There's something cool about reading that the great Little Richard, 76, also a huge influence to the Beatles, is still gigging. Here's a review from a concert he did this week in the Washington Post. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and B.B.

The more we listen, the more we want deeper insight into George Harrison's world. And left curious, we're pulled back into the music again. The music is and always will be where the best clues remain, clues telling us something about who George Harrison was -- and is."
