U2′s Adam Clayton Seeking Millions in Misappropriated Funds Lawsuit
From early 2005 to late 2009, U2 grossed boatloads of money from their Vertigo Tour and every-bit-as-massive 360 Degree Tour.

George Harrison Guitar iPad App on the Way
Throughout his career, George Harrison played a variety of guitars, among them a psychedelic-looking Fender Stratocaster, a “fireglo” Rickenbacker 360 12-string and a black Gretsch Duo Jet (which he considered to be his first real decent guitar).

Styx Revisits ‘The Grand Illusion’ and ‘Pieces of Eight’ Albums on New Concert DVD
As 1976 came to a close, Styx was a moderately successful band still breaking in a new guitarist/singer.
