feet..he told the woman to F**k off and
then rudely refused an interview with a crew that was waiting to speak with him. So much for peace and love Ringo...but it is crazy that the
guy has to still deal with crazed fans at this current point in his career. However, fans made the Beatles, which made Ringo rich and famous...you decide!

------------------ A Harvard Law School professor filed a counterclaim last Friday against the Recording Industry Association of America that challenges the constitutionality of the RIAA’s efforts against those caught downloading music from file-sharing services.
Charles R. Nesson ’60, the founder of Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, is defending a Boston University graduate
student who was charged in 2005 with downloading seven songs from a file-sharing network. According to RIAA spokesperson the
amount sought from th e student is undisclosed and left to the judge’s discretion, though he may face over $1 million in penalties.
The Harvard Law School professor explained his reasons for getting involved are about a private organization being allowed to take a
huge chunk of government power and impose its will upon millions of people. He says the situation is absurd and was never about money but
about creating a scary situation to deter others. The RIAA has created controversy over the past few years with a series of aggressive,
PR negative lawsuits against file sharers.

------------------ Allegations against a Bon Jovi employee, not a member of the band are brewing as a British woman is suing Bon Jovi, alleging that a
member of their crew ran her over deliberately in a golf buggy leaving her seriously injured. It happened while the band played at Milton Keynes'
National Bowl in southeast England two years ago. She claimed that she was working to prevent backstage access after a fire broke
out in the VIP area, and that's when she was approached by McDonnell, a member of Bon Jovi's personal security team. Apparently he was
mad that he could not proceed into the area. Bon Jovi has refused to have any involvement in the incident and McDonnell is no longer thought to be
working with the group. None of the band members were present when she blocked the pathway of a crew member, nor were they aware of any disturbance at the time.
The injured woman's claim in England follows a claim she attempted to file in the United States, which was rejected.

John Lennon's killer has been denied parole for a fifth time.
Mark David Chapman will remain in New York's Attica Correctional Facility for at least two more years. He's been behind bars since he shot John Lennon four times in the back in 1980 outside his Manhattan apartment. Chapman became eligible for parole after serving 20 years of a maximum life sentence.
In a one-page decision issued after Chapman's appearance this week parole board members say that Chapman has had a clean disciplinary record since 1994 but his release "would not be in the best interest of the community."
Yoko Ono, Lennon's widow, in previous years has submitted a letter requesting that Chapman be denied parole. Calls Tuesday to Ono's legal representative have not been returned. She did issue a statement saying that Chapman would be safer in jail--due to death threats against him. She also expressed concern for her family and the general pubic if he is ever
released.
Fifty letters and a petition signed by almost 1,100 people were submitted to the Division of Parole objecting to releasing Chapman. Only three letters were submitted appealing for Chapman's release.
The next time Chapman can apply for parole is in August 2010.

Wilson, TNT, Sony BMG and publishing company J Money Music
over the band's 1991 hit "Jealous Again." The Crowes claim Wilson exploited the track for her own song, "Work Hard, Play Harder," which TNT
in turn then used in ads for its show "Saving Grace." "Work Hard, Play Harder" is slated to appear on Wilson's next studio album, due
before the end of the year. A spokesperson for Wilson had no comment on the development.

Yoko Ono lost her legal bid this week in New York City to forbid filmmakers to use a 15-second excerpt of Jonn Lennon’s famous
song “Imagine” in a movie challenging the theory of evolution. A New York federal judge denied Ono’s request to stop the producers
of "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" using the song fragment in the movie.
Ono claims the movie uses the excerpt without her
permission,
wrongly suggesting that she authorized or sponsored the film.
She also sued the producers before the movie went into wider release,
and she said she would appeal. The other plaintiffs are John Lennon’s sons, Sean and Julian.
The Judge ruled the fair use of a copyrighted
work for the purposes of criticism and commentary is not an infringement of copyright,"

magazine set up in 2004.

According to sources at Geffen (Rose's music label) a version of "Chinese Democracy" has been finished and delivered to the label.
But there are still outstanding issues between the singer and the label, not the least of which is a recording cost for the project which (depending on who you believe), has reached between $11 and $15 million. Another issue is the digital rights for the tracks, along with some proposed "bonus" tracks Geffen would like to release digitally.

Last month while performing with
Velvet Revolver, Scott Weiland told the crowd that they were attending the last Velvet Revolver
tour.
Kinda right I guess--this week Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave
Kushner--the other members of Velvet Revolver--
announced that they asked Scott to leave the band. They obviously plan to replace Weiland and continue
to rock on as Velvet Revolver.
In their statement they said that Weiland gave less than 100 percent to the band and the music, that coupled with his ongoing personal
problems were enough for him to be asked to leave. Not to mention the fact that Weiland is back with Stone Temple Pilots,
and
planning to tour with them, his old band, who by themselves haven't done too much at all since Weiland left.
Seems Velvet Revolver was pretty surprised at the statement and pissed off that Weiland announced onstage in Scotland that the band
was on their last tour--and they have been fighting ever since.
Of course, Weiland, after hearing Velvet Revolver's statement made one of
his own. It seemed that he expressed surprise that the band would
move on without him after he declared the band dead in the water--and went on to say that many of the band members had gone to rehab.
It seems like sour grapes and that Weiland may be in denial as to the weight that his surprise on stage comment about the future of the band has brought him.

Reports surfaced this week Courtney Love went to the LAPD to report she's the victim of a massive identity theft. Word is that Courtney is simply
(and possibly medically) delusional. Courtney Love is claiming that identity thieves got 188 credit cards in her name, stole checks and bought cars. It's been confirmed she did go
to the Van Nuys division of the LAPD to make a report, but it is rumored that the police are not taking it seriously.
Sources say that mentally,
Courtney has been on the rocks and she's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder
-- this might be why the police think the identity fraud is all in Courtney's mind
----------------------- Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week along with

----------------------- Maxim Magazine wrote a CD review for the Black Crowes latest album
Warpaint--only problem was Maxim Magazine did not have the album and did not listen
to the album. The Black Crowes just want to know how a magazine can review an entire album--assign a rating to it--without actually hearing the album.
The March issue of Maxim magazine. The writer--who has not heard the album since advance CDs were not made available--wrote what appears to be a
poor assessment--saying that the album hasn't left Chris Robinson and the gang much room for growth.
The magazine gave the album a two and a half star rating out of a possible five--although neither the writer nor the editor could have heard more than
one song (the single "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution"). When approached for an explanation, the magazine described the review as "an educated guess preview."
The Black Crowes have rejected Maxim magazine's apology for reviewing the band's new album without actually listening to it.
