The Official Paul McCartney Thread

[Annalina Lennon McCartney]

I love Paul!!! 

[Virginia Abreu de Paula]

Silly? Oh, no! That's Paul!  It looks natural, as he has always been daring. This is the  Paul I fell in love with. I didn't fell for a married ordinary guy.  I was fascinated by a Beatle! And being a beatle was being completely original and sort of outrageous. I can recall so well when I saw their first picture. It was in May 1964. My parents, my sister and my  brothers were in shock. Most people were in shock. They dared to show himselves with long feminine kind of hair. Nobody has never done that before. Today  people may not realise that. It became common. But when they arrived their look caused a scandal! Not only the hair, but the fact they were on suits...Wearing rings, bracelets and high heel boots. They were glamorous! Not glitter, but very elegant and glamourous. They were the first to show their look could also be good for girls! Sort of androginous, though not the way Bowie looked some years later. Anyway, they gave the first step on that direction. They didn't stop. When psycholic rock came they were the most full of colours in the universe or rock. Look at Magical Mistery Tour! They brought light and colour to our lives for boys and girls. Then came Sargeant Pepper's...Those uniforms also in bright colour.  I can remember the first pink suit I saw in my life was in Paul's body during the Mad Day Out photo session. So to see him all glitter in a video is a natural sequence of what he has always done. Just remember they were the first male singers I saw wearing make up. Feminine make up with their eyes surrounded by pencil lines. I saw a picture of them like that in an old Sixteen magazine. Never saw it on internet but there is another picture like that available. They were the pioneeers! They were those who dare! And that was one of the reasons i loved them. I tell you: without The Beatles, glam rock would have never existed. The other reasons I loved them are so many I can't list here. LOL.

Virginia Abreu de Paula, I Agree!! He has always been daring! Yes, "Being a beatle was being completely original and sort of outrageous"! It was the same way for me when my Parents, my Sister, and I saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show on February 9th, 1964! We were in Shock! And I was in Awe!! Their look was so New, nothing like I've seen before! So, I agree with everything you said here!  And when the Psychedelic scene came about they were right at the forefront!! They were So Colorful!! Their look, their clothing and their music!! I Loved it!! Was So Awesome!! Yes, they were the Pioneers!! One of the reasons why I loved them too!! And so many other reasons!! Too many to list!! LOL!  ;-)

Paul McCartney on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - 12/16/2014

[Virginia Abreu de Paula]

I could not understand everything they said. But it's about Hope for the Future, a song I do like. I could see he is not good in playing video game. They shoot on him! How dare them? :) How good to know he will be for Ringo in his induction to the Hall of Fame.

[Annalina Lennon McCartney]

Congrats to Ringo! Paul names his favorite Ringo Starr songs! :) Which are Back Off Boogaloo and It Don't Come Easy. His fave Christmas song is The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) by Nat King cole.

Tonight Show is unavailable. At least for me. What is the other video? I only saw two videos with Paul.

[Virginia Abreu de Paula]

Still unavailable. Too bad I can't watch it. I wonder if it's only for us in Brazil. 

[BeatleBob]

Virginia Abreu de Paula, Sorry the Tonight Show is unavailable for you there!  :-(

Yesterday there was a "Short clip" of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon here? Then the link to Paul's "full" interview on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. I guess BeatleGirl deleted the link to the Short Clip, since she put up the link to the Full Interview. ;-)

[Virginia Abreu de Paula]

Thank you beatleBob. Frustating not being able to watch it. I wonder why. Hope somebody will put it in youtube later. Who knows? 

[Annalina Lennon McCartney]

Oh! I deleted the link to the short clip because I found the full interview. They're both hosted on the same site, so it probably won't play for you either Virginia.

Here's the same short clip on YouTube:

[Virginia Abreu de Paula]

Oh, this works!  Hard to understand. But this short one is available! Wow. Better than nothing. I sent a note to NBC reporting the problem. I tried other videos and all of them are not available...except this short one. Go figure. Jimmy Falton really talks like Ringo! Perfect. Also like John... I have to watch again to see if he was so good doing Paul. I think it was quite good but not as perfect as his imitation of Ringo and John. He could not imiatate George!  I just love Liverpool accent. And I wonder why Paul lost it. I miss the way he used to speak before. Thank you Annalina. Paul has a sutle sense of humor I love. Like saying Ringo is...very famous. LOL   Adding that I watched it again and Paul really started speaking like a scouse for a moment. Maybe they were talking about accent. I wish he would speak like that all the time.
