If a friend were to ask "How was Paul McCartney's headlining Coachella set Friday night?" My response would be: "He opened up with the Wings song "Jet," followed that up with every Beatles song you ever wanted to hear live before you died, came out for two encores, and also managed to blow up the stage...literally. How was Paul McCartney, you ask? It was insane. You left simply with the thought...
Following his Friday night headlining Coachella performance Sir Paul McCartney will head to Vegas to christen the new bigger and badder version of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's the New Joint. Usually not a big deal, but McCartney and the concert promoters, Concerts West/AEG Live, are trying to break some world records with this April 19th gig. First, they're saying that this one-off gig sold ...

I paid for Paul McCartney's Memory Almost Full. Why? Because every time I walked into Starbucks I was accosted by that "Ever Present Past"'s ididadoodah and it sounded good. So, yeah, I'm a little P.O.ed that the folks in London will able to pick up the May 18th edition of the Mail On Sunday, a UK version of The New York Post, and whip out the album for FREE. McCartney is "notorious for being a...

The Beatles' Paul McCartney wowed the crowd with Beatles tracks 'I Saw Her Standing There' and 'Let It Be'.

First it was the clubbing of baby seals in Canada, now the knighted Paul McCartney is on a mission to stop the culling of kangaroos in Australia. (If you thought that it was McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills that was helping the Beatle channel his inner-hippie, you were wrong.) Seems Macca has a soft spot for fuzzy cuddly things, afterall the guy is a vegetarian. About 500 eastern grey kangaroo.
Displaying his versatility and enthusiasm for good music, Paul McCartney is excited about the new remix of "Nod Your Head" from his new album, Memory Almost Full. The remix was produced by Sly and Robbie, infamous for their collaborations as the Taxi Gang and with Sinead O'Connor on her "reggae album." Sly and Robbie are the top of the game in dub music, playing bass guitar and drums as instr...

The first few seconds of Paul McCartney's upcoming single "Ever Present Past" brought to mind the opening to The Bob Crewe Generation's "Music To Watch Girls By". Very sixties. Paul always has cool song titles from "Helter Skelter" and "Fool On The Hill" to in your face titles like "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" and "Here Today". They're almost always poetic in title alone.Of interesting n...
