Match the liver spots and perhaps you may be on to something.
Not joking, he's much older than we have been told. And age spots would be a give a way, unless he bleaches those spots.

The Jonas Brothers, Faith Hill, Stevie Wonder and Jerry Seinfeld will be part of an all-star line-up that will honour McCartney when he receives the third Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the Library of Congress in the White House’s East Room. Jack White, Dave Grohl, Emmylou Harris and Elvis Costello will also be part of the festivities on 2 June (10)) Paul Simon and Wonder are past Gershwin Prize winners. McCartney treated fans to a 30-minute webchat on Thursday (20May10), during which he talked about upcoming Wings remasters and answered questions posted by followers. But it was a coy comment as he signed off that had watchers scratching their heads. He said, “There’s been some rumours and I think we can give you a clue. Think White House. Think playing… If there is an announcement mentioning the White House, remember where you heard it first.”

Paul McCartney's tour bus attacked in Mexico 2010-06-01 18:30:00 Singer Paul McCartney was left shaken when a mob attacked his tour bus while he was returning from a concert in Mexico. The incident took place Saturday when the 67-year-old was returning after performing at the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City. He had to be rescued by police after the youths surrounded his vehicle. 'At first, his security team thought it was just swarms of fans, but when people started scaling the bus, the situation changed in a flash. Paul and the team were shaken up,' contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying. According to reports, the troublemakers left the scene as soon as they heard police sirens.

Apparently it is a Republican "whining point" for radio talk show hosts today that Sir Faul had the audacity to tell a joke while he was at the White House which suggested that perhaps Bush Jr isn't well-read. This joke didn't even get a mention in the New York Times or the AP story about McCartney's performance, but I guess USA Today mentioned it, and now the Republicans radio babblers are saying that everyone should hate Faul for stating the obvious not honoring the office of the president, etc.

The American presidency is nothing. But that motherfucker, first of all, needs to stop telling people what to eat -- though a choice portion of a Texas long-horn steer might put hair on his chest and make him appear less like an old queen. And, second of all, that motherfucker needs to stop telling Americans how to vote. He's not an American citizen, even if some of you want to think that he may have been one in a prior life. George W. Bush is married to a librarian and is a Harvard post-graduate. I don't think that I'm aware of where Sir Paul got his college degree. And given that he claims to have achieved tremendous songwriting success without ever having learned to read music, he isn't in any position to comment on anyone else's literacy.

So... Sir Paul opened his mouth and put his foot in it.. Not exactly "the Beatles are bigger than Jesus", but somewhere John is having a chuckle. Yeah we here in the US watched for eight years moments like this, but was that comment necessary or well advised? Probably not.

The Bush administration made some choices in the last term that I did not agree with, IMO, and I voted for Obama and I want Obama to help our country if he is able to. t
I am not a socialist by nature but I do think that swinging that way every so often in America helps "balance" our way here. Obama may get us back on a better track.
Bush was too corporate, too quasi-fascistic, and yet too removed from America's problems at the end of his second term. We need an Obama right now. Let's give him the two years he has left to straighten the course in our nation.

Rolling Stone made it a point to post the full text of McCartney's "rant" in its most recent issue, the one with Jay Z on the cover.

Sir Paul McCartney fans splash out £800 for tickets to Hampden gig www.dailyrecord.co.uk/showbiz/music-news/2010/06/19/sir-paul-mccartney-fans-splash-out-800-for-tickets-to-hampden-gig-86908-22344368/He added: "To start with, it was just a few local promoters who came, then Barry, our promoter, suggested selling a special ticket for the show for anyone who wants more of an experience. "They come to the catering and eat what we eat, which is often the best restaurant in town. They're really good caterers.
"That's because we were going to cater veggie for the whole tour and the crew and people said, 'Oh God. The crew aren't going to like that.' So we said to the caterer, 'It's got to be the best food ever.' We don't want people to go, 'We're forced to eat that veggie rubbish.' So the people who come to the soundcheck check are looked after specially."Jun 19 2010 John Dingwall; Bev Lyons

in the "user's comments" in the article above:"As an ex professional musician myself, I know how important a sound check is, I believe Paul McCartney was probably the most talented of the Beatles, but Paul will have a backing group with him, about eight years ago I saw Roger McGuinn perform completely solo at the fruit market in Glasgow, what a singer and what a musician, I would guarantee that neither Paul McCartney or any of the other Beatles could even come close to this guy. Roger McGuinn was the lead guitarist and singer with the Byrds, they were probably from both a musical and vocal point of view the best ever pop band if Roger McGuinn is anything to go by. 19/6/2010 12:04 PM BST on dailyrecord.co.uk ;D Old Roger draft-dodger Leavin' by the basement door, Everybody knows what he's Tippy-toeing down there for <--- Simon&Garfunkel; "Punky's Dilemna" lyrics

I guess it pays to be a Sir:
PAUL MCCARTNEY PERSUADES QUEEN TO LIFT PYROTECHNICS BAN
SIR Paul McCartney will be getting the royal treatment at Hard Rock Calling this weekend.
The Beatles legend has got permission from The Queen to break a ban on pyrotechnics in London’s Hyde Park.
Sir Paul, who sang “Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl” on Abbey Road, closes the three-day festival, which is part of the Hard Rock Ambassadors Of Rock tour, on Sunday.
A source revealed: “As Hyde Park is underneath a flight path, pyrotechnics are usually banned from any concerts held there.
“The Queen herself is the only person who can change that rule, so clearly she’s a Macca fan.
“She has agreed to let him blast off some impressive pyros during Helter Skelter.”
The Windsors clearly have good taste in music as Prince Harry, 25, is a regular at HRC.
Last year he hung out with Sir Tom Jones, 70, in the backstage VIP café scoffing one of their legendary burgers.
However, this time in the artists’ catering area the only burgers being served up will be Linda McCartney veggie ones.
My source continued: “Sir Paul has requested the artist area goes veggie all day on Sunday and adds Linda’s range to the menu.
“He will also be bringing in his own staff to run the food side of things.”
In a further example of exactly why he’s considered pop royalty, The Queen has also agreed to Macca taking a helicopter into the park.
That is something Aerosmith were denied in 2007.
My source added: “Paul wants to arrive in style so he’s relaxed before he entertains his fans. The helicopter means he won’t have to worry about getting stuck in traffic.
“Once he comes off stage he will have a police escort and a convoy of 10 cars to get him out of the park.
“There’s a speed restriction set down by the Royal Parks which means fans could easily run up against Macca’s vehicle.”
That’s proper rock star behaviour.

The Queen must really like Macca to be lifting those bans. FIreworks for Helter Skelter? That's usually a Live and Let Die thing. God bless the Queen!

Ha, good luck with that! Barry is a natural-born British subject, the usurper-in-chief. He is aiding and abetting in the current ongoing British WMD attack on Louisiana & America. It is only right & proper that he be rewarded with a serenade by the one of the Queen's knights while the genocide in the Gulf continues. His service to the monarchy has been outstanding; perhaps even better than Sir Poppy Bush. The Bush administration made some choices in the last term that I did not agree with, IMO, and I voted for Obama and I want Obama to help our country if he is able to. Wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see what piles up first. It boggles the mind how one can't learn after years on a forum like this.
