Light a Lighter.....for Paul....
I was reading tonight that Paul McCartney is in town......and the person writing the article was talking how he had been there when he saw the "Beatles" in 1966 at the Olympia Stadium. Welllllllllllllllllllllllll.......I saw them then and I saw them in 1964, their first appearance here!...whoopee....whooppe...dooo. So am I writing an article about it??? Maybe I should.
Wayyyyy...back....in 1964....I desperately wanted to see "The Beatles". I mean, they were the hottest new group that ever invaded the music industry...and Paul was so damn cute! So I sent away for a ticket...and I was so excited when I received my ticket in the mail....(It cost me $2.00 for a standing-room only ticket)....(I still have the ticket). Anyway...I haven't seen Paul since 1966 when I went to see him again.... And tonight and last night he is here at the Palace. Did I get a ticket??...Was I there?? Did I go see my idol????...NOPE....I will NOT pay $100 to see some guy sing songs that I have already heard before. Besides, I already saw him in '64 and '66...same ole, some ole......Last time I saw him, he just stood there with his guitar in front of a mike and bobbed his head back and forth and said "yeah, yeah, yeah"
So I'm not about to spend $100 to see him again.
Tonight I rented a movie called "A Mighty Wind"...a story about some old folk singers who get together after mega years and sing for their fans. Brought back a lot of memories....like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Melanie....like you really know who I'm talking about.
I have a t-shirt that Bob Dylan autographed with his name with some artist that painted a guitar on the shirt....really cool!
But who the hell really cares, right??
Sooooooooooooo....Paul is singing at the Palace tonight and I'm not there...like he's going to really miss me....well, as long as I buy his CD, he'll be okay.
Those where the days...............my friend...............
