Eurostar Trains Celebrate Beatles

LONDON (AP) - It may not be a submarine, but it does travel 
underwater.

The Eurostar train system unveiled a special Beatles Express 
on Wednesday in honor of the reissue of the band's 1968 
cinematic landmark, ``The Yellow Submarine.''

The brilliantly adorned Express pulled out of London's Waterloo 
station for its inaugural trip under the English Channel and on 
to Paris. The service will run three times a day between London, 
Paris and Brussels until December.

All 18 Express carriages are decorated with psychedelic images 
from the film, in which the Beatles travel in a magical Yellow 
Submarine to Pepperland and liberate the country from the 
music-hating Blue Meanies.

``I think it looks absolutely brilliant,'' said Bridget Hearne, 
55, from Glastonbury, Somerset, who boarded the train with her 
daughter. ``We only booked up yesterday for a three-day trip 
to Paris and had no idea we'd be on a Beatles train.''

Former Beatle Paul McCartney said passengers just may see him 
on the Express.

``I won't go on ceremony,'' he said. ``I'll just show up on it 
one day.''

``Yellow Submarine'' is being relaunched as a home video, a 
digital video disc and a remixed CD soundtrack next week.

The 100 Greatest Women Of Rock 

VH1 will be celebrating the 100 greatest women in 
rock all this month beginning Monday, July 26th
at 9 PM ET. We asked who would you pick and you 
answered. So let's compare VH1's official list 
with what the fans think ... 


1. ARETHA FRANKLIN 
VH1 has never loved a women the way we love ... 
Aretha. 

2. TINA TURNER 
Simply one place away from the best. 

3. JANIS JOPLIN 
When God made Janis, he broke the mold. Rock's

to the blues guitar what her hairdresser is 
to redheads. 

5. JONI MITCHELL 
Because songs are still like tattoos.

Sex, drugs and never-bluer blues. Billie was 
rock 'n' roll before anyone knew what the 
phrase meant. 

7. CHRISSIE HYNDE 
From Ohio she came to save the world from 
mediocrity. 

8. MADONNA 
Is there something more than immaterial about 
the material girl? We think so.

the '80s and declared sisters were doin' it 
for themselves.

The prime weaver of rock's Tapestry wrote some 
of the best songs of all time and took them to 
the stage. The Lilith generation listened.

Plenty of fans for the supposed former infatuation
