Rare Beatles lyrics unsold at auction

LONDON - John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for the Beatles' "I'm Only Sleeping" valued at 200,000 pounds ($353,396) failed to sell at a London auction Wednesday. The first draft of the song was written on the back of a telephone bill, the BBC reported. A spokeswoman for Christie's, which conducted the auction, said she was "surprised and disappointed" the lyrics failed to sell. An unheard inter- view with Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, during their "Bed- in for Peace" protest in 1969 went for 18,000 pounds ($31,800), the BBC said. Other items up for bid included George Harrison's banjo, Freddie Mercury's catsuit and an acoustic guitar given to Noel Gallagher by Sony Records in 1995 to mark the success of Oasis' second album.

Stratman71: yeah, that was their dog- now you gotta sing the Jetson's theme song : )

Stratman71: if I was rich, I would have bought it- always been one of my favorites...a theme song of mine, if ya will : )

OSLO (Reuters) - Rock stars Bob Geldof and Bono are among the bookmakers' tips to win the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, alongside more orthodox candidates like campaigners against nuclear arms or a peace broker for Indonesia.

Experts are divided about whether the secretive five-member committee would dare to broaden the scope of the $1.3 million award in 2005 to honour Geldof or Bono, who have campaigned for years to ease hunger and poverty in Africa.

Last year, the committee won both plaudits and brickbats for awarding the prize for the first time to an environmentalist, Kenya's Wangari Maathai, for leading a campaign to plant millions of trees across Africa.

After that mixed reception, guardians of what many view as the world's highest accolade may be reluctant to be innovative a second time. A total of 199 candidates have been nominated for the 2005 award, which can be split up to three ways.

"If the prize branches out to virtually anything that is trendy, it stands to lose the intent that (Swedish founder) Alfred Nobel had -- to prevent war," said Janne Haaland Matlary, a professor of political science at Oslo University.

"I think there are two acute problems in the world -- anti-terror work and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction," she said.

On the 60th year of the 1945 U.S. nuclear bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, she and many experts say an obvious option is to honour efforts to stop the spread of nuclear weapons.

Still, Bono and Geldof have risen from 66-1 to be third joint favourites at 7-1 on an Australian bookmakers' ranking in recent days after Stein Toennesson, a leading Norwegian prize commentator, placed them among his favourites.

ROCK AND ROLL

"If the committee wants to go further this year in widening its interpretation of peace, the prize could go to Bono or Geldof," said Toennesson, head of the Peace Research Institute, Oslo.

Top of the bookmakers' ranking is former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, at 4-1, for brokering a peace deal between Indonesia and Aceh rebels this year to end a three-decade conflict in which 15,000 people have died.

Then come U.S. Senator Richard Lugar and former Senator Sam Nunn, on 6.5-1, for their work to dismantle ageing nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union. The ranking broadly matches Toennesson's.

Others disagree.

"Since the committee went quite far and were innovative with Maathai they would want to go a little bit back to a core Nobel theme," said Espen Barth Eide, a director at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs.

He said that his favourite was the U.N. nuclear watchdog and its head, Mohamed ElBaradei.

Candidates who campaign against nuclear arms include Nihon Hidankyo, a group of survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki or Senji Yamaguchi, a Nagasaki survivor. The 1995 and 1985 prizes also went to anti-nuclear themes.

Or the committee might honour a relief group, like Save the Children or Oxfam, for work after the Indian Ocean tsunami.

In deciding the prize, a problem is the vagueness of Nobel's 1895 will. It says the prize should go to the person who has done most for "fraternity between nations", for reducing armies or for holding peace congresses.

But the committee may be open to new ideas. The head of the committee, Ole Danbolt Mjoes, was instrumental in persuading ex-South African President Nelson Mandela to visit the Arctic city of Tromsoe in June for an anti-AIDS rock concert.

If the iconic Mandela sees rock music as a way of spreading the word about AIDS, why can't the Norwegian Nobel Committee follow suit with peace? "No comment," Mjoes said, adding: "We always use the will as our basis and have a holistic approach.

Annoying

Nirvana: and thanks- now I have a really annoying one stuck in my head!!!LOL

baddessi:

Nirvana: I've listened to 2 different CDs and it keeps coming back!!!

All this googling is making my head spin!

For all of you who always wanted to play an instrument but didn't have the bucks for it, may I suggest:

http://www.datacomm.ch/fesch/musicalsaw.html

Back after a brief interlude of very nearly exactly one year - truimphant German Industrialists Rammstein return with Brand New album "Rosenrot". Originally planned as the lead single for 2004's "Reise Reise", this new album delivers 11 Brand New tracks ( with track 6 "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir ( Don't Die Before I Do )" featuring the velvet tones Sharleen Spiteri from British band Texas ). Sporting the artwork from the Japanese Edition of "Reise Reise", "Rosenrot" serves as the perfect companion to that album, establishing Rammstein as one of the totally unique, innovative ( and hard working ! ) acts in the music scene today.

At last ... here comes the long awaited re-release of the long long deleted second album from Chamber ! Evocative titles, intellectually stimulating poetry, strong melodies, a feel for language, smooth clear voices and a polished professional sound characterise the work found on "Ghost Stories & Fairy Tales". Each track seems possessed with vigour, displaying certain nuances which work well in guiding the vocals amidst the energy of melodies and assured compositions. "Ghost Stories & Fairy Tales" delivers magnificent music for loneliness, invitation to reflection, breaking the shackles of convention with inspired and flourishing harmonies.

He'll sing on ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday morning and appear on CNN's Showbiz Tonight that night. On Wednesday morning (Oct. 5), he'll visit Regis and Kelly, followed by Fox and Friends on Thursday morning (Oct. 6). He will also perform on NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Oct. 11.

Stratman71: Cool Stratman! I didn't know that. Tho country's not normally my first choice in music, I like Clint- he's a native Houstonian

baddessi: Well Country is not my favorite either but I figure if there is even one country fan reading this, I might have told them something they didn't know. Two more shows they can watch, Fox and Friends Thursday morning and Jay Leno Oct. 11. I like mostly all music and I may give it a watch. My mom used to love the country music being from Nantahala, NC so I was really raised on the stuff. lol.

Stratman71: Don't listen to baddessi. She's become quite a fan of country music recently.

You wouldn't dare disagree, baddessi!

Stratman71:

Clint Black

red dragon: busted! I have to admit it's true, red dragon.
Well it didn't used to be my first choice, but I have to admit, I've heard some exceptionally good country music this year. I've been won over!

I have all of Hank Williams Sr. music in CD boxed sets. One boxed set I have has 10 cd's in it. I really like him a lot.

Stratman71:Oh, he was an original, for sure. I always liked Hank Junior alot too, and Willy, and Johnny Cash..Roseanne Cash, Garth...the list goes on...and of course, Lyle Lovett...he's from 'round these here parts. His choir picture is still hanging on the wall at my daughter's school!
Guess I'm more of a country fan that I'm aware of!

I have become a big Country Music fan, also. Its amazing what you hear from the most unusual sources!

I figured that since I now live in Dallas, I should enjoy country anyway. I admit tho, I like the new stuff much better than the old 'Twang' sort of stuff.

Eriisa: Don't you like the old crooning style of country, Eriisa?

red dragon: I'd say that would depend on who would be crooning

How 'bout "THE MAN", Hank Williams SR

Eriisa: Big Country

I love Big Country too... LOL
