“Love Me Do” on the 50th anniversary of its release for use in filming a story about the Beatles at Liverpool’s historic Cavern Club, the shop that sold the disc. Paul McCartney was only 16 years old when he composed, in 1958, the [Love Me Do] song. John Lennon contributed to the bridge of the song. With only 18 (different) words and mainly 2 (+1) chords they reached No 17 on the UK Record Retailer charts (end of 1962). No wonder that after a while they were composing No 1 hits.

Jason Statham’s latest film is Parker, in which he plays a thief who’s double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Later, he teams up with the feisty Leslie (Jennifer López), and resolves to get his stolen cash back. All this, of course, is an excuse for our hero to break the noses and generally Statham every member of the supporting cast, including Taylor Hackford, Michael Chiklis and Nick Nolte.

As with many stars who fit the archetype of Neil Young’s “it’s better to burn out than it is to rust,” as stated in his 1979 song “Hey Hey, My MY (Into the Black),” the causes of Cobain’s early death have been disputed by fans – including some speculation that Love may have been involved and belief that he may still be alive, but faked his own death to avoid fame as per his documented aversion to public life.

Deadmau5 critiqued Madonna for stating “How many people in this crowd have seen Molly?” appropriating a bit of well-known slang for seeking MDMA. Deadmau5 stated “your a role model for millions”. Madonna responded “I do not support drug use” and clarified that her comment was in fact a reference to the song “Have You Seen Molly” by Cedric Gervais. Deadmau5 responded to the singer’s tweet by “fair enough, i was just voicing my concerns as i usually do. +1 respect for clearing it up personally.”

Madonna responds “Communication is always best. You should have called me first, we could have cleared it up privately”.  Deadmau5 replies “sure. regardless, just be a little more aware of what you *should* represent at EDM events, and ill watch my mouth.”
