Keith Richards Surgery, plus Apple v. Apple, Stairway to Heaven Backward!, Funny Gadgets, Liverpool FC and Johnny Cash, Neil Young and Barack Obama

• Keith Richards had brain surgery after all. My sources tell me it was gross.
• Apple beat Apple Corps in Corpst.
• Here's some video of a guy who can sing "Stairway to Heaven" backward. Does anybody remember laughter...I mean rethgual? (Thanks to Ektopia)
• My, how electronic gadgets have changed over the years. I miss the 11.5-pound portable phone, though. (Thanks to Slashdot)
• Footballers (soccerers) Liverpool FC have chosen a version of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" as their anthem for the FA Cup. I don't know what that means, but Ian McCulloch sings the lead on it, so that's good enough for me.
• Neil Young and Barack Obama are fans of each other, though Young doesn't care for Obama's rockabilly phase.
