Tanya Tucker, Bob McDill and Patty Loveless inducted into Country Music Hall of Fame
As one could expect from a ceremony where songwriter Bob McDill and iconic female performers Patty Loveless and Tanya Tucker are being awarded their Country Music Hall of Fame induction medallions, the event was equal parts thoughtful, reminiscent of multiple generations of the genre's most timeless voices and yes, uproariously uncensored.
For over three hours on Sunday evening at downtown Nashville's CMA Theater, three names were celebrated as being added to what the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's CEO Kyle Young referred to as the now 152-member "unbroken circle of everlasting honor." 9Markus K Dowling/The Tennessean)

The Beatles, beat music and East Germany
The Beatles, who had already enchanted the entire Western world, electrified not only teenagers in East Germany, but also many musicians there, who were inspired to imitate their music. Wolfgang Martin witnessed it all: The start of the Beatles' career, as well as the many beat music bands that were formed in the GDR. Martin was crazy about music. He listened to western radio stations and collected records by beat and guitar bands in the east and west.
