UNDATED (AP) – To mark the 25th anniversary of his “So” album, Peter Gabriel wants fans to take a crack at his “Sledgehammer” video. He’s asking fans on his Facebook page to recreate a scene from that video. The one that gets the most votes will win a boombox and a “So” poster autographed by Gabriel.

SEATTLE (AP) – A Seattle man named Michael Henrichsen has ideas about how he might celebrate his 26th birthday this week.

First, Billy Idol rolls up in a limo and tells him to hop in. There are women everywhere. And later, when the British rock icon takes the stage, 1,800 of his closest friends go wild.

It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. After a two-year campaign, Henrichsen has persuaded Idol to play his birthday party in Seattle on Friday night.

It took a lot of work. Henrichsen got a website, playmybirthdaybillyidol.com; got endorsements from B-list celebrities; and put on concerts dubbed “Billy Idol Aid” that raised more than $10,000 for a food bank and the American Red Cross.

Henrichsen says the party is going to be “pretty much the coolest night ever.”

MANILA, Philippines (AP) – Environmental activists say Sting should practice what he preaches with the environment, and Sting agreed. Sting has moved his concert in the Philippines after environmentalists circulated a petition saying the original venue is owned by a conglomerate that plans to uproot 182 trees for a parking lot and mall expansion. The SM Mall of Asia Arena says Sting himself made the decision to change the site of his December 9 concert. The original arena’s business manager says the venue became “collateral damage” in the environmentalists’ campaign.

LONDON (AP) – Keith Richards says he may not recall the order of events in his life, but he remembers the girls. Richards saw footage from the Rolling Stones documentary “Crossfire Hurricane” and says, “I’m looking at the chicks in the background – oh yeah, I remember them.” What he may not remember is the guys in the foreground. Ronnie Wood says he sat next to Richards while they were watching early footage included in the film and Richards said, “Who’s that?” Wood said, “That’s Mick.” Richards then asked, “Who’s that bloke?” and Wood said, “That’s you.”

LONDON (AP) – Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood is teasing that they could play more shows than the ones they have planned for London and Newark, New Jersey. Wood attended the premiere of the Stones documentary “Crossfire Hurricane” and says he can’t believe how good the band is sounding in rehearsals. Wood says once the wheel is turning he doesn’t think they’ll be able to stop. The London shows are in November, and the Newark shows are set for December 13 and 15.

NEW YORK (AP) – Maybe you won’t be able to hear the changes Jeff Lynne has made to Electric Light Orchestra songs, but he does. Lynne listened to each song about a hundred times to painstakingly remake them for his album, “Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra.” Lynne says the changes may be technical but the sound is different and “much more powerful.” Lynne has also done an album of standards called “Long Wave.” They’re both out now.
