Everybody Is Wrong: The Beatles

Arguments are fun, aren't they? Who wants rational civilised conversation when you can simply bellow polarised points of view at each other?

hecklerspray certainly doesn't. And that's why Wednesday brings our weekly dose of Everybody Is Wrong - a feature in which we take something or someone widely heralded as being 'amazing' and flick bogies at them from the back of the classroom.

This week we're taking a look at scouse moptop popbots The Beatles.

Games That Time Forgot – Road Rash

When you're young, some things seem so damn cool. Like Americans. And motorbikes. And high speed chainfights. Obviously, once you grow up, these things lose their lustre a little.

Star Trek Scotty In Bizarre Birthplace Row

Usually, the summer's a funny time for news. Not a lot actually happens, so any old rubbish gets in the papers. It's a bit different this year, what with all the explosions and shootings. But some traditionally weird summer news has hearteningly turned up.

It concerns James Doohan, the recently-deceased Star Trek actor. There are four towns that want to erect memorials to Scotty, because they all claim they were his real birthplace. Even though he's not going to be born until the year 2222. And he's fictional.

SLACKERJACK – Star Chemistry

The thing we like best about the game Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon is that Kev seems to get really cross whenever it's mentioned. He can't understand why it's him that gets picked on, and not any other actors. He doesn't understand that "Kevin Bacon" sounds a little bit like "Separation".

Blue Were Filthy Little Mimers

We wept like little girls when this came through on the wire. Blue, the most extraordinary pop band of the last thirty years, used to mime on their records. Lee Ryan, you swine, you’ve killed the dream for all of us.

Lee Ryan (CDs) used to be in Blue. He currently sits, trousers round his ankles, at number nine in The Chart with his debut single Army of Lovers.

"The satisfaction in the job had gone and doing it for the money was too shallow," he admitted.

"The reason I left Blue was that I wasn't giving it my all or concentrating on it, I believed I should have been giving it 100%".

Mick Jagger’s Latest Release – His Old Police Records

Mick Jagger has been called lots of things in the past, but "an intelligent young man" wouldn't seem like most people's first choice. Intelligent? Young? What kind of idiot would ever call him that?

Well, the police, apparently, according to newly released police records regarding a raid on Mick Jagger's London apartment in 1969.
