At a book signing - a friend used his press pass to get us to the head of the 800-person-long line - and I couldn't think of anything to say. I told him so: "You know, I've been trying to think of something to say, and there's nothing I could say that you haven't heard before a million times, so...thank you."
He grinned, then paused a moment, looked me in the eye, and said "I can see it in your eyes, mate."
I left the bookstore tearing up a little bit.

Paul is cool, I have like him since I was a kid. Band on the Run is one of the best tunes he did with Wings and I'd love to see him in concert!

Erosomniac, where did you see him? 'Cuz I have a friend who saw him in a concert today in Portland, OR. Are you in that area?

I saw him in concert two years ago in Tacoma...Paul is just.. Paul. Wow.
And I'm currently listening to "The Long And Winding Road" on repeat, so yeah. I'm fan. A fanatic fan who was born in the wrong decade. I SO would have been an Apple Scruff. In a second.

He's also an author, as I imagine he was signing his new book.
Anyhow, that's awesome that you got to meet Macca. The man's a living legend. I probably would have been flustered and tongue-tied and stupid if I met him, but it sounds like he had a great reaction to your comment. Congratulations.

What a perfect answer! I love the Beatles and I've always held Paul McCartney in the highest regard because of his song-writing/piano/singing/musicianship. It's nice to know that he's a good guy too. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

Don't you know that anytime someone asks that question an army appears out of nowhere followed by a "THIS ARMY!"?

You obviously didn't notice me in my super cool super hero suit and the whole American military might behind me. And I think that France and Britian are in their somewhere.

Oh, everyone involved in Revolutions #1 and #9. And that's a lot of people. ANGRY people. Have you heard them? "BLOCK THAT SHOT!! BLOCK THAT SHOT!!" Have you seen the fights that break out at soccer games? It's dangerous. Plus there's Yoko. She's got some serious rage, as anyone who's heard her stuff knows. Run. Now.

I probably would not have been able to even say what you said to him. I probably would have said something stupid like, "Is there really a Penny Lane?" Or something stupid similar to that that isn't that. You know, something stupid.

If you like the werewolf/horror genre, Kelley Armstrong is excellent, Canadian, and rarely tours outside of there.
