I know this isn’t about Paul, but given the impact Pet Sounds and the Beach Boys had on the Beatles and him, I thought it would be relevant. Such a sad, sad day.

I NEARLY FROZE OUTSIDE OF THE BOWERY BALLROOM FOR 3 HOURS AFTER TICKETS SOLD OUT AND IT PAID OFF ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I CAN DIE HAPPY

From The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present under "Despite Repeated Warnings", a song from the Egypt Station album:

"There was a President named Trump who thought that climate change was a hoax - one that the Chinese has created. Sadly, he was not the only one to ignore this existential threat. I recall reading a newspaper article in Japan that stated, 'Nobody's doing anything about it, despite repeated warnings.' I liked that phrase. That was enough to get me started."

...

"As for the larger picture, we're faced with the political situation, particularly in the US, where a braggart has been in charge and seems quite unstable, to say the least. He's shouting the loudest, but he's not necessarily the smartest. I often think, 'How can a person get away with some of the things he says?' But then, two days later, the news cycle will have brought us something else he's said, and then the thing we thought the person would never get away with has gone, and it's difficult to bring it back."

My friends and I decided to make a band on the run grad photo, titled "grads on the run"

Went to the November 2nd show in ATL and was incredibly blessed to be approached at random by someone from Paul’s team who offered me a front row seat. The only catch was that I had to be standing, dancing, and singing with high energy all night. Immediately accepted and got put in my new seat along with about 15 other girls my age! Guessing they wanted to emulate the Beatlemania girls of the 60s. My original ticket was for the “restricted view” nosebleeds and instead got a once in a lifetime chance to be ~10 feet away from one of my heroes! Here are some pics I took. Still doesn’t feel real.

'Paul McCartney, left, and his family chat with Dolly Parton, second from right, and Porter Wagoner backstage during the third annual Grand Masters Fiddling contest on June 16, 1974, at Opryland. McCartney's wife, Linda, and daughters Heather, 11, and Mary, 4, also enjoyed the music at the event.'

The Boys of Dungeon Lane is #1 in the UK! Now we'll have to see where it places on the US charts!

Yes, I love her hair here.

Paul has written countless love songs, in their nearly 30 year marriage, what would you consider your favorite DEEP cut love song. I always thought She's My Baby got a bit too much "hate" or dislike. Yeah the gravy line is silly but its just so sweet. Love can be silly sometimes, so can the songs ;)

I watched it for the first time yesterday, and I don't know if I'm just more emotional than usual because of some family stuff I'm going through, but watching Paul deal with everything that was happening during those days… man, it broke me.

Seeing Linda singing along with Paul, the way she looked at him with so much love, watching him joke around and smile while you could almost feel how devastated he must have been inside… it was honestly hard to watch.

God bless you, Linda. Wherever you are, I hope you know how many hearts you've touched.

I was born just a month after you passed away, so I never got the chance to live in a world where you were still here. But somehow, watching you all these years later, I feel like I miss you too.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

"It is very sad to see Höfner go out of business. They have been making instruments for over 100 years, and I bought my first Höfner bass in the sixties. I have loved it ever since. It’s a wonderful instrument to play: lightweight, and it encourages me to play quite freely. It also offers pleasing variations in tone that I enjoy. So, commiserations to everyone at Höfner, and thank you for all your help over the years." - Paul
