WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) – An anthropology professor found a fossil and thought, it’s old, it’s got big lips…Mick Jagger!

Wake Forest associate professor Ellen Miller named a swamp-dwelling creature that lived 19 million years ago in Africa after Jagger.

Its official name is Jaggermeryx naida, which means “Jagger’s water nymph.”

The creature is described as the size of a deer and it looked like a cross between a long-legged pig and a slender hippo.

Miller says she considered naming the fossil after Angelina Jolie, but naming it for Jagger was a no-brainer.

Miller is co-author of a paper that appears in the September issue of the Journal of Paleontology.

TORONTO (AP) – A documentary about Roger Waters’ recent tour has made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Waters says he began working with Sean Evans, co-director of “Roger Waters: The Wall,” about five years ago to update the show.

He says it’s more ecumenical and anti-war.

A fan realized it was Waters’ 71st birthday and the audience sang to him.

Waters graciously acknowledged his age with an expletive.

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) – You use iTunes, you get U2’s album for free. In fact, it’s already there waiting for you.

U2 made the surprise announcement at Apple’s unveiling event in Cupertino, California, yesterday.

More than half a billion iTunes accounts got the “Songs of Innocence” album free yesterday.

Don’t have iTunes? You can get the album the traditional way on October 14.

U2 has a long relationship with Apple. Their 2004 song “Vertigo” was used for an Apple iPod commercial and a special iPod was released with the band’s autographs on it.

The band’s fee went to charity.

As the drummer of Fleetwood Mac since its 1967 inception, Mick Fleetwood saw the group transform from a respected British blues outfit to one of the most successful U.S.-based pop-rock acts ever.

The 67-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer certainly has more than a few tales to tell about his experiences in the group, and will share them in a new autobiography titled Play On: Now, Then and Fleetwood Mac, which will be published on October 28.

The memoir, which was co-written with veteran Rolling Stone journalist Anthony Bozza, will offer an intimate look at the personal and professional triumphs and trials of Fleetwood and his band mates.

Through Fleetwood Mac’s volatile history, which has included lineup upheavals, madness, drug abuse and intraband love affairs, Mick has been there for it all: He’s the only member to have played with every incarnation of the group.

Play On will be released about one month after Fleetwood Mac kicks off its latest tour — its first with longtime singer/keyboardist Christine McVie since 1998.  The trek begins September 30 in Minneapolis and runs through a December 20 show in Tampa, Florida.
