Dear friends and fans,
It saddens me and the guys in Weezer so much to say that our beautiful, creative, hilarious and sweet friend Mikey Welsh has passed away at the very young age of 40. A unique talent, a deeply loving friend and father, and a great artist is gone, but we will never forget him. His chapter in the weezer story ('98 - '01) was vital, essential, wild, and amazing.

October 9, 2011 LONDON -- Wedding bells are ringing for a third time for Paul McCartney as London is preparing for his much anticipated marriage to American heiress Nancy Shevell! A surprise tent has been set up adjacent to Sir Paul's house as the wedding planners are embellishing it with decorations for the nuptial affair. Paul's publicist has not made a formal announcement about the wedding but according to Associated Press Shevell's wedding gown is a custom Stella McCartney creation. The celebrated fashion designer Stella is daughter of Paul and his first, late wife Linda. Paul's brother Mike is anticipated to be best man and his youngest daughter Beatrice, whose mother is McCartney's estranged second wife Heather Mills, will grace the ceremony as flower girl.

No news yet whether the wedding officiants will include a Rabbi as Ms. Shevell is Jewish; the wedding falls on the day after Yom Kippur. This is Shevell's second marriage, she was previously married for more than 20 years to attorney Bruce Blakeman. The bride has prestigious credentials in the business world, she serves on the board of New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority and is a vice president of a New Jersey-based trucking company owned by her father.

Paul McCartney has always been dedicated to monogamy beginning with his first marriage to Linda Eastman. Linda longtime wife, soul mate and mother of Paul's first four children tragically passed away after her struggle with cancer in 1998. Linda was an integral part of McCartney's band Wings and a muse to his solo musical career. Paul's second marriage to Heather Mills ended in much bitter dissent between the two both publicly and privately.

The eternally young and "cute" Beatle, Paul at the age of 69, continues to tour internationally with a just announced ON THE RUN TOUR, filling stadiums with set lists that last close to three hours and satisfy Beatles and Wings fans. McCartney recently released his latest triumphant album OCEAN'S KINGDOM written for the New York City Ballet!

The Beatles song "Till There Was You" comes to mind for fans around the world so happily anticipating this wonderful day for Paul and Nancy!

E-mail Print PDF

October 6, 2011. Steve Jobs co-founder of Apple died yesterday at the age of 56 after his struggle with cancer. Steve Jobs was a true visionary who changed the world as we know it today with his ground breaking technological inventions and ingenuity. The world of technology and music has forever been imbued with his indelible mark of pioneering genius. The NY Times obituary presents a touching chronicle on the life and legacy of Steve Jobs.

Apple posted today a public statement about the passing of their leader "Remembering Steve Jobs." If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it


Personal Message from OFC:

OFC Official Fan Club was founded based on the tenets of Steve Jobs' legacy - a desire to infuse music and technology. As a person whose professional drive and excitement in life fed from a deep rooted passion for computers, Steve Jobs has always been the definitive champion and luminary of technology. I coded my first pascal program on a Macintosh in 1984 when my father purchased this iconic innovation and my college professor allowed me to use the Mac. The Mac, with it's ergonomically ground breaking mouse and graphical user interface (GUI), went on to foster the proliferation of PC's in the workplace and households.

OFC Mobile debuted last year made possible by the ingenuity of Apple and Steve Jobs

The advent of the omnipresent iPod and later iPhone transformed our culture, society and the world of music. As a youth growing up with a stockpile of scratched beloved record albums that only could be played at home, it was a dream to see the iPod come to fruition offering an endless catalog of music available anytime, anywhere in the palm of the hand. The journey for ever evolving technology was paved by Steve Jobs and I am grateful for the gift he has unleashed that continues to kindle my inner core as a die hard "digit head" and music fan.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs
