FOX’s pre-holiday episode of Glee hit all the right notes, featuring several great performances that struck a chord with viewing audiences. Not only did we get two fabulous solo performances in the show’s renditions of “Papa Don’t Preach” and “True Colors,” but Eve was the guest star! Even without all this flash and sizzle, however, the latest episode of Glee would still be its best…and it’s all because of John Lennon.

Apple (the company behind the iMac) and Apple (the record label associated with The Beatles) have finally come to a deal. For a cool $400 million Apple (computers) purchased the rights to feature the tunes. The money will be split between the estates of the group members themselves, the Apple recording label, and Michael Jackson (who owns the publishing rights to many Beatles tracks).

Let’s start to pull this together. American Idol recently inked a deal with iTunes to display contestant songs. The show then magically managed to get the rights to sing the Lennon-McCartney song book for the first time in seven years, and iTunes suddenly has permission to include Beatles tunes in their listings. What wonders cross-promotion can create.
