Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones surprised the world this week when he claimed in an interview that The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'—what many consider to be the best album of all time—was a "mishmash of rubbish." Few people could maintain a career after dissing The Beatles, but Richards, regardless of whether we agree with him, has that sort of clout. And he didn't forgive his own band from experimenting with psychedelia, comparing the "rubbish" of 'Sgt. Pepper's' with the Stones' 'Their Satanic Majesties Request.'

Jethro Tull May Be Done as Ian Anderson Releases New Solo Album
Jethro Tull fans might as well buy tickets to Ian Anderson's solo tour. The vocalist, long the frontman for Tull, has more or less confirmed that the prog-rock band has called it quits. It was possible that the solo album from Anderson, the second consecutive record the performer's put out since Tull last released a record of its own, could have been just that: another solo album. Alas, Anderson seems to write the epitaph to his former band in the liner notes to Homo Erraticus, the new album.
