as well as a Producer Of The Year nod for
Nigel Godrich) McCartney's "Chaos" stands as one of the most nominated
albums of the year.
"It's always
great to be recognized for your work," said McCartney, who recently
completed his sold-out, 37-city, "US Tour" of America. "We're very
proud of the album, the reception it's had and I'm chuffed for Nigel.
It was a great album to make. And seeing as I've never actually won a
Grammy for my post-Wings work, it's pretty exciting to think it might
happen."
"Chaos And
Creation In The Back Yard" is McCartney's 20th studio recording since
The Beatles. Upon its release this past September, which marked the end
to a nearly four year studio hiatus for McCartney, the recording was
met with unprecedented universal critically praise. The comparisons to
"Chaos," were made at the time, many pointing out similarities to
"McCartney," as well as to the Beatles "White Album."

Premiere
Radio Networks: McCartney - All Access Radio Special - to air December
15 to January 15.
When Paul McCartney gave Premiere
Radio Networks exclusive access to his 2005 US tour, Sal Cirrincione,
Senior Director of Rock Programming and Specials, shadowed the
superstar -- en route to shows, backstage, at soundcheck and more. The
results of this unprecedented access can be heard in a two-hour special
that takes listeners behind the scenes of one of the year's biggest
rock tours.
In talking about the special
McCartney says, "It's good to have an opportunity to do something for
radio. I love radio. Your imagination can go wild because you haven't
got the picture, so you have to fill it in and work a little with your
imagination. When this opportunity came up to do an all access radio
show I thought, 'If I was just someone at home that could be really
interesting.' You get to be in all these little corners and nooks and
crannies that people normally aren't in and witness the atmosphere of
the tour."
In addition to comments by
McCartney, his band and his staff, the show presents exclusive live
recordings from the tour.
This broadcast will air on rock,
classic rock, triple a and oldies stations across the country from
December 15th through January 15th. (radio station listing will link
will be posted)
