Tell Your Story (Morning Glory)

Australia's Daily Telegraph published an opinion piece featuring Brian Johnson in which he slams hard on Bono and Bob Geldof for their outspoken activism and charity work, "I don't tell everybody they should give money -- they can't afford it. When I was a working man I didn't want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa. I'm sorry mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done." for the rest of the piece check HERE

A throat cancer scare late last year made Johnson reconsider his time with the band. However, now that it has passed and he is in good health, Johnson has changed his tune about retirement, "Of course I don't want to retire, but I'm telling you if the body or the voice packs in there's nothing I can do" And the band's Australian/NZ leg of their Black Ice tour proves his point. The tour started last week in Wellington and will power through Australia and New Zealand and is already recieving raving reviews.

The third installment of Disney's Pirates of The Caribean saga featured legendary everything Keith Richards as Jack Sparrow's dad. Albeit a short one, Richards' apperance brought the two closer together.

Depp has been open since the begining of the saga about the influence that Richards has played on Depp's portrayal of Capt. Sparrow, the spaced out bucaneer, and also about his admiration for the Rolling Stone. According to an interview with Serbian magazine Politika Johnny Depp is currently working on a documentary about the life and times of Keith. for more check HERE

Last year Oasis was playing at V-Fest in Toronto when Daniel Sullivan managed to get backstage during their set and rushed Noel from behind, who promptly faceplanted on one of his monitors and nearly landing on one of his beloved Gretch axes. Eyewitness accounts (and YouTube!) tell of Sullivan turning towards Liam before being tackled by security and dragged offstage. The V-Fest incident caused the band to cancel the remainder of their Dig Out Your Soul World Tour, and leaving my girlfriend and I up in the air with floor tickets for a show that was rescheduled for the following December.

Sullivan was charged with assault causing bodily harm (among other counts) and has been in and out of court since the incident, battling not only his charges but a $2-mil law suit against him by Gallagher. Civil suit and all, the ordeal appears to be reaching its end soon, as soon as Noel flies to Toronto to personally deliver his victim impact statement.

Gallagher's apperance has not been scheduled yet, and has caused the case to be adjourned until a date can be set. for more check HERE
