Strong sales of the video game The Beatles: Rock Band haven't translated into job security at Harmonix Music Systems Inc., the Cambridge software company that created the game. On Thursday, Harmonix let go 39 of its employees, or about 13 percent of its workforce.

And it really informed The Beatles’ melodies ... So much of what pop music and popular culture became. I recommend everybody go back and look at those melodies and see where they find them today, because they’re resurfacing and being remixed, basically, into new pop songs.

I have been playing music since I was 9 and writing along the way. I met my band about a year ago. Producer David Kahne introduced us and my dad helped. I am currently recording an album. The music was inspired by The Beatles, Nirvana, The Cure, PJ Harvey, Radiohead and all good music.

My mother was born in Delhi and often she used to tell stories about this great country to me and the other three Beatles (especially during the band's initial days at my mother's club Cashbah). And I think this is one reason that prompted The Beatles to visit India in early 1968

Unfortunately, guys, the audience are speaking, and as for your comment, Louis, about this being a silly song - it's one of The Beatles' biggest hits! I honestly think where all of you have been quite mean tonight is he put on a great show. It's called entertainment, and Olly, you are fantastic.
