Board Approves Settlement Over Neal Schon’s Wedding

November 13, 2015

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A committee of San Francisco supervisors is recommending that the city pay a $290,000 settlement to Journey guitarist Neal Schon over his wedding. Schon married “Real Housewives of D.C.” star Michaele Salahi in December 2013. Schon says he agreed to pay the city $58,000 for the use of the Palace of Fine Arts and an adjacent building, but the price went up to $240,000 a few days before the wedding when the city found out the couple was broadcasting it on pay-per-view. The couple sued. The measure must go before the full board of supervisors in December, and then Mayor Ed Lee must approve it.

Rainn Wilson Says “Mr. Blue Sky” was Supposed to be “The Office” Theme Song

November 13, 2015

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If things had gone differently, the Electric Light Orchestra song “Mr. Blue Sky” would have been the theme song for the TV show “The Office.” Actor Rainn Wilson tells Billboard magazine that producer Greg Daniels sent a list of potential songs to the cast and let them vote. Among the songs under consideration were “Better Things” by The Kinks and “Float On” by Modest Mouse. Wilson says the cast all wanted “Mr. Blue Sky,” but the show “LAX” was already using it. “LAX” was canceled after one season. “The Office” ended up using a song by Jay Ferguson, famous for the 1978 hit “Thunder Island.”

Paul McCartney Gives Insight into “Hey Jude”

November 13, 2015

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s common knowledge around Beatles fans that Paul McCartney wrote “Hey Jude” about John Lennon’s son, Julian. What they may not know is that it’s not entirely about Julian. McCartney tells Billboard magazine, “The only thing about Julian in the song is the first lines.” John Lennon thought the song was about him and Yoko Ono. Is it? McCartney won’t say what the rest of the song is about.

Journey’s Neal Schon Could Get Payout Over Wedding Dispute

November 12, 2015

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will consider a measure today that could mean a $290,000 settlement paid to Journey guitarist Neal Schon. Schon married “Real Housewives of D.C.” star Michaele Salahi (mih-KEL’ sah-LAH’-hee) in December 2013 at the Palace of Fine Arts and a reception at an adjacent building. Schon says he agreed to pay the city $58,000 for the use of the buildings, but days before the wedding, the price went up to $240,000. Schon paid it anyway and sued the city, saying officials jacked up the fee when they found out the couple were offering their wedding as a pay-per-view event.

November 12, 2015

NEW YORK (AP) — The drummer who played on the single version of “Love Me Do” and on “P.S. I Love You” by The Beatles has died. Andy White died Monday in Caldwell, New Jersey, following a stroke, according to his wife. He was 85. White was paid about $7.50 for three hours of work and received no royalties.
