Remembering George Harrison

I remember that day when 'Dear George', passed away.. I knew he was ill and prayed like mad, ( OK like hell ) he would make it through someway, somehow.. please God! I prayed. I was lying in bed when I heard the news over the radio of his passing. I was deeply saddened.. I was angry. I was pissed. It's been 9 years now. I remember like it was yesterday..whew.
.
Georges's memory will never, fade away. I did get a bit misty watching his vids on Youtubde. His music lives on forever. What a beautiful soul.. Such a beautiful person who gave so much and taught us so much through his music. The message in there.. so prolific and funny...Love you George, you are missed deeply.. You'll always live in our hearts~ some vids below- please have a listen...OK, I've just busted out in tears!

Are You Sirius Radio Geeez~

Wow, trying to win tix to see Macca at The Apollo was next to impossible. For 4 days I tried to score the elusive ticket; only to get a busy signal, most of the time. And when I did get through, the phone would ring and ring and the voice at the end would pick up and say " We Got A Winner Try Again Tomorrow" Lucky for those of you subscribers who did win tix to the Apollo - Sirius event.. It should Rawk!~ It will Rawk! Paul McCartney's Band On The Run Radio is amazing. It runs for 1 month during the holidays. Rare tracks, mixes, mega mixes, The Fireman, Wings, Beatles, solo Macca- some of the best tracks I have ever heard.. Paul McCartney is one amazing singer/song writer.. The very best of radio I have ever heard..

Macca to Rawk SNL

Paul, please, play something new- not your 'Ol Stand By's'. Pretty please? Like 'Paperback Writer'- that sounds ooh so yummy live and the guys really kill this one- with it's extended version, rawkin guitars and drums and vocals...just a thought..I can ask right? ha!

The Gramms

Hopefully you will not be snubbed- Once again, Paul, for a Grammy this year..

It's been awhile since Paul McCartney has appeared on SNL.. far too long in fact.

Macca's - Song choice? Please, Paul, surprise us!!!
vid below, Paul McCartney & the guys rehearsals on the SNL set..More below

Hey Paul, Remember when you were in the Beatles?... Chris Farley

Paul McCartney & Paul Rudd tonight on SNL- NBC 11:30 pm

Yeah, Paul was in a skit. kinda silly, singing 'walking in slow motion' to the music of 'Take my breathe away' - than playin a mini mini mini harmonica` a bit bigger than a thimble; dressed like Mozart ( no wig). Is it just me, who didn't get that mini skit, or?~ ha!

First song~ JET

Second song~ Band On The Run

Perfect vocals of Band on the Run.. So COOL, going to commercial, showing Beatles for Itunes..awwwe

SNL Blew It

C'mon SNL the skits are tired and boring this episode.. Geez, Paul McCartney's is musical guest. Why aren't the skits funny & hip. Like when Betty White was guest host? I won't say anymore but the show isn't that great tonight with the exception of Paul...You could have worked the skits around Macca..wasted opportunity....SAD!

Third song~ A Day In A Life/Give Peace a Chance

At the very end Get Back!!~ woohoo Paul!~ now, that is a surprise- while rolling the credits~ OH great they just fucking cut Paul off- to commercial, while Paul was singing! WTF?!?! Boo- SNL..

Sirius Radio Sucks RE- Paul McCartney Gig!!The Apollo

Oh man- Sheeesh, what is up with Sirius Radio and trying to log onto The Paul McCartney gig\at The Apollo?? I was trying to log in at 6pm and it wouldn't take my log on? WTF? I inputed the correct info. When I logged into Sirius via Firefox last week.. It worked just perfectly fine...So I call Sirius waiting on hold for a long time.. the girl taking my info disconnected me.. So I rang back.. I get the same girl!! I tell her she disconnected me.. she tells me to clear my history and try rebooting.. Are you kidding me? This is taking precious time of a Live Macca Gig!! She places me on hold and I get another person on the fone.. Fuck man!! I log into Sirius again .. It worked fine logging into my account, once again- BUT NOT THE MEDIA PLAYER!!!

Major Fuck up with connections~

A new customer service person comes online " Oh NO, you can't use Firefox use Internet Exployer!!"WTF again?! So it takes forever to launch the browser.. I get on IE back to Sirius Radio webby, log in fine.. I launch the media player and I tell the girl I bet the gig is almost over? I ask if anyone else had called in with troubles logging in for the gig, Yes, she says,we had to help several people log in.. This took a total of one hour~
So what do I get to hear?

Please MPL release this on DVD for us that couldn't listen or have access to Sirius Radio? Pretty please with a tofu wing on top? :):)~

You know if Sirius was giving a gig, celebrating it's 20 million customers with the stature of Paul McCartney
you'd think they would get it together and make sure everyone subscribed could log onto their webby- so everyone could have a decent listen..that blows. Sirius Radio,to be blunt, you suck- straight up~ you
got major Beatles & McCartney followers counting onthis... one off live gig.. First SNL, now Sirius- yaeh, cool- NOT!

So Paul , Yes you Macca, for the 4 tunes I did get to listen to; you were in fine voice,everyone sounded the way they should have .. In tune, On time, Just rawkin!!~Your sound guys plugged ya in just right!~ hahaha~
ahh we hear there is going to be a re- broadcast of your live show~ what at 9pm on the west coast
hopefully, that will happen -without any more glitches?~xx Paul

Macca Rawks the Crowd with Intimate Gig..

edit I accidently posted 101 club - meant 100 club- looking at One After 909 lmao!!

Earlier this week, Paul McCartney, announced, he would be playing a one off, lunchtime gig at The 100 Club in London; before finishing off his incredible Up & Coming tour In Liverpool & London, ending out the year- this coming weekend..Paul, surprised fans with tunes he has never played at gigs ie: Honey Hush & Hitch Hike a Marvin Gaye tune he had played earlier this week at the Apollo theater in New York...

Some of those picked for the setlist below are what you could hear at a McCartney sound check.
( Oh, so intimate ) Paul, played to an intimate crowd of 300 to 350 fans queuing in the freezing snow and rain.. waiting to get in- for those lucky enough to score tix..Paul rarely plays intimate gigs. The last one at Amoeba Records in Hollywood in 2007 where we waited in line for 3 days- than separated by CD stands. So, these gigs are truly special..

He even brushed the hands of some- in the front row- damn!...Dawn & Rick you're lucky to have been there :) Ahh, my friend Danica was there also?!!~ dang-it lol and me a dreadful 7 weeks I've had- and sent home again for being sick.. If I had the money and the time I'd be in Liverpool & London too- sniff- ha!! So, .......how was YOUR lunch?

Notes in News: What's Really Going?! on &Stuff..

Hey people, I know it's been awhile since I have posted.. the entire 'holiday season' I was sick.. Can we just get a few things, off our chest, since I've been away awhile? Well, mine anyways..Someones always trying to get it twisted- in the news media- why is that? keepin it short..

Persons who keep it real and who to watch out for..I high five these- alleged trouble makers below ..
.... :.
Go Ricky Go

Ricky Gervais- he hosted The Golden Globes.. The guy was freakin brilliant! totally hilarious! It was one of the best Golden Globby's ever. NOT, stale and boring.. he was great last year as well...you know it. Can people get a freakin sense of humour? We yawn at these boring award shows; kissing people's asses, so fake and phoney- Ricky G. kept it real.. ( that's why I love BET award shows- not overly censored ) There was nothing mean spirited or over the top on his gig, stop trippin.. Well done Ricky- I applaud you for your genius..You were funny, I laughed so hard. And in these current times.. we could all use some laughs-carry on!~ :)

Piers Morgan- Say What?

Give the guy a break, he just took over Larry King's spot. I like his interviewing style.. People are bitchin about Piers already? C'mon- shut up..If I could suggest a guest it would be Geoff Baker- who is coming out with two new books. Rock Bottom & Beatles Fanthology,,Two Brits, bantering back and fourth.. I believe, that interview, would be dark, fun & naughty- something from two cerebral journalist's :) The British keep it real and blunt honest, something Americans can learn from ., The only one close to this is Howard Stern,  you know it's true..

Keith Olbermann-Losers MSNBC

MSNBC_ freakin Epic Fail by ousting Keith O. The guy was a refreshing talent on the air; speaking to the left the middle and inbetween, to the little guy. against the big guy of liars & pychopaths..I'm gonna miss Keith Olbermanns, Countdown, his skits, his humor, his passion; his passion for getting the truth out to America, on Politics .. life and what the Right & Coporate America fail to tell you.. Do you like to be lied too? I say boycott MSNBC period, who was just acquired by those greedy bastiffs Comacast..I salute you Mr. Olberman for your superb reporting in television journalism.. Worst persons in the world MSNBC...

Geoff Baker Rock Bottom

Former PR guy to Paul McCartney, Geoff Baker to release his first novel Rock Bottom- about a Rock Star & the music industry.. This should be a tasty and interesting read .. I have no details as of yet..Geoff is an intersting person and journalist, without a doubt..you can't help but love the guy and his charm; his flare for writing, that I have always, enjoyed- no boring burnt toast with Geoff- more details soon~ I'm extremely happy for Geoff on his up coimg book...I'm soo looking forward to reading it- Paul Bring back Geoff..

...........................................

As for me, I just had knee surgery. Owww- so I'm off on medical leave.. I'm still out on American Idol.. Liken Steven Tyler - missin Simon Cowell.. It took me awhile to write this post- that's what pain meds will do for you.. I wish you all a happy New Year- and look forward to some Paul McCartney jaunts..this up coming year..
I can't believe the blasting of those mentioned above..why, for their honesty? all super talents in their own right..let's show some support for their, creative genius, and let em be who they are - Real..Carry on gentlemen- You Rock!

McCartney/hb~

Cooper-Williams

been watching the unrest in Cairo- UNREAL~
as we all know, what went from peaceful demonestrations too attacks against protesters; now attacks of western journalist's is appalling.. very upsetting..I commend Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams and others for their bravery; in attempting, to tell the REAL story going on in Egypt.. The world is watching..What does the Egyptian Government have to hide with these attacks on journalists; and protesters..preventing journalists to report the news to the rest of the world; pretending this is not going on-right?- wishing it will magically go away..hoping to sweep it under the rug is - nonsense..We have all seen the footage!-   You might be able to BS a slim few ,, But, Egypt's government cannot BS the rest of the World...

started by a rogue few?
wasn't that a statement by the Dictator himself?
-now going so far as to blame the reporting journalists for creating the chaos- is utter crap.. The images and video confirm the real story- happening in Tahrir Square..It's becoming a blood bath.. It reminds me of the movie Spartacus- The video images are so powerful.. Is this what one has to pay for, for the price of FREEDOM ? OK, I shouldn't ask.   I pray for the safety on those wanting democracy- and for those reporting it..

PRESS RELEASE

BAKERBACK WRITER!

BEATLES EX-PR PUBLISHES

RUDE ROCK ‘N’ WOE BOOK

After a six-year struggle to get it into print, Geoff Baker - former PR to Paul McCartney, The Beatles and Oasis - is finally publishing his rude, racy and irreverent novel about the music industry.

Rock Bottom is Baker’s black-humored but fond satire which pokes a tongue behind the scenes and between the sheets at almost every aspect of the record business.

The first, limited edition of 1,000 copies will be available on Amazon from February 14th, priced £7.99. It will be published by Ragabond Press, a micro publisher that Baker set up with another former journalist, Jill Newton, after the UK’s mainstream publishers refused to touch his book.

Baker says Rock Bottom is ‘a work of complete and utter fiction’. The 400-page paperback romps and ruts through the conjoined stories of a flagging rock star, his demented PR and a blackmailing fan who threatens to ruin the pop idol’s reputation by unmasking a long-hidden sexual secret.

‘The star, Birmingham-born genius Ian Taylor, is not remotely based on anyone I’ve known,’ said Baker, ‘I made him up and he is as fictional as Henry the Horse who dances the waltz.’

Instead of writing about actual people I’ve worked with, it was more interesting for me to create fictional types of that rock world – the musicians, managers, record company execs – and to have a laugh at what fame can do to people and how it can disastrously affect those who work around the famous.

‘But what was of most interest to me was to make the fan the central character of the book; the fans’ feelings are often overlooked in the music game so I made the fan the heroine for a change.

‘Rock Bottom is basically a celebrity love story, but it’s quite sad in parts – rock ‘n woe, we call it. It is also the flipside of The X-Factor, revealing the madness and misery of making it big, so in some ways it’s a cautionary tale for those who long to see their name in lights.

‘The book is also rather rude. We were thinking of having a Parental Advisory sticker on it as the vernacular of the business is certainly not kids’ stuff and as a word search revealed there are 864 f-words in the book those who dislike bad language might be better off reading Trainspotting instead.’

Although Ian Taylor’s genius but mercurial temperament was drawn from Baker’s imagination,

he admits that various journalist characters who play supporting roles in the lurid drama were partly inspired by old pals from his newspaper days on Fleet Street.

‘I’ll be interested to see if any mates from the hack pack that I used to run with recognize anything of themselves in the book,’ said Baker, 54, ‘A number of them are editors now.’

It has taken Baker more than six years to publish his novel.

‘I wrote the original story in three months, back in 2004. I got a leading literary agent and he enthusiastically sent the manuscript to every major publisher – but none of them would touch it with a bargepole. Four years of rewrites followed, my funds ran out and if it hadn’t been for the support and belief of my wife Amanda throughout it all, I’d be rotting in debtor’s prison.’

‘Pissed off but unbowed’, Baker and Newton – an old Lyme Regis school pal - formed their own micro publishing company, Ragabond Press.

‘Jill and I re-met by chance after having not seen each other for more than 35 years. We talked about the book and realized that as she was trained as an editor and a sub and I was trained as a hack, maybe we could combine our skills for the book’ said Baker.

‘So between us we took on every aspect of getting a book done – editing, proofing, type-setting, layout, design, photography, distribution, marketing, PR, the lot.’

Now Ragabond Press, which is based in Newton and Baker’s home town of Lyme Regis, has seven self-penned books in production and is considering publishing other writers.

‘Rock Bottom comes out on Amazon on February 14 and we’re going to take several months to slowly plug it, just like I used to with a rock album,’ said Baker, whose next project is Ragabond Press’s The Beatles Fanthology, the story of the Fab Four told through the memories and stories of Beatles fans.

Yo James Durbin I was Amazed!!!

update below

OK, so I'm watching American Idol.. Than it's James - ( The Rocker ) turn to pick a song from his favorite artist whom he admires - Loves.. And who does he pick? Paul McCartney..That's right What the? Dude are you serious?!! What Macca song is he going to sing?.. Maybe I'm Amazed.. Ok, the kids got 'The Rocker' Voice. Last week he did a Judas Priest - hit.. nailed it . How will he do with Maybe I'm Amazed?

Damn dude, that was freaking great. It Rocked! Like Randy said you "slayed it" My only critique would be; you didn't get to sing the song in it's entirety! I Loved how you hit them high notes with that rocker edge..brought down with the Ooohhh Oohhh Yeah.. in tune on time - perfect. That was HOT! I think Macca would have loved that.. Keep on Keepin on.. Note: Miema, Girl that was Bad! I dug that.....

I'm also Loving Casey Abrams. Dude you rawk hard! Let it Loose Casey -I know you can..

Loving Steven Tyler.. Fuck Man - you Rawk and keep it real.. Steven's fun gotta Love him..and his linguistics...I dig that! Jennifer Lopez .. sweet.. like her.. and Randy Jackson? We LOVE The Dawg!

Below: James Durbins mini performance of- Maybe I'm Amazed - what do you think - more below

James Durbin - Maybe I'm Amazed American Idol 2011

note: Too Many commercials

Yo American Idol ,there are too many freaking commercials.. hate that! Cut it with all the commercials.. I miss Simon Cowell while I'm at it.. ( really miss him )...let them sing the songs in there entirety -not snippets less commercials. Also, The judges are pretty generous with their compliments.. Some of the songs soundes like crap, really - being honest .... the rest of tonight's show? ZZZZZZZZZZZ's

ta

April 6th

Yo James! While My Guitar Gently Weeps - fuckin ROCKED!!! I appreciate your tributes to Paul McCartney & The Beatles - Dude, You have voice & heart!!! Well done~

When Jen Met Macca & Toronto

note: long post

Hey people, remember last summer when I wrote about an amazing trip to Toronto and never finished it?.. I suppose now is a good time as any to finish said post.. link is here - ( for those who need refreshing ) titled: I'm on my way to Toronto a Paul McCartney adventure.. I left off at:

"Hey people, these last two gigs were some of Paul McCartney's best ever! I lost my fucking phone in a cab..& my friend Jen got her arm signed by Paul at the sound check.. what the? I am happy for her.. I wish it was me.. but Jen deserves it!~..I swear, I didn't cry when she walked up to me tonight- me in the 14th row on the isle.. I was shocked.. more, when I get back to the states..~ I have a very very early flight!!"

I had wrote a bloggy post about Jen and her newly inked arm.. and forgot, sorta, about this post giving her the limey light:

That first night in Toronto as Jen and I were in the second row center- we were sweating bullets.. having the time of our lives.. It was hard to get to sleep that night as I was posting on my blog and at McCartney.com.. Very bright and very early, the next morning after what seemed like 4 hours sleep a very loud siren or alarm went off .. It was the fucking fire alarm.. shit, down 20 flights of stairs on a jacked up knee.. damn that pissed me off.. ( What will happen next? ) after the clear signal no fucking fire.. I thought I'd take a nap.. for tonight's gig with Paul McCartney again.. Yeah!

The phone rings and hour later.. It's Jen - we talked about what we would do if were were going to meet Paul McCartney, that day.. Jen had a huge feeling that day she would meet Paul for some odd reason, as today, she was going to the Sound check before the gig.. and what was to happen - became a reality for Ms. Dodge as she held up her sign at the sound check.. Jen had thought Paul had forgotten as Paul,. read the sign and told her to save her arm strength..Well you know -I was a complete mess when she walked up to me and should me ..her....

PAUL MCCARTNEY HAD SIGNED HER FUCKING ARM ONLY A FEW HOURS AGO!!


Jen's PETA sign that caught Macca's eye at Sound check..

The only PETA Thing I had was a Meet Free Monday's tee & a piccie- I wondered around the venue looking for Jen... not knowing Paul McCartney signed her arm!

Shoot -I can't even wear the Meat Free Mondays tee at work ( I did twice ) scroll down for more on this adventure....


Paul McCartney signing Jen's arm that fateful day August 9th 2010 Toronto

Wow! Just fucking wow!! Now, I have known people who have had their parts signed by Paul McCartney, himself.. but this is special to me - for the fact Jen is a dear friend.. and a great fan.. I think this would be the highlight for any Beatles or McCartney fan to have a siggy graph from a living legend who happens to be Paul McCartney: ( I know it would be for me ) I'm personally still in awe of this fotograph- Damn, this rocks so much.. I wish it had been me.. Happy that it happened for you Jen... hugs!! xx Diggin the MPL logo on the trunk - too cool :)


Our Friend Danica with her signed Toronto 2010

But Paul! We LOVE bringing our signs.. We hope you don't mind.. Danica don't feel bad doll.. Paul has past up many signs I have brought to gigs..I know how you feel... I met the coolest cat named Keith Correa at second nights gig a HUGE promoter in Toronto. The Original Kid Rock - as his business card states ..

As always Paul McCartney and his band put on a brilliant show!! Mull of Kyntire was insane! that was well worth it for the flight coming from California.. mishaps and all -and the camera dying of course.. hahaha~ nothing as priceless than seeing Paul McCartney - live - truly..

Girl, left who was sitting next to me that second night.. The Canadians are some of the greatest people out of all the gigs I have attended.. The best gigs are by far - have been the most memorable for me..( Some greats in the states..) by out side the states - pure magic!..

Ha- as always we never want the gig to end.. piccie right of some musicians playing Beatles & AC/DC tunes after the gig.. I had to capture the moment.. me, walking back to the hotel.. Hey Where's my cab?!!!

The following day- I had an early flight to catch.Getting outta Toronto was horrible..Once on the plane my thoughts wondered over the last few days spent in Toronto..

Jen, having her arm signed by Paul McCartney and wondering ( If ever ) I'd get to meet Paul myself?
tears began to trickle down my face - I didn't want to admit it- as I thought Fuck! Paul, I want to meet you too! so many people I know have met Macca- not me..a little luck hasn't happened to me yet.. ooohhh sigh, as my eyes closed for take off on the way back to the states- the music of the past two nights filled my head.. waiting, for my next Paul McCartney adventure.. :)

Maybe I'm Amazed-Contest, Rock The Vote!

Note: long post see Below

Hey people - how are you this fine day? Paul McCartney's been very, very, busy touring South America - with his Up & Coming Tour..with Rockin gigs &; wild fans- with Love in their hearts & music in their souls.. I'm almost green not being able to attend the frenzied madness those fans gave in South America to Paul & his band.

Last year, Paul McCartney, reissued his triple platinum album- Band on the Run offering a First ever competition on YouTube for musicians, singers, & lovers of music- which included a prize of the deluxe album Band on The Run for it's winner.

Macca's offering this competition/ cover contest once again with his re issues of McCartney 1 & McCartney 11 out now! Entrants to make vids covering of one of Paul McCartney's most treasured and well known love songs "Maybe I'm Amazed"

Lots of goodies included in this contest people.. So, if you'd like your chance to vote or make a video of your own version of Maybe I'm Amazed see details below... To vote for entrants you MUST go to You Tube & thumbs up for your video for your vote to count.. Note: I would have entered the competition however, the lyrics are far to high for my vocal capabilities.. ha!

MPL could we possibly have two or 3 winners?!!~ Geez, Purple Melon has a Rockin Cover of Maybe I'm Amazed! They should enter! where are those lads?!

Featured entrants who I Love! ( Both From Canada ) now added Purple Melon 3rd vid!

Emilie- Jeanne Morin, 20 years old, Montreal Canada. I've been inspired by Paul McCartney and The Beatles since my mom knew she was pregnant with me. Paul was there every single day and he still is. I've never been so lucky in my whole life to have found someone like him, I thank my parents for that particular matter every day. See her video below. :)

Next Featured Video below- Lisa Marie

Lisa Marie Glive..30 Residence: Montreal, Canada I've been singing professionally since the age of 8, when I started in a volunteer entertainment group that traveled across Montreal to various hospitals and senior citizens' homes. Prior to that, I was raised in a house where playing rock 'n' roll records was a constant. My parents were baby boomers and my siblings were nearly two decades older than me, which refined the music I was exposed to.

I think Paul McCartney may have been some of the first words I ever uttered. I developed a strong preference for The Beatles, particularly McCartney at the tender age of 3, and remember owning Pipe Of Peace on 45 vinyl and playing it endlessly, which drove my parents batty. I spent my days drowning myself in his music, and slowly began to replace regular speech with singing. I still have cassette tapes I recoded from as young as 5 years old on which I spent the day singing and talking about my hero.
I never let go of that passion, and it keeps me singing to this day. Why The Beatles? Why Paul? Because they resonate love and all things positive in a world shadowed by too much hatred and negative energy. From a young age, I favored beautiful melodies, and Paul was the Mozart of the 20th century in terms of melody.

One of Purple Melon's versions of Maybe I'm Amazed part 2 posted On Fire!! Those lads from London now in LA :)

Paul McCartney Marrying Again

Paul McCartney Marrying Again

Hello people - I have lagged so much on my blog.. needing to update that Vegas post also Macca in New York,, yeah, I know, no excuses right?.. I've been stuck ..OK? Well if today isn't a day of events. John Lennon would have been 71 years old.. I can't picture that at the moment .My thoughts are over shadowed by Paul McCartney getting married again.
.
Speaking of Mr. McCartney, Paul, is getting married right about now to Nancy Shevell soon to be Mrs McCartney, in London the same place Paul McCartney married Linda McCartney over 40 years ago..I kinda like that..
.

OK, here it goes. (as my mind has been thinking about this for weeks ) .am I the only one who is not really fond of these nuptials? sure as a fan of Paul I always wish for his eternal happiness, truly swear by it. why couldn't they have just shack up? I'm for that -nothing wrong with it right?.. I'm not feeling this I don't know why.

Is Paul McCartney in Love with the institution of marriage is that why he's doing it. I'm laughing at myself here. It' really doesn't matter what his fans think in the long run.He's gonna do it no matter what I think or believe.. foto right ripped from the net nice piccie I have to admit

.
The photo above kinda made me misty........................
It bothers me ( as I keep repeating myself here ) I'm not sure why I liked Linda a kind loving soul would have been lovely to have met her. I even liked Heather, met Heather she has a lot of spunk full of life..they Linda & heather seemed like real people- not fake me thinks. For some odd reason I'm not feeling Ms Nancy. sorry.. the newly crowned Lady Nancy McCartney .
.
In New York, at the McCartney gig Nancy, was standing in front of me barely speaking in a whisper saying hello to friends.. I didn't feel warmth generating from her but a coldness..I guess that was what made me sad.. She is tall, very slender, long dark hair who had nice toe polish on a lavender polish as I remember.. She reminded me of a plastic doll if that makes any sense...

I almost said to her - Nancy, as she was standing not even a foot from me facing me
" I hope you make Paul Happy!" but I couldn't bring myself to it.. I am a lover of Love and perhaps it will take me some tome to get used to the new misses..
.
Paul McCartney, might not realize this but his fans feel like part of his extended family. Many of us that he has never met. The only communication I've had with Paul was screaming to and from the stage..ha! So in the end I might be one of the very few minority who is not happy bout his marriage I'll get over it. as I close this post I hear Paul & Nancy have just married walking out of the London registry......just a few moments ago... I think of Paul & Linda walking out of that registry.. aww.

In any event......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!

On The Run Tour - Europe!!

( below Paul's New website details and link below - long post)

.
Who's going?~ who's excited?!!!! Hey people it's November 24th- in the US they are celebrating Thanksgiving ..Other parts of the world, who knows? What I do know is, Paul McCartney is about to kick off the last part of 2011 in Europe.. with his 'On The Run Tour'.. He recently played Abu Dhabi. I for one have no idea where Abu Dhabi is? I'm sure it was great, as ALL Paul McCartney gigs are great and if you have a ticket your in for a treat!
So me, me,.. Lil Ol self will be heading to Manchester on December 15th.. Not ready for it yet; have to get psyched! Life's been happening, distracting me from these up coming gigs and my blog.. For those that follow, please, keep following...sorry for the lag..

"With a Little Luck, God and Macca willing, maybe, I can meet him this time?!! "

wish!!!!!!!

No, Say it isn't so?

Damn, it's so bittersweet as these will most likely be the last two gigs I see Macca in concert . I thought New York, this past summer was my last- however, I got creative and so I AM going- Yeah ME!!! After 40 plus McCartney concerts I am past tapped out.. awww..in car repairs mind you freakin BMW's hahahaha.. I was walking to work and on the bus the other day as my vehicle broke down for the 10th time saying: "Man, I've been half way around the world, seeing Paul McCartney all over the place and here, I have no money to fix; let alone buy a new car"..It was really something to think about as, I continued to walk.. In just a few short weeks I'll be flying to England,, and here I walk, no money in my pockets- an odd sobering fact,,,

I am so grateful of this day that I will be able to go to the UK too see Paul McCartney, especially in Liverpool.. I have not been to Liverpool since 2003 (One of my most favorite- memorial gigs to date ). Last, Macca was in Liverpool in summer and winter in recent years - I could not get a ticket! .This means so much; for a broke ass working girl like me.... so please, stay tuned.. and let's see what unfolds.. Paul McCartney is in Italy Rocking them Italians this week on November 27th.. I'm sure he will be greeted with a passionate crowd.. I must say, I dig the European gigs the best, just sayin :)

stay tuned!!!

will be adding to this post often

Well what did you do?

My 1st few days consisted of trying to find plug adapters for appliances, what a pain in the ass,, the hotel, finally provided me with a few.. it was interesting walking around the Manchester as I went to the right of the hotel and walked to a mall several blocks away .. people were very friendly and inviting and especially in awe that I had flown from the US to the UK to see Paul McCartney... :) people I spoke to wanted to know what the US was like.. I loved the friendliness of the people in Manchester.. I had told several people .. I was going to Liverpool.. to see Macca there also.. residents of Manchester claimed:

I LOVE LIVERPOOL! it made me think of the football rivalry ..ha! not one bad thing said against Liverpool from the people of Manchester..swear!
one thing to mention, the pizza isn't that great .. but when you add the garlic sauce it's more tasty..
is veggie piazza a veggie pizza? well... where's the veggies on the piazza?

Gig Day in Manchester!! Sound check- aaah WTF?!!

I was happy when gig day approached.. I had seen several people whom I hadn't seen in years.. alotta laugh & giggles.. however,...there was an air of superiority/ elitist attitudes. really? FUCK THAT!!! I thought it was my lack of sleep>- Note to self... David Lynch charity gig....NO! Check this, nobody's a better fan than the next person whether you have met Paul McCartney, your self, been to two gigs or 100's ...attitudes really sucked. Embarrassing- Why do people act like they are so much fucking better than the next fan?.. is it money? -

well lets fast forward to the Sound check it's self ...more of that later ... after being searched by security - we really didn't have many problems gaining entrance..the reception it's self was set up beautifully.. hot drinks and pastries.. we hadn't been at the reception area no more than 5 minutes. When Tim from MPL, ( I believe his name was ) announced Paul had arrived early.. it was time to go to the sound check it's self.. we scurried into what seemed like a small arena.. outcomes Paul, and he greets us all!! woohooo..
it's really something to attend those sound checks. each one different.. they were really jamming tightly today.. everyone dancing and having a great time - it didn't seem so cliquey at the sound check..:) Macca reads signs and of course I brought the BLUEBIRD sign . Paul read it I'm guessing as he broke into Bluebird ..There was no dedication this time or change of lyrics like at Yankee's Stadium..this past summer..

I do appreciate Paul singing it... very much. There were two girls from Argentina, sisters who had a banner " Go PAUL -LUV from Argentina"- Paul read it of course.. (I have a banner that large to hard to hold by myself )..than there was Phil with his Christmas hat ..too funny, some fans from Japan, the UK and of course the US ...and one lady who came from Korea..was she related to MJ Kim Paul's fotographer? Paul called no one up on stage during Sound check.. and soon it was over off for a dinner.. I'm forgetting the Sound check set list at the moment...oops~

part two coming soon!

Win A Trip To See Paul McCartney Private Gig LA!!

Geez I have been unable to post for an hour! I know, I need to finish up Manchester & Liverpool please bare with me..
Anyhow, here is your chance to see Paul McCartney at an exclusive private gig at Capitol Records in Los Angeles on Feburary 9th for 40 guests only! You & a friend have a not only one chance to win, but twice... One of the contests is for UK fans ..& The other for Canadian fans..Yep, sad, I know, for us in the US, since we have that impossible radio contest out of New York to be the " 20th nation wide caller"
yeah OK!

one contest consists of buying/ pre-order Paul McCartney's new up coming album Kisses On The Bottom.. The other- a 100 word essay on what Paul McCartney means to you! Seems so much easier than this call in radio contest that alot of us Paul McCartney.com fans have been dialing in for days...sniff

Ok, But what about those links?

oops! sorry, For your chance to win a rare private gig to see Paul McCartney in LA follow the links below:
