Imagine iPeace: The Beatles and Kids in a YouTube World
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyHad John Lennon not died in 1980, this year he would have celebrated his 70th birthday on Oct. 9. And a month later, he would have seen the Beatles catalog appear on iTunes for the first time. In one week, Apple sold 1.4 million Beatles songs. "Just imagine that we could live our favorite melodies," Carly Paige of Phoenix sings on "Just Imagine," which she composed out of Beatles song titles. She uploaded the video to YouTube on Jan. 14, 2010. She was 12 years old at the time. Now she's 13. Paige is not the first young female Beatles fan to make a splash on YouTube.

Putting Minorities Onstage: In Politics, Diversity is a Winning Message
By Eleanor Clift - Politics DailyThe latest grievance from the Tea Party nation is how the mostly white mainstream media projects its own flaws onto mainstream America when they report that most of the attendees at Glenn Beck's rally on Saturday were white. The allegation triggers memories of another big event, the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, where there were more minorities onstage performing and being honored than there were in the audience. That was the convention that nominated George W. Bush, running as a compassionate conservative and trying to convince voters that he had moved beyond the ...

Pioneering Weird News Agency Calls It Quits After 30 Years
By David Moye - AOL News(July 30) -- The world is a little less weird today, thanks to the demise of FlashNews, a pioneering news agency that made journalism even stranger than it already was. After three decades of generating offbeat stories for wacky morning radio show personalities like Howard Stern; late-night talk shows like "The Tonight Show," "The Daily Show" and David Letterman; and newspaper columnists with a taste for the bizarre, FlashNews is officially shutting its doors as of today -- 13 days before the 30th anniversary of its first daily feed. According to founder and managing editor Patrick Glynn, ...
'Paul Is Dead' Rumor Not Dead (And Neither Is Paul)
By David Moye - AOL News(June 18) -- June 18 marks the 68th anniversary of Paul McCartney's birth -- if he had lived. Yes, that's right, if he had lived. Because while that old "Paul is dead" urban legend was supposedly killed when McCartney himself did a news conference in 1969 announcing that the rumors of his death had been "greatly exaggerated," an upcoming new documentary is hoping to exhume it -- with the alleged help of George Harrison. WireImage / Getty Images According to a new documentary, Heather Mills, left, somehow inadvertently caused her ex-husband, Paul McCartney's, death in 1966, more than a year ...
