Subject: NEWS OF THE WORLD -see ya

NEWS OF THE WORLD is gone for good - a "muckraking British paper" according to the NY Daily News, as a "steady escalating backlash struck the paper" as a result of their illegal hacking into cell phones.

Not surprising.

Many of you older folk on this site may recall that the Stones (with Brian, of course) played one of their first gigs at Battersea Park, a benefit sponsored by News of the World. 1962 or 1963, I can't recall. But I don't beleive they had signed a recording contract yet.

Of course, News Of The World paid the lads back by instigating and setting them up (Brian, Mick and Keith) in the infamous 1967 drug busts that threatened to end the Stones career right then and there.

Surely, Jagger and Richards are celebrating this news; undoubtedly Brian would be quite content as well at this turn of events.
