Happy new year to all Excellentians out there... keep watching soon for our 1999 recap, including year-end columns from Shane and Dean, as well as the hotly anticipated Excellent 1999 Poll results.

GEORGE HARRISON is in stable condition this morning at a UK hospital following an overnight stabbing at his home. The intruder stabbed the ex-Beatle in the chest before being subdued by both Harrison and his wife, who also suffered minor injuries in the attack. It's not clear at this time whether it was simply a botched burglary or a crazed fan. Great way to kick off a new Millennium...
