Springsteen Wins Golden Globe, Two New Ones for Lynn, more

It was a good week for Bruce Springsteen as he took him the Best Song from a Motion Picture award for The Wrestler. He had one in the same category at the Critic's Choice Awards earlier in the week. It is his second Golden Globe, winning previously for the song Streets of Philadelphia.


Look for two Loretta Lynn albums this year. The first, due in the spring, is all new material written by Lynn and, according to Reuters, is a traditional sound about modern subjects. The second, possibly out by summer, will be a rerecording of a number of Lynn's number one hits and is being produced by John Carter Cash.

U2 will play Get On Your Boots, the first single from their new album No Line on the Horizon, on the February 17 Brit Awards in London.

A rarely seen photograph of the three remaining Beatles shortly after the death of John Lennon is part of National Portrait Gallery's touring exhibition of the changing idea of family. The photo, taken at Ringo Starr's 1981 wedding to Catharine Bach, shows the happy couple with Paul and Linda McCartney and George Harrison and Olivia Trinidad Arias.

Dan Randall, the marketing man who gave the Fender Stratocaster its name, passed away back on December 23 at the age of 91.

Diane Warren, the writer of hits like How Do I Live, Nothings Going to Stop Us Now and I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, will write this year's Eurovision Song entry from the U.K.
Keith Richards and Nick Cave will appear on the upcoming Marianne Faithfull album, tentatively called Easy Come Easy Go.
Joseph Brooks, who wrote You Light Up My Life and directed the movie of the same name, is a suspect in five cases of alleged sexual assault in New York City. Along with charges, he is under threat of a number of civil suits.
