This is the mugshot used in the article that I saw.
I haven’t seen a “recent” picture of him in awhile.
He will probably die in jail. Even if he doesn’t, he’ll be very old by the time he’s released. I can’t say that I feel too bad about that.
I'm Necko. I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

Online BBC report on Chapman being denied parole. An excerpt reads
The parole board said the murder of the famous British musician and former member of The Beatles “devastated a family and those who loved the victim”.
“Your release would be incompatible with the welfare of society and would so deprecate the serious nature of the crime as to undermine respect for the law,” the board said.
Chapman can reapply for parole in two years.

And if he does get released (won’t happen, but let’s say something bizarre happened and it did), you know someone will retaliate and do, or attempt to do, to Chapman what Chapman did to John. And the “eye for an eye” mindset really makes everyone blind, so they say.

Okay, here’s a great story Bob Eubanks shared tonight at the Bowl. He produced the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, fifty years ago.
The Beatles always asked for a case of Dr. Pepper on ice in their dressing room. Okay, no problem. As they’re leaving the stage (Hollywood Bowl, 50 years ago tonight), John Lennon says, “We’re Dr. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” And…shortly thereafter wrote that as a song. But the studio balked for obvious legal reasons — the makers of Dr. Pepper would probably want a piece of the album. So John changed it to Sgt. Pepper . But if you listen to the song and think Dr. Pepper, it makes a whole other kind of sense.
Bob Eubanks swears this is a true story. Even if it isn’t, it should be.
Going to the Hollywood Bowl concert tonight! I’ll let you know if anything particularly awesome happens!

Are his claims based on two peoples memories of an event that had happened 50 years previously? I think i wont be holding my breath over this one.

New Statesman, incidentally, is mentioned by Jeremy in Yellow Submarine . “Down the hatch. A quite curious phrase. The middle South Midlands Victorian phase. Its usage undoubtedly on the increase. I must work it into my New Statesman piece.”

Paul McCartney reissues delayed
Production issues will delay the reissue of two of Paul McCartney ‘s ’70s albums with Wings. Venus And Mars and At the Speed of Sound now will come out Nov. 4 instead of the previously announced September dates.McCartney recorded 1975’s Venus And Mars with Wings in New Orleans, Los Angeles and London. It included the single Listen to What the Man Said. The reissue will include recordings from Nashville sessions around the same time that yielded the 1974 Junior’s Farm/Sally G single.
The follow-up, 1976’s At the Speed of Sound, included the singles Let ‘Em In and Silly Love Songs. The new package will include several demos and a version of the song Beware My Love featuring Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.
McCartney’s archival series has won the former Beatle two Grammys already. In 2012, the Band On The Run reissue was named best historical album, and the live Wings Over America won set boxed or special edition package this year.

Fantastic find! I love love LOVE old clips of record stores – always pausing and zooming to see how many favourites (or non-favourites) I can identify (“Pearl”, “Curtis”, “Sly & The Family Stone’s Greatest Hits”! Cannonball Adderley’s “Something Else”!!)
Man, to imagine a time when a record store had actual Kaleidoscope and Juicy Lucy and (who?) Katmandu sections…
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.
