Ack. I just found out from someone on the Paul McCartney official forum that he'll only be signing from 12:00pm - 1:30pm. And the plane tickets are nearly $400! But I'm still considering going just to see him up close and then coming right back! LMAO!

Sir Paul meets fans 07.15 Wed Nov 15 2006 ![]() Sir Paul McCartney received a rousing reception as he mingled with adoring fans at a New York record store where he launched his latest work. Hundreds of people showed up at the launch of DVD 'The Space Within', some of whom had queued for two nights to meet their musical hero. The 64-year-old former Beatle took a break from his bitter divorce from estranged wife Heather to sign copies of his classical composition Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart). Many gripped his hands as he spoke to them and emerged in tears, overwhelmed with emotion. Afterwards they said they had avoided asking the star about the breakdown of his marriage. New Yorker Susan Roazzi said: "I told him that we believe in his goodness and wish he and his family peace. He said 'Thank you very much'. He seemed very warm and responsive." Sir Paul and his wife were catapulted into the headlines when divorce papers claiming he mistreated her were leaked to the media. Through his lawyers, the pop star said he would "vigorously" defend himself against the accusations. SOURCE: yahoo music -------------------------------------------------------- Adoring fans meet Macca at signing (Wednesday November 22, 2006 01:32 PM) Adoring Sir Paul McCartney fans have met their idol at a signing for his new classical album. The former Beatle looked relaxed and laughed and joked as he made a rare public appearance at the Virgin Megastore in London's Piccadilly. Devoted fans from across the world had been camped out since Monday morning for the chance to come face to face with Sir Paul. It was the first time the music legend had met his British fans in person since his divorce battle with Heather Mills turned bitter. At the head of the queue was Joaquin Baltrons, a 40-year-old bank worker from Lloret de Mar, Spain, who flew to London especially for the event. He had with him a leather-bound book he had written chronicling his time following Sir Paul on tour, which he wanted to give to the star. He said: "I've been here for more than 51 hours since 9.30 on Monday morning but it's definitely worth it. This is the seventh time I will have met him. "I've followed him since he was in the Beatles and ever since he left; he was always my favourite. "I want to give him the book that I have written, it is about my life following him on tour. There are many photos in the book and there are only two copies of this book in the world. One is mine which he has autographed for me and the other I want to give to him. It is a Christmas present from me." SOURCE: itn, UK |

Paul McCartney may perfrom in Liverpool LIVERPOOL, England, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Paul McCartney is in negotiations to be the star attraction at one of the showpiece events of Liverpool's Capital of Culture in England. If all goes well, the former Beatle "and friends" will return to McCartney's hometown for a concert in May 2008 at the historic waterfront, the Liverpool Echo reported Monday. Cabinet member for special initiatives, Mike Storey, spilled the beans about the McCartney gig at a private meeting with top accountants. "We desperately want an opening event with Sir Paul McCartney and that negotiation is happening and I tell you it will happen. It will be Paul McCartney and friends," said Storey. Critics of the year-long Capital of Culture have questioned whether the event will manage to attract the right caliber of acts, but the former Beatle's concert would be a major event for the city in 2008. Britian has also honored McCartney by putting him on the list of the nation's top 10 living icons. The list includes McCartney, model Kate Moss, David Attenborough, singer Kate Bush, designer Vivienne Westwood, Alan Bennett, singers David Bowie and Morrissey and actors Michael Caine and Stephen Fry.

Yesterday, the musical Richard Eden, Deputy Editor, Sunday Telegraph Last Updated: 2:22am GMT 24/12/2006 At the end of his very own annus horribilis, Sir Paul McCartney is about to revisit happier times. The former Beatle is planning to make a stage show inspired by his working-class childhood in Liverpool. "It is based on Paul's classical work The Liverpool -Oratorio," explained Kate Robbins, Sir Paul's cousin, who is working on the adaptation. "Paul will approve every note as musical director." For the 64-year-old it has been the year when divorce proceedings began between him and his second wife, Heather Mills, and when, in a legal submission, the model-turned-campaigner accused him of drunken and abusive behaviour towards her. "The project has been delayed by divorce worries," admitted Miss Robbins. Sir Paul composed The Liverpool Oratorio, his first classical work, with Carl Davis in 1991 to commemorate the city's 150th anniversary. ![]() October 1957: Paul McCartney, aged 15, performs with The Quarry Men, led by John Lennon The story loosely follows the path of the musician's life, with the main character, Shanty, who was born in 1942 in Liverpool, marrying his sweetheart, Mary Dee, after the death of his father. McCartney was deeply affected by the death of his mother, Mary, in October 1956, when he was 14. Shanty and Mary Dee are forced to deal with the rigours of balancing a happy marriage and their careers, in the same way as Sir Paul and his first wife Linda – reportedly, the couple spent a total of less than a week apart during their 29-year union, despite their demanding commitments. During a quarrel, Mary Dee reveals that she is pregnant and, after surviving a near-fatal accident, gives birth to their son. Linda was four months pregnant with McCartney's first child, Mary, when they married at Marylebone Register Office in 1969. This was not the first time McCartney's childhood had been the inspiration for his music: his 1967 song Penny Lane was named after a road in Liverpool in which both he and John Lennon were said to have played as children. McCartney's upbringing was far from affluent. At his wedding to Heather Mills in 2002, he referred to its poverty. "Back then, I'd have had a wedding just to get the rice," he said. "My trousers were so thin, if I sat down on a penny I could find out which way up it was – heads or tails." Although theatres in the West End of London are expected to compete to stage the new musical, Sir Paul may decide to open it in his home town during Liverpool's year as the European Capital of Culture in 2008. The Liverpool Oratorio was first performed at the city's Anglican cathedral and starred the classical singers Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Jerry Hadley, Sally Burgess and Willard White. Despite receiving a mixed reception from music critics, the recording proved to be a commercial success and topped classical charts around the world. Sir Paul completed another classical piece earlier in the year, this time not inspired by childhood but by his marriage to Linda, who died of breast cancer in 1998. Ecce Cor Meum – Latin for "behold my heart" – received its première last month at the Royal Albert Hall in London. His last pop album, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, appeared to be inspired by his second wife – and their very public split. The songs seem to include thinly veiled references to his marital difficulties, most notably the bitter track Riding to Vanity Fair. Miss Robbins's involvement in the pending musical, which she is working on with the writer Steve Brown, has been given extra poignancy by the fact that, like her cousin, she is undergoing a difficult period in her private life. The 47-year-old actress, perhaps best known for her work as an impressionist on the satirical television programme Spitting Image, separated in February from the composer Keith Atack, her husband of 19 years, by whom she has three children. Sir Paul has long enjoyed a close relationship with Miss Robbins, who inspired him to burst into song for the first time since his separation from Mills. After Miss Robbins won a best supporting actress award at the Monaco Film Festival this month for her role in the film Fated, the musician sang his congratulations in a message recorded on video. "I watched you grow up since you were a little sproggling," he said. "Now, not only are you talented, you have real heart." Miss Robbins said: "Paul is a real family man. He bought me my first piano and helped me get my first record deal. "We are known as the Liverpool showbiz mafia. In our home growing up, even the sewing machine was a Singer."

I just saw yesterday on Extra, I believe (I could be wrong. I get all those gossip shows mixed up), that Paul may be on American Idol this season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were advertising AI and Simon said something about this season being the "SuperBowl of talent competitions." And then the reporter said something like, "There's even a chance of music giant, Sir Paul McCartney, appearing this year." WTF?!!!! I am completely torn. In some ways I ABSOLUTELY do not want to see Paul do American Idol, but in others, I sort of kind of would... a little bit. What are you guys' opinions? And, did anyone else hear this? |

Hate me, do it and do it again.

Well if Paul says you're no good, you might as well go hide under a rock. Forever. But why he'd be on American Idol, I don't know. |

There have been enough musical legends (and others of varying talent/significance) on the show so I wouldn't have a problem with it. Bob Dylan was in talks to guest star a couple seasons ago (as was McCartney), Elton John has been on it (Billy Joel, too, I think), as have Barry Manilow, Rod Stewart, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Olivia Newton John and Lionel Ritchie. |

My Beatles Trading Post (Updated Regularly) "George had just come off tour, I'd flown in specially from England, Ringo had flown in specially, too, I think, and John wouldn't show up! He wouldn't come from across the park! George got on the phone, yelled, 'Take those fucking shades off and come over here, you!' John still wouldn't come over. He had a balloon delivered with a sign saying, LISTEN TO THIS BALLOON. It was all quite far out." -Paul McCartney | |

Eh, I don't think it's too bad. I don't watch it regularly, but I'll watch an episode here and there. It just suffers from overexposure, in-your-face-advertising, and corny, annoying, formulaic cast and segments. |
