It appears the "rivalry" between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones has been more among fans of the bands and not so much between the bands themselves. Paul McCartney may have fueled the idea of a rivalry last year when he reportedly called the Stones "a blues cover band." Mick Jagger shot back during a concert when he told the crowd McCartney would be joining them onstage for a blues concert. Keith Richards, who calls the former Beatle "a great guy," says McCartney sent him a message that the comment was "all out of context" and, as we reported last week, Paul plays bass on the Stones' forthcoming album.

Many of David Bowie's belongings are getting new owners. Over 80-thousand of the singer's possessions have been sold to London's Victoria and Albert Museum. The museum is creating an archive of Bowie's creative process as a musical icon and cultural innovator. A spokesperson for his estate says with this exhibit, Bowie "takes his rightful place amongst many other cultural icons and artistic geniuses." The archive will be available to the public in 2025.

A Disneyland superfan has set a Guinness world record by visiting the California theme parkjust under three-thousand times in a row. Jeff Reitz started the idea as a joke in 2012, visiting Disneyland daily for over eight years. The park made the 50-year-old an honorary citizen after his first year of visits. According to TMZ, Reitz became known around Disneyland, with cast members even wanting to take photos with him. He hoped to actually reach the three-thousand mark, but was cut short in 2020 when the park closed due to COVID.
