Please Let It Be... Paul McCartney

[TAFKAG 70]

Paul McCartney has started making plans for his funeral. He's probably fine, but maybe he knows something we don't know.... I know he knows a lot of things we don't know, but maybe he knows something we don't already know, but should know, about his health he might be ill

 

I beleive he's specifically asked for the casket to be made from "Norwegian Wood".....

I think he's more likely to go for something classier, like ivory-inlaid ebony.

He's also asked to be cremated - he's bought a Ticket To Fried.

 

And his ashes are to be scattered Here, There and Everywhere.

A hardline Halibut cleric has said that suicide bombers will target Paul McCartney unless he cancels an upcoming gig to celebrate Israel's 60th anniversary.

 

“If he values his life Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel. He will not be safe there," Bakri said. "The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him.”

It had to happen. Management jargon has moved in to Islamic terrorism. I can just imagine some HR Mullah saying: "We can't use the term suicide bomber as it discriminates against people who are mentally unstable. Let's re-word the recruitment ad: wanted sacrifice operatives, competitive salary, generous benefits, company car, full remuneration package, excellent conditions, good opportunities to go up in the world."

Gig over.

 

Bring on the encore with the suicide bomber!

If only this was the real thing!

Look, I'm not a Paul McCartney fan, but I couldn't say that I would personally like to see anyone beheaded. Although it would be pretty funny if CNN and the BBC were raging with a story that a head which allegedly belonged to Paul McCartney was rolling around on a train.

[maryportfuncity 10,684]

PM on Radio Four reporting the missing head has been handed in to Abbey Road studios. A somewhat ironic gesture considering Macca and EMI Records parted company before his last album. Then again, the head is probably reunited with his mojo, last glimpsed in those very studios sometime in the 1970s.

I notice Mark Chapman is up for parole again - another person who sparks fierce debate but he only killed one person!

 

Denied for another 2 years.................make him morbid?????

He killed a sacred cow; I doubt he'll ever be released. If he'd shot Ringo he'd have been let out in 1985 to a healthy smattering of applause.

 

After his performance at The Olympic opening ceremony I wish Chapman had done Paul McCartney

 

It took you that long to wish that particular role reversal?

 

If Wings* didn't do it for you, The Frog chorus should definitely have done it.

 

 

 

*Wings...The Band the Beatles could have been.

 

I am going to ride to the defence of Paul McCartney.

 

With Wings Paul was doing what he wanted to do - make music with people he liked. He made more money from Wings than he ever did from the Beatles and they had some notable successes - Band on the Run, Mull of Kintyre etc.

 

The question that needs to be asked is What would the Beatles have been without Paul McCartney? - John Lennon and George Harrison did not make music which was as accessible as Paul did.

 

We have gone a bit off topic and I think it is my fault!!

 

I grew up near the Mull, and at the age of 10??? I could cheerfully have strangled him myself when he released that damn song. His bloody farm is 15/20 odd miles away so no chance he could see 'mist rolling in from the sea', and the video was filmed near Carradale so that was bollox too...........rant over!

Now that Anubis has vanished, I'll admit to a sneaky admiration of old Thumbs Aloft in his early 70s days, particularly Ram. You won't get me on Ringo, mind.

 

Love the thread title.

I should probably have held up Live and Let Die as a better example than Mull of Kintyre. Depends whether commercial or artistic success is the criteria.

I quite like Linda's backing vocals too.

Lived and let die: ex-Wings guitarist Henry McCullough.

 

Edit: it's a miracle! (With a little luck) he's risen again

[Red Flag 84]

"Mr McCullough, from Portstewart, County Londonderry, is one of the best known guitarists in the world"

 

He is?

Having survived Dunnmania, he's now received an apology from the Beeb and is ready to claim his place on here.

He's the lesser of four evils.

Paul takes revenge on the Japenese for throwing him into prison

 

If he really wanted to take revenge on them, he'd subject them to a 30 minute live version of "Hey Jude"
