Lord Have Mercy!

Paul McCartney is planning to release a lost John Lennon song according to reports.

Apparently Macca is desperate to work on the abandoned track entitled ‘Now And Then’ and possibly release it as a single.

A source told the Daily Express: "It has always bothered Paul a bit that they didn't finish 'Now And Then'. Although George wasn't keen, Paul always felt the song had a lot of potential.”

“He is now hoping to complete it, with him singing the harmonies to John's lead vocal. It would be very moving to hear the two of them singing one last time.”

McCartney originally planned to work on the song at the same time as he and the former Beatles we reworking ‘Free As A Bird’ and ‘Real Love’.

Doesn't He have enough $ ?

British music superstars Paul McCartney and Robbie Williams have joined forces in a battle over the United Kingdom's copyright laws. At issue is the fact that under the British statute musical recordings expire after 50 years. The United States copyright law for music is 95 years and that is what artists in Britain want the law to be extended to. This would be a major blow to The Beatles as many of their first hits will expire starting in the year in 2012.

Macca Say It So

It will be interesting to see how the British public reacts to the new claims as they have supported the former Beatle throughout this ordeal.

On Wednesday the gossip-hungry newspapers splashed pictures of 38-year-old Heather Mills McCartney over the front pages after she hired Anthony Julius, Princess Diana's divorce lawyer, to handle her case.

Former Beatle McCartney, with a fortune of about 825 million pounds ($1.5 billion), had already appointed Fiona Shackleton, who happened to represent Britain's Prince Charles in the 1996 divorce.


"Battle Royal" is what newspapers have dubbed the McCartney case, which looks set to be played out in the full glare of the media spotlight. "All You Need Is Hate" was the headline in the Daily Express.

The hiring of identical lawyers in both cases provides a striking parallel.

Anthony Julius, nicknamed "Anthony Genius", was considered by some to be the winner in their first famous courtroom tussle, securing an estimated 17 million pounds for Diana.

The financial stakes in the McCartney case are far higher, with lawyers predicting Mills could win up to a quarter of her husband's fortune, or more than 200 million pounds.

Shackleton, known as the "Steel Magnolia" for her toughness, was credited with securing one concession from Diana, who agreed to give up the title "Her Royal Highness
