Mellencamp, Ringo and Queen – Classic Rock Roundup
John Mellencamp tells The New York Times newspaper that he doesn’t find himself interesting enough to write many songs about. “I can’t believe people want to write songs about me. I’m just not interesting enough that I can write that many songs about myself. I don’t even really know what I’m writing about half the time.”
Queen star Brian May tells Vulture.com that one of the highlights of his career was playing at the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. “My favorite live moment would be standing on the roof of Buckingham Palace and playing my own arrangement of the national anthem. It opened the Queen’s Golden Jubilee and was met with big fanfare. I’m up there alone on the top of Buckingham Palace with a billion people wired in from all around the world. It was completely live and without any kind of safety net. I was terrified. I mean, the amount of fear to face in that situation was colossal. I’ve never quite experienced that again in my life, and I’m sure I never will.”
TMZ says Ringo Starr recently fell on stage at a concert in New Mexico. The fall happened as he walked on stage. Ringo quickly got up and continued performing.
