Republicans who are demanding to see visitor logs from President Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home will be disappointed to learn that no such logs exist because none have ever been kept. On Sunday, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer sent a letter to White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain asking for the White House to turn over records of who has visited the Wilmington residence where Mr Biden has spent most weekends since taking office in January 2021. Mr Comer's demand came just hours after the White House revealed that an additional five pages with classification markings had been identified by Special Counsel to the President Richard Sauber when he travelled to Mr Biden's residence to take possession of a single page with similar markings that had been found earlier. "Given the serious national security implications, the White House must provide the Wilmington residence's visitor log," Mr Comer wrote. "As Chief of Staff, you are head of the Executive Office of the President and bear responsibility to be transparent with the American people on these important issues related to the White House's handling of this matter." |

How did Jeff Beck forever alter the course of rock'n'roll? |
Within hours of the news of his death, tributes to Jeff Beck from the guitar greats rang out like a 21-string salute. "Jeff could channel music from the ethereal… his technique unique, his imaginations apparently limitless," said Jimmy Page of this "six-string warrior" and "the spell he could weave around our mortal emotions". Jeff Beck "was punk rock before punk existed," declared The Edge. "The Salvador Dali of the guitar," said Aerosmith's Joe Perry; "an infinite source of joy," claimed Stevie Van Zandt; an innovator, pioneer and profound influence, stated Dave Gilmour, Steve Hackett, Johnny Marr and Joe Satriani. The phrase "guitarist's guitarist", which could have been coined for Beck, had never felt more apposite. But while the epithet honours Beck's groundbreaking virtuoso skills – the liquid lines, ricochet riffs, mystical tones, feedback experiments and innovative techniques that stunned his fans and contemporaries – it underplays his significance and import in the course of rock'n'roll. The roots of psychedelia, heavy metal and jazz fusion, as well as the early influence of eastern music on the west, can all be traced back to Beck's fingers. |
