**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Adam Lambert BRIAN’S VIEW --- I attended yesterday’s taping of ABC‘s The View, where they had a fascinating and exclusive interview with Brian Wilson and his wife, Melinda. I’ve been really knocked out by his most recent solo album, No Pier Pressure (it’s been immediately placed on my “Best of . . .” music list for this year, most assuredly) and I’m going to see the new movie, Love & Mercy, this weekend about Wilson and his Beach Boy brothers Carl and Dennis. First off, this was the first time I’ve been to the new View studios, located a scant few blocks away from their old digs at 125 West End Avenue. An old-world cavernous studio, if there ever was one. I remember being there, with The Monkees and a Debbie Gibson/Tiffany appearance, and being amazed at the space. I mean, wow, you could have landed the Space Shuttle in there! But, that’s the way they did it back in the day. ...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Adam Lambert ONE MORE AUDITION FOR LAMBERT --- American Idol’s Adam Lambert can still audition for the show like nobody's business! Tomorrow, Thursday, marks the season eight winner's debut as a guest judge (filling in for judge Keith Urban). In the show, Jennifer Lopez gushes about how thrilled she is to have Adam back on board - no disrespect to Keith, obviously. And during the auditions process, Jennifer and Harry Connick Jr. challenge Adam to audition once more. Lambert’s choice? Queen’s signature "Bohemian Rhapsody," which he sang in his 2009 audition (along with "Rock With You"), and the results prove the 32-year-old has still got it. An amazing performance … once again! American Idol airs Wednesday and Thursday on Fox. COOPER SET FOR PEAKS --- If you're looking for damn fine coffee, David Lynch and Mark Frost, the producers...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Adam Lambert HARI’S ON TOUR --- George Harrison wrote the song "Dark Horse" in 1973, and in the following years, the track became something of a theme song for the ex-Beatle: The next year, he gave the same name to his subsequent album, as well as his tour with Ravi Shankar and his new record label, on which Shankar earned the first release. When the the final version of " Dark Horse " was released in late 1974, it featured a total of 11 vocalists and musicians (including Billy Preston on keys) and reached the Top 20 of the U.S. singles chart. Here, listen to an early, sparser take on the song, one featuring only Harrison on acoustic guitar and a few singers harmonizing on the hook. Harrison's vocals, meanwhile, are noticeably cleaner than they are in the hoarse single.  On September 23rd, the song will be released as part of the George Harrison: The Apple Years 1968-75...

**** AMERICAN IDOLS ****  THE QUEEN OF SOUL Celebrity-author Mark Bego, who currently has Aretha Franklin: The Queen of Soul (Skyhorse Publishing), out in the bookstores, commented recently on the possibility of Franklin joining TV’s American Idol: “Aretha Franklin has long been revered as the epitome in the terms of ‘singing icon’ and ‘musical legend,’ so on one hand her volunteering to join the cast of ‘American Idol’ seems to be a brilliant and refreshing idea that would assuredly interpret into ‘press worthiness’ and ‘viewer anticipation.’
