Going to McCartney this summer at Fenway. Would not go to see the Eagles if they came. A real easy choice in my opinion.

Is Paul asking for a BJ after going down on his girl?

 
If you have to ask, there is little reason to explain to you why it isn't even close.

Sheesh, a living legend vs. the iggles?????

C'mon Man!
If you have to ask, you should probably skip both and save your money for things you're more interested in. Maybe go see a good rock show in a bar instead.

Well, that's been speculated on for 50 years now. The song was written primarily by John and IMO it is exactly the kind of thing he would write about. People think early Beatles, so it has to be innocent, right?? I Want To Hold Your Hand and all that. Yeah, what I wouldn't give to have followed those 4 guys around Hamburg in the early 60s. My guess is the entire perception of the early Beatles would change if you could do that.

Certainly the song could have another meaning, but if you think this wasn't a wink, wink, nudge, nudge on the part of John, I think you don't know John very well.

 
Great show Friday night. 38 soungs in 2 hours, 42 minutes with not much let up. Sir Paul has an excellent band with him. A highlight was him playing a ukelele on "Something" as a tribute to George, saying that he and George used to fool around with doing Something on ukes back in the day. Other highlights were a balls to the wall version of "Helter Skelter" as an encore and of course the singalong part of "Hey Jude." Sound at Nationals Park was a bit muddy, at least where we sat under the overhang of the lower deck.

Says more about the fan base than the perfomer. A lot more weepers at a Bieber concert.
In 50 years, nobody will be crying at a Bieber concert
And?
You can't compare Justin Bieber to the power and magic of the Beatles. That power and magic exists at a McCartney concert. The Eagles are just another popular group.

Have you cried at a McCartney concert?

Not me. I have seen others, however.

 
Sir Paul Announced a concert at the Wells Fargo Center here in Philly today for June 21.

Will be nabbing tix, one of those guys I must see before time passes him (and me) by.

nota McCartney fan but would see him for the history of who he is & what he meant to music over ham & eggers like the Eagles

 
I don't know how Macca does it but he still does his dead level best to rock out. His band is great. The Eagles have that problem some older artists have where they slow most of their stuff to a slow or mid tempo recreation of the classics and it's a drag. I remember seeing Clapton and I was so stoked in advance... and could have gone to sleep. That's not a problem with McCartney.
