Walking down the street, what would you say? Would you try to get on his good side and ask for an autograph? Try to be clever and give him a big "HEY WILLIAM!"...... what would it be?
Also....After I get past Wednesday, I should have enough time to start my project of analyzing every track of LOVE and posting what I think it means. I know, I know, "WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK MELLOW".... But maybe I will find catch something nobody else has caught on one of the tracks? It's worth a try.
BTW, I bet this topic has been made before hasn't it?

I know, I know, "WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK MELLOW".... But maybe I will find catch something nobody else has caught on one of the tracks? It's worth a try. BTW, I bet this topic has been made before hasn't it? I look forward to your analysis of the "Love" project, which I have yet to buy, but I will in April after a project and I slow down..... Now, about your other question----------- Walking down the street? Where do you live? Who walks down the street anymore? It's cars, cars, cars, baby, in America. A nation addicted to cars. We are all addicted in this country, and yes, I am one of them, sadly. Why, I hardly walk anywhere. Except from the sofa to the front seat, and then maybe into the store from there, and occasionally across a parking lot someplace. And not far because I always seem to get Doris Day parking (notice how in all of her movies she always got a space real close to the front door of wherever she was going? That's what we call Doris Day Parking...) Anyway, I suppose if I stumbled across Sir Paul in a parking lot somewhere, in my home town(what ever besides a tour date could bring him here?), in those few yards between my automobile and the air-controlled comfort inside the store, I would, of course, be rather shocked and pleased at the same time, but, having no reasonable point of departure for a normal conversation, I would probably hesitate to speak, as you have to know that he--- like most major celebrities, could probably do without the gushy fan stuff coming from just out of nowhere when all he probably wants to do is quickly buy the same shaving accessories and toothpaste that I am running into the CVS to purchase, then get out fast unrecognized, and zoom back to where ever he is hanging out with his people. Of course, I might smile, nod, or do a little salute of sorts; that kind of friendly acknowledgment you give to a person when you don't wish to crash boundaries or seem a pest--yet, you wish to communicate the sense of respect you have for the person's abilities and accomplishments. I would never scream "Howdy Bill" across the lot in broad daylight, though I might do it late because the night watchman at the CVS just happens to be named "Bill." But no, I think I'd sooner melt down into the hot Georgia pavement than make an unsolicited mention of our various discussions here, at such a meeting. What happens in Las Vegas, STAYS in Las Vegas. 'Cause as far as I'm know, PWR is located somewhere in Nevada. UNLESS it were to happen in New York City, which is where, according to my friend Thera so many years ago, I tend to prance from block to block on cloud 9 as if I have a cocktail glass in one hand and a ticket to a musical in the other. In New York I tend to wax exuberant, thinking everything around me is somehow, "fabulous", and I that have to remember and savor each and every moment before returning home to the comfortable, but dull pleasantness of Atlanta. And of course, upon seeing Macca with an entourage or whatever, I would probably burst forth brazen with, "Ohmygod is that really you? Sir Paul McCartney!! I can't believe it--I am a long time admirer! Loved your Requiem and Chaos and Creation and Driving Ra----say, would you sign this theatre program real quick, and I'll just be on my way, I know you have places to be and I don't want to detain you here ----here's a pen and just sign anything anywhere I don't care but you don't have to of course blahblahblahrambleonandon He has not yet had a chance to get a word in edgewise, and I suddenly realize I am acting like a rude ditzoid maniac on benzedrine, and I immediately get quiet, smile humbly, shrug my shoulders and roll my eyes at my own blathering...when he says to me.......... ....when he says to me.... ...he says to me... ...says to me... ...to........ Hmmmm. Fate will have to finish the story. |

I think this question was posed once at TKIN, but it's a good one. BTW, analyzing "Love" is a good idea, if you are up to the task, go for it! I'm interested.  But for the first question, probably "Hi Bill" is out of the question.. He'd probably give that certain look to his huge security guard and then.. I heard him say on Howard Stern's show that he refuses to buy a private jet, even though he could probably afford ten. So, since he seems rather tight with money, I'd offer to buy him a beer.. ;D Well, maybe a pitcher, see if he gets a little more talkative.. |

Yep and that would be "icks-nay" on the "ill-Bay". |

Hm.. I would just innocently ask for an autograph......... On my copy of "Bill Pepper and the Pepper Pots", that is.....
Ok, so I don't actually have that album.
I have recently been looking at two Beatle related things that bother me. Number 1 is the infamous Mal Evans' briefcase that was "lost" by police. Number 2 is the lack of attention given to the George Harrison attack. Did they ever explain how a lone nut managed to break into one of the best possible security a normal civilian could own? Thinking about it even more, Harrison could have been a potential "sacrifice" to ring in the new year, but he didn't die until Thanksgiving of the following year. Or.....is that what they wanted?
Michael Abram (that attacker, see, most people don't even know his name!), according to his mother, saw John Lennon as a prophet and Paul as the devil. She claims he identified most with Harrison.

And what about Mal Evans' untimely death? Suspicious? No of course not! Maybe that's why it was lost...!
Some very good points Mellow Yellow.

If I met him I'd never bring up the whole thing. That would be assey, and I'm too much of an admirer of his work to potentially ruin his day like that.

Agreed. Agreed. It just isn't uttered.
I'd be too stupefied to remember what any of it was.

Methinks he reads this 'blog' anyway. Probably already knows what you all think of him.
I'd give him a big smile ;D, and babble how great it was to meet him in person, etc.
Oh, I know what you're thinking. "Why would Bill read this board?" My feeling is that if somebody
planted flowers in the dirt, they'd check on them from time to time to see how they were doing.

Indeed. Not to mention, if Paul doesn't check this I am sure that his "people" have found it by now, and informed him.

If I met him, I'd offer him some tofu veggie treats straight from the Imaveggie.com's recipe files, wearing my fur coat. Or maybe "Eat Beef" t shirt...
And offer to show him a copy of "Dancing with the Stars" with Heather's segment played backwards with special "de-fects" bad and extremely cheap effects for those who film on low budgets. Kitsch is IN...

Didn't BeatlePaul at TKIN say he yelled "Hey Bill!" at him, and he turned and looked to see who had called him?

That was a joke, there was a picture of Faul looking at another side (not the side, which John, Paul and Ringo were watching at the moment) and SunKing joked that somebody yelled "Hey Bill" ;D |
