Updates on Julian Lennon and Nelly Korda
Julian Lennon's new album is out.It's called "Jude" because it is one of his nicknames as "Hey Jude" was one of three Beatles songs inspired by him,along with "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Good Night".He is the son of John and Cynthia Lennon.Julian Lennon is 59.*
The LPGA season has ended with the CME Group Tour Championship having concluded Sunday at the Tiburon Club in Naples,Florida.Lydia Ko of New Zealand won the tournament,her 19th LPGA victory.She's 25 now and plans to retire at 30.Nelly Korda,24,finished tied for 10th at -8,which gave her just enough points to finish the season as World Number One in the Rolex World Golf Rankings Women over Lydia Ko.Korda had overcome an illness this season from a blot clot which had to be surgically removed,causing her to miss the season's first major.*

The Rolling Stones;Avril Lavigne;Paramore
I was able to present a bonus track again this week.It is Paramore's richly melodic "That's What You Get" from their "Riot" album.Posted in 2010,the video had 50,333,190 views and and 195,780 YouTube likes as of Thursday.*
Avril Lavigne's lullabye "Hush,Hush" is from her latest album "Avril Lavigne"(2013) and the video is new,posted just one month ago.Lavigne lets actors carry the weight in this one,making a few cameo appearances herself.*
The Rolling Stones' "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" is from a gargantuan 2006 concert on Rio's Copacabana Beach.Surely everything came together there,a genuine high point in a legendary career.The video was posted in 2013.
The Stones had to cancel the Australia-New Zealand leg of their 2014 On Fire tour when frontman Mick Jagger's girlfriend,the prominent fashion designer L'Wren Scott,49,committed suicide March 17.Jagger has returned to Los Angeles to be with his son and three daughters.
The seven concerts had instantly sold out.One of the shows,at the Adelaide Oval,was to be particularly notable.The monumental event was to be a curtain-raiser for the revamped Oval,with 60 truckloads of staging and production.
All the concerts will be rescheduled and fans should hold on to those hard to get tickets.The Stones are working with promoters on the new dates,aiming for an October-November time frame,according to Billboard magazine.*
Australian golfer Adam Scott made a splash of his own with his dominant second round 14 under par 68 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando,Florida.The defending Masters champion is seven strokes ahead of two Americans,Chesson Hadley and JB Holmes,and Italian Francesco Molinari.I don't think you can ever have a big enough lead,to be honest,Scott said.

World Series;PGA Tour;Laughing Kookaburra
The World Series had a travel day Friday as it moved to St.Louis from Boston.The best of seven series is tied 1-1.The St.Louis Cardinals downed the Boston Red Sox 4-2 in Game 2 on Thursday,aided by two hits by Carlos Beltran.Game 3 will start at 8:07 pm Eastern on Fox TV.*
The 2013-2014 PGA season is well underway as the third round of the CIMB Classic is being played at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club,Malaysia.Co-leaders as of the time of publication were Americans Ryan Moore and Chris Stroud at -12.Gary Woodland of the USA and Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat,one of the local favourites,were tied for third at -11.Phil Mickelson is still in contention,tied for eleventh place with four others at -7.*
The Laughing kookaburra(Dacelo novaeguineae) is a fairly large,social and common bird of Australia and New Zealand.It may be found in woodland,park and garden settings and is very tolerant of people,even eating from,or snatching food from,people's hands.The amazing laughing call is a territorial claim mostly heard at dawn and from sunset to dusk.It may reach a very loud level as family units defend their territories.They eat all manner of small animals,including mice,birds,large insects,frogs and snakes,as well as large poisonous snakes on occasion.A popular children's song was inspired by this engaging down under character.
Update:In Game 3 of the World Series at Busch Stadium in St.Louis,St.Louis topped Boston 5-4 on an obstruction call.Clearly it was unintentional and a stroke of bad luck for the Red Sox.As Cardinal left fielder Matt Holliday said,that's part of the game.We'll take it.*
At the CIMB Claasic in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia,Ryan Moore(USA),Gary Woodland(USA) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat(THA) are tied for the fourth round lead.*
