I love Paul McCartney. "Penny Lane" is my ringtone. I'm a HUGE Beatles fan. There. I've admitted it but how can you not? He's adorable. He's a family man. He can sing, play the guitar AND the piano. And he's loved by pretty much the entire world. I had the pleasure of seeing Paul play at FedEx Field 2 summers' ago, and thoroughly enjoyed every last minute of it. He's the ultimate entertainer and he's still got "it" even after doing this for more than 40 years. Even after an hour delay (FedEx field - not the greatest of venues: not a single working bathroom in the whole place that night and no running water, not to mention the traffic situation...) Paul had the sold out crowd of more than 80K eating out of his hand for more than 2 hours with not a single break in the middle of an August heatwave (it was about 85 degrees when the sun went down). It was truly awesome to watch and needless to say I'm anxiously awaiting his return! In honor of this momentous occasion, have a listen to my favorite Paul song: "Blackbird". "Blackbird" isn't his flashiest or most upbeat, but the message gets me every time. It's never not made me smile.
So, Happy 70th Birthday Sir Paul! Hope your special day made you feel as fabulous and loved, as your songs have made all of your fans feel over the last 40 years!
