iTunes Users' Hopes Beat Down Again

Q: When will I be able to download Beatles songs from iTunes? A: When I'm Sixty-Four! Yes, we've got bad news for Beatles fans - according to a "well-informed source" who spoke to the Silicon Valley Insider, next week's much-rumored rollout of Fab Four songs on the popular service won't be going through after all. The two parties had been seemingly close to resolving their eternal quarrel over the name "Apple" (the company created by the Beatles in 1967 to watch over their interests), but this news would indicate otherwise. Too bad - all that new revenue would have made a perfect (if slightly late) birthday gift for rights-holder Michael Jackson!And BTW, Happy Birthday to Michael!!! Bitch is 49 years young and Off The Wall is still one of my favorite albums!
Paul McCartney, on the other hand, probably isn't sweating the iTunes loot - even with his divorce settlement from Heather Mills hanging over his head, the ex-Beatle's still rolling in the dough!
