Keith Richards once shot a golf ball out of a gun - after the unwanted ball had landed in his breakfast, according to a new book. Richards apparently got trigger-happy while on tour with The Rolling Stones in the 1990s, when the band were staying at a hotel with an adjoining golf course. The band's sax player Bobby Keys claims to have caused the incident in his new autobiography Every Day Is Saturday Night.

“The one thing that saved Mick at this point was Dylan,” Mick Ronson’s wife, Suzi, recalls in a terrific feature on her late husband by Garry Mulholland in the new issue of Uncut. She was talking about the shambles Mick’s career had become after he was dumped by David Bowie and his first two solo albums, Slaughter On 10th Avenue and Play Don’t Worry, had both flopped. Things hadn’t really worked out with the Hunter-Ronson Band, either, and you wondered where Mick might go from here when he unexpectedly hove into view as a member of Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue.

George Clinton has lost the rights to four of his songs after being ordered to hand the copyright over as payment of a $1million debt. Clinton owed the money to his former lawyers, the Hendricks & Lewis law firm, who represented him between 2005 and 2008. In 2010, Hendricks & Lewis won a $1.5million case against Clinton after claiming he had failed to pay back their fees but a new court case found that Clinton only paid back $340,000 of that amount. Subsequently, a federal judge ordered that Clinton must hand over the copyrights to four of his songs in lieu of payment.
