Julian Lennon is featured prominently here this week,with two tracks in the lineup:"Valotte" and "Everything Changes."With Julian,you get it all:the music is in the Beatles tradition,yet it's original at the same time.He was born John Charles Julian Lennon,but his mother,Cynthia,John Lennon's first wife,shortened it to "Julian."This year,he's been releasing 14 new music videos,including "Everything Changes."
Someone on YouTube asked whatever happened to Julian,so now you know he's still working hard on music and photography projects.At age 51,he's still a productive artist.*
The acoustic version of "Everything Changes" which is posted here has a string arrangement and a melody that sticks with you."Valotte" is the title track from his first album,which came out in 1984.*
For me,it was becoming the best songsmith I could possibly be,Julian told CNN.I never leaned on the other Beatles.I felt it was my own journey that I should follow.The only shoulder I've leant on is mum's.She's been my rock.*
In sport,the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions is underway at Sheshan Golf Club in Shanghai,China.After two rounds,Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland topped the leader board with his ten under par 67 on Friday.England's Ian Poulter was second at seven under par,while reigning Masters champion Bubba Watson of the USA held third with his six under.Forty of the world's top fifty pro golfers are participating.

The Rolling Stones;Selena Gomez;The Masters
Tonight's music includes two Chuck Berry songs performed by The Rolling Stones in 1969,plus a recent Selena Gomez release."Carol" and "Little Queenie" are restored archival material from what looks like 16mm film footage.Very well done,because you can't tell there was ever a problem.The concerts took place in 1969.One of the most significant things about them is the appearance of master guitarist Mick Taylor,seen at Jagger's right,who was a new member of the Stones at that time,selected to replace original member Brian Jones.
The Hertfordshire,England native Taylor is considered by many to be the Stones' most accomplished guitarist in their career.He was a full time member of the band from 1969-74,and they were shocked when he quit,partly to get away from the drug problems of that era and partly because of clashes with Keith Richards,as well as songwriting credits he felt he was not getting.Taylor says he always felt he would not be with the Stones indefinitely.He was in turn replaced by Ronnie Wood.
Taylor was a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers from 1966-69 before he auditioned for the Stones at a recording session,having been recommended by John Mayall.He didn't realise it was an audition.He just thought it was session work,but Jagger enjoyed his melodic style of playing.Taylor played on some of the Stones' classic albums,including Let It Bleed;Sticky Fingers;and Exile On Main Street.He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the Stones in 1989.
Rolling Stone magazine ranks Taylor as number 37 on its list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time.After the Stones,he went on to work with artists such as Jack Bruce and Bob Dylan.In 2010,he and Jagger went back into the studio to finish the previously unreleased track "Plundered My Soul" for the 2010 re-release of the LP Exile On Main Street.
Since late 2012,Taylor has been appearing with the Stones onstage again,including every date of their 2013 North American tour and at the Glastonbury Festival in England in June,2013.*
Selena Gomez's "Love You Like A Love Song"(MTV Version) was posted to YouTube in February.It had 493 likes and 23 dislikes as of Thursday,out of 81,603 views.The video gives a nod to her Mexican heritage with a pinata scene among Mexican musicians.There is also a sitar player in it.Not sure what India means to Selena-it is also given a nod in "Come&Get It" that was featured here a short while ago.*
The Masters is underway at the vast,difficult course of Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.As the course continues to dry out this weekend,it will play even faster and harder.American Bubba Watson,the 2012 winner,has the early lead at seven under par,while John Senden of Australia is second at -4,and a number of golfers are tied for third at -3,including defending champion Australian Adam Scott and Sweden's Jonas Blixt.The tournament was conceived as a special event that would capture the spirit of golf.
