McCartney has confirmed the new album title and artwork for his new album which is supposed to be out on Feb 6.   Paul McCartney – Kisses On The Bottom  It’s basically another covers album with two new McCartney songs. It’s a collection of standards he grew up with as a kid, so presumably it’s [...]

I just watched the Who Is Harry Nilsson? documentary on Netflix instant view (it’s also available on Amazon.com) and I really quite enjoyed it. I wasn’t too familiar with Nilsson other than knowing that he was a good friend of John Lennon’s and and that they got in a lot of trouble together in the [...]

Today I came across this really great Paul McCartney interview with Howard Stern in 2001 (not sure of the exact date, but it’s after 9/11) and I enjoyed it so much that I thought I should share it here. I’m one of those Beatles freaks who has seen and read everything about The Beatles so [...]

Today at 3:30PM EST Paul McCartney is performing a benefit concert which is going to be streamed live on the Born HIV Free YouTube Channel. In other cool McCartney related news, I appreciate that he is refusing to apologize for the joke he made about George W. Bush when he was collecting the Gerswin Prize [...]

Paul McCartney – Good Evening New York City This is a 2CD/1DVD combo (and it’s quite a good deal getting two CDs and 1 DVD for only $13.99) which documents Paul’s three shows at New York City’s Citi Field in July of this year. Citi Field is the New York Mets new field (replacing Shea [...]

My final entry in my “Most Valuable Beatle” series (which except for Yellow Submarine could really be called my Lennon vs. McCartney series.) Before I get to the Past Masters 2 disc let me share my previous entries here: Please Please Me (John), With The Beatles (John), A Hard Day’s Night (John), Beatles For Sale [...]

I’m a bit late to this, but I just came across a Zogby poll of Americans released on September 15th which asked over 4000 Americans (ages 18 and above) who their favorite Beatle is. I was surprised to see these results: Paul McCartney 27% John Lennon 16% George Harrison 10% Ringo Starr 9% Don’t Like [...]
