L.A.'s Hardfest gets shut down. Saturday night the sold out Hardfest was being held at the Forum and got shut down around midnight. Apparently the L.A. County Fire Department declared it a hazard. Police stepped in around midnight in their riot gear trying to get the crowd out. Some would not go without a fight but nothing escalated. I hope they can get at least a refund.

40th Anniversary of Abbey Road Album Walk
In London 40 years ago today the Beatles first stepped onto the streets of Abbey Road to take the now iconic image. Today Abbey Road was littered with fans singing and taking pictures. Abbey Road is the final album recorded by the band and was released in 1969. Until today I never noticed Paul McCartney was barefoot.
