Guitar Hero: Illinois Tries to Reclaim John Lennon's Ax
By Michael McLaughlin - AOL NewsIllinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan gave the Peace Museum a chance -- and now she wants John Lennon's guitar back.

Geek Gods: Devo
By Tony Deconinck - AOL News(July 12) -- Mark Mothersbaugh is telling a story so bizarre that it sounds more like the setup to a joke rather than an actual event he experienced over 20 years ago. It starts like this: a new wave singer, a recently naked TV hostess with large breasts, Michael Jackson and Andy Warhol walk into Studio 54 on a double date. If this sounds weird now, just know that the story ends with Mothersbaugh being catapulted through his hotel door by the TV hostess a few hours later so he could come down off a PCP high. Warner Brothers Records Mark Mothersbaugh, the lead singer of the band Devo, has ...

By Chris Epting - AOL News(July 1) -- July 3 marks 39 years since Jim Morrison, the deep-voiced front man for the band The Doors, was found dead in an apartment bathtub in Paris, France.

'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 ...

Rock 'n' Roll Generation Has Less Hearing Loss
By David Knowles - AOL News(Jan. 26) -- All that loud rock 'n' roll music may not be so bad for your hearing after all. In fact, after compiling data for people ages 45 to 75, a new study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison has concluded that each successive generation is experiencing hearing loss at lower levels than those in the same age category who came before it. Karen Cruickshanks, the study's primary author, monitored the hearing of 5,300 participants over five-year intervals from 1993 to 2008. Despite the advent of arena rock concerts and amplifiers that go up to 11, Cruickshanks found that men saw a 13 ...
