Paul McCartney is coming to Seattle this Friday. This will be the second time I’ve seen him live. Although the first I’ve heard him live.
When I was 15, my friend Simon Smith and I went to Live Aid at Wembley Stadium. For the finale, McCartney’s microphone didn’t work so I saw him mouth Let It Be for four minutes.
By way of well-trodden Beatles anecdote, the old reporter to John Lennon story:
Reporter: “Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?”
John: “Ringo’s not the best drummer in the Beatles.”
My favorite Paul McCartney solo song.
