Justin Bieber was booed at the Canadian Football League's Grey Cup championship game this weekend, The Associated Press reports. The Toronto crowd booed when Bieber was shown on the Jumbotron screen and booed again when an announcer said his name. Bieber later took the stage for a medley of "Boyfriend" and "Beauty and a Beat," and was again met with jeers. Despite the reaction from his fellow Canadians, Bieber was unfazed. "Thank you so much Canada," he said. "I love you."

Bieber also dressed down to meet Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper this weekend, when the singer accepted the Diamond Jubilee Medal while wearing a set of overalls that were half-undone. "I met the Prime Minister in overalls lol," he tweeted, along with a picture. Harper forgave Bieber for his wardrobe selection, tweeting, "In fairness to @justinbieber, I told him I would be wearing my overalls too. #cdnpoli #beliebers."

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
