Update: Yoko loses "Expelled" case

Yoko Ono lost her legal bid Monday to stop the use of a 15-second excerpt of John Lennon's song "Imagine" in a film challenging the theory of evolution. Ono had sued the makers of "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," saying they used the song without permission. U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein ruled that the filmmakers are protected by U.S. copyright law allowing work to be used for criticism or commentary.

Anfield Liverpool Sound - 20

Update (6/1/08, 6:18 PM ET) After introducing it by saying, "Here's another place around here," he started "Penny Lane," then stopped after someone made a mistake, then started it again, to the great approval of the crowd. "At this point, we'd like to welcome a special guest to the stage," and introduced Dave Grohl, who guest starred on "Band on the Run and "Back in the U.S.S.R." Grohl left, then they played "Live and Let Die," then "Let It Be." After engaging in a little back-and-forth with the audience, he started into "Hey Jude." (We heard Bill Harry on the radio mention Paul hadn't played "Hippy Hippy Shake" onstage since 1963.) Paul left the stage, then came back with a guitar and sang "Yesterday." The words seemed to ring all too true, considering recent events. Then came the really big surprise -- "A Day in the Life," the first time he's ever sang this one live. He muffed the words a little in the middle, but he laughed it off. Then, he went directly into "Give Peace A Chance," in an obvious tribute to John. We're sure Yoko, who was in the audience, loved this. Next is a rousing version of "Lady Madonna." Paul's obviously pulling out the stops. He then re-introduced Dave Grohl, and the band ripped into the last song, "I Saw Her Standing There."

Update (6/1/08, 11:30 AM ET) From Peter Fitzpatrick:

Hi Steve,

Arrived yesterday for tonight's concert. As we flew over the city we could see Anfield Stadium and the colourful stage setting. My wife & I had booked a table at the Blakes restaurant located in the Hard Days Night hotel. Theme of course is the work of Peter Blake. Guess who was sitting at the next table ? Mr Blake. A couple of folk interrupted his meal to take photos and get autographs which I thought was a litte rude. As he left the restaurant he stopped at our table an apologized (!) as he wanted to point out a particular image on the wall to his friend. We chatted for a few minutes and when I explained that I had not wanted to interrupt his meal he laughed and aske if I'd like him to sign something. He kindly wrote a personalized note on the hotel stationery. Very sweet. He is attending tonight's concert. Must run. I'll send a report from the show.

Regards,
Peter from Dublin in Liverpool :-)
