Secret Lennon Songs? 11/07/05 . (Direct Hit Promotions) The existence of a treasure trove of unreleased material written by ex-Beatle John Lennon and Bruce Bierman, a covert friend and collaborator during the 1970's, has been disclosed, a certain boon to Lennon fans around the world. Never publicized, Lennon befriended Bierman during 1972 when he was a member of the "David Peel and The Lower East Band," a music group which Lennon and wife Yoko Ono produced, releasing an offbeat album under the Apple Records label. By mutual consent, the friendship was kept private. Bierman enjoyed a comradeship which involved "hanging out, showing John around New York City, playing and writing songs together - just having fun." He continued, "I was sort of John's protégé. He loved that my interest was in learning from him, and not the typical thing... to be seen with him... he despised that," Bierman said. The two wrote several tunes reminiscent of early Lennon solo years and some that sound as if they could have been recorded as Beatle's songs, but never were. Anytime Bierman had shared his relationship with Lennon, dating back to his high school senior year, college years and after, he experienced ridicule and disbelief. He decided to remain silent and enjoy the moment, however long it would last. And, it would last only until his friend was brutally murdered outside his residence in New York City on December 8, 1980, twenty-five years ago. Before then, the friendship became difficult when Bierman moved to Northern California in 1976 to work as a stage sound engineer for the likes of the founders of The Jefferson Airplane - a band called Hot Tuna; The Grateful Dead and its members; and other San Francisco Bay Area based bands. However, Bierman met with Lennon in New York during frequent visits, or spoke on the phone. "There's so much to tell, but the music we shared speaks more than I could possibly say," said Bierman. Depending on interest, he plans to eventually release and perform some of the songs he and Lennon penned together. He said, "If people are curious to hear what I did with John, I'll certainly find a way to share that." Bierman has learned first-hand knowledge from Lennon, his craft of songwriting, musicianship and recording. The website with Bierman's untold story, background information and song samples are located at www.newlennon.com. "I am happy to have finally found the courage to tell my story and share what I did with John, and I am very pleased with the encouragement and kind words I have received. I was in a very difficult position all these years. I just hope everyone will understand my sincerity and my respect for my friend and his family." Previously appearing in an isolated 1991 Billboard Magazine article, where Bierman shared recordings and photos with the reporter, he subsequently decided to hold off pursuing his story until being certain not to infringe on anyone's rights. Documentation of these events also appeared in two Beatles books, "The Beatles: The Ultimate Recording Guide" and "The Beatles Diary: Volume 2: After The Breakup 1970-2000," released in 1992 and 1999, respectively. In 2001, he informed Yoko Ono of what occurred between him and Lennon, and visited with her attorney in New York at her request. Ono subsequently decided not to pursue the matter further. Four years later, Bierman ultimately decided to step forward and tell his story. "I am not exploiting anything, nor am I attempting to profit at John's or anyone else's expense. I think it is appropriate to tell his fans our story and share the music we did together." Bierman, also known as Jon Brulen, resides in Los Angeles, and is exploring options on how to share the music and experiences he had with John Lennon. Concurrently, he has also launched a petition to get John Lennon on a U.S. postage stamp at www.johnlennonstamp.org.

Veggies power Paul's troupe Paul McCartney's chef showed up unannounced at the Whole Foods Market in Omaha - and walked out with 10 shopping carts full of vegetarian food. It happened about 2 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 29th) at the market, which opened in September at 10020 Regency Circle. Tom Marciniak, store team leader, assisted the chef, a Britisher who identified himself as Neil. Sir Paul is a famous vegan, and Neil was buying food for the McCartney entourage. The former Beatle drew a sellout crowd of 16,000 Sunday (October 30) at the Qwest Center Omaha. "No one on the tour can eat meat," Tom said, adding that Neil "told me everyone eats vegetarian food." The chef selected organic produce and juices as well as various cheeses and veggie burgers. He returned Sunday and practically cleared out the store's floral shop. The bill reportedly totaled about $5,000, but Marciniak said he couldn't disclose the amount. He admitted to asking about concert tickets, to no avail.

ANISTON REGRETS INTENSE MEETING WITH McCARTNEY JENNIFER ANISTON cursed her hero SIR PAUL McCARTNEY's timing when the former BEATLE visited her on the set of new thriller DERAILED. The former FRIENDS star was shooting one of the movie's most dangerous scenes when the cast members were invited to meet their surprise celebrity visitor. She recalls. "We were doing a very intense scene with a lot of the actors and trying to stay focused. It was dangerous and life threatening. "All of a sudden we get the word that Sir Paul McCartney is here, 'Would you all say hello?' And we're thinking, 'Of all the days you gotta meet Paul McCartney - a Beatle that you worship.'"

Stringing along with McCartney By ROBERT KINSLER Special to the Register Although thousands of fans will be heading to the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim tonight and Saturday to catch Paul McCartney in concert, Rusty Anderson will have the best view in the house. The La Habra High School grad will be taking it all in from the stage. Since being recruited by McCartney to work on songs for "Driving Rain" in February 2001, Anderson has been McCartney's lead guitarist of choice. He has played with Sir Paul at the Academy Awards, the Super Bowl, the 9/11-tribute Concert for New York City, St. Petersburg's Palace Square and at Live 8 in London in July. And tonight Anderson makes a triumphant return home to Orange County, clearly better known then when he appeared with McCartney at the Pond in October 2002. In addition to the subsequent release of his solo debut, "Undressing Underwater" (released by Surfdog Records on Sept. 27), Anderson is the subject of a full-length feature in the November issue of Guitar Player magazine and has been filing a series of reports on "Breakfast With the Beatles," a radio program broadcast Sunday mornings on KLSX/97.1 FM. Anderson has also been using McCartney's current tour to promote his own CD, making acoustic daytime performances at intimate venues in areas where he is playing with McCartney. "I'm just kind of going with it," Anderson said. "It's not like your textbook case. I'm enjoying the process. Especially when we were out there on the East Coast it was a little easier because I was in the towns and so I'd go and do a TV show like 'Good Morning Atlanta' or one of those things and then the next day I'd play an acoustic set at Borders." Although Anderson typically performs with his band when playing solo dates in Southern California, he has taken a different approach with these recent shows. "I'd go do those (Borders shows) acoustically and the cool thing was the songs on the record translate well to acoustic, where you can strip it down to the melody, the chord and the lyrics, and it works. That has been a kick doing that," he explained. Anderson said just as his skills as a guitarist and performer have improved playing alongside one of modern music's greatest songwriters, the band itself is better than ever. In addition to Anderson, McCartney's long-time backing group also includes drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., guitarist-bassist Brian Ray and keyboardist Paul "Wix" Wickens. "Playing with the McCartney band, we did a DVD that came out that was pretty popular and we were only together a week or two - as far as gigging - when that was made," Anderson recalled of 2002's "Back in the U.S." DVD release. "Since then, we've gotten a lot better, I think, and we continue to grow as a band and it's something you can't really put your finger on. It's interesting to watch; there is no replacement for time." Speaking of time, Anderson will likely be among the thousands having the time of their life when McCartney and company hit the stage in Anaheim this weekend. "Certainly, Paul as a guy to hang out with, as a guitarist, as an arranger, as a singer - in so many ways, ... it's rubbed off on me, and I think the Beatles were a big influence, given that they were the reason I started playing music when I was 5 years old," Anderson noted. "But then on a professional level working with Paul, I've learned a lot about how to deal with the music business world and relationships with people; I think that's the biggest thing. I always see myself as this sort of introverted guy hanging out in the bedroom playing guitar." These days, Anderson rarely gets to spend much time at his Los Angeles home. He was at home this past Saturday when we spoke, but had only arrived home earlier that day after performing in Portland the night before. "It's like a fake home, because I come home for a day or two and then I go back out again," he said. Information: www.rustyanderson.com. Orange Slices The aptly named My Favorite Band proved to be everyone's favorite act when it took home top honors at Best Buy's inaugural 2005 Battle of the Bands. The San Juan Capistrano-based group (singer-bassist Chris Patti, guitarist Justin Malik, drummer Francis Allen, lead guitarist Phil Allen) beat out nine other finalists at a showcase held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood on Oct. 24. In addition to cash and product prizes (including a $2,000 Gibson Les Paul guitar), My Favorite Band won two free days of recording time at Chop Shop Studios in Hollywood, where the group will record an EP. The CD will then be released by Best Buy and sold at all the company's stores in California, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii. Information: www.myfavoriteband.com.

John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth From Robert Fontenot, If you're looking for a coffeetable book about the most troubled of the Beatles and his life, "All I Want Is The Truth" will serve admirably. If you're a Beatles scholar or hardcore fan looking for revelations or new material about Lennon's life and art, however, look elsewhere. Pros This is a beautiful book, elegantly designed. The hundreds of photographs make this an excellent coffeetable book. Contains some elements of John's bio you may not have heard before. Cons Much of this material is out there in different forms already. Although well written, there are no real revelations here. Guide Review - John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth By now, so many books have been written about John Lennon -- whom even Paul fanatics would have to recognize as the most interesting member of the Beatles -- that publishing another one skirts redundancy. However, Elizabeth Partridge, whose previous works include 2003's excellent This Land Was Made for You and Me: The Life and Songs of Woody Guthrie, can hardly be faulted for that; her subject is simply too ubiquitous to withstand deep probing a quarter-century after his death. As a coffeetable book, however, John Lennon: All I Want Is The Truth is gorgeous, filled with tons of beautiful archived B&W photos that bring John back to vivid life while revealing his essential humanity. Partridge's writing also does that, to an extent -- in outlining Lennon's troubled boyhood, dangerous adolescence, overwhelming stardom, and eventual disenchantment, she focuses on him as the sum of his psychological damage. For one of rock's most tortured superstars, it's a legitimate approach. What you won't find here is revelation, however, because Partridge comes to no real conclusions, even if her exhaustive research and compilation does reveal a few interesting if ultimately inscrutable quirks (bet you never knew John was weirded out by the physically handicapped). That makes this book perfect for brand-new Lennon fans, adequate for the casual observer, and largely useless to the hardcore Lennonphile. But as a physical testament to the legend, it's an aesthetically pleasing monument
