Paul McCartney

In case you are somehow unaware of what's happening in the world, Paul McCartney was the guest on The Colbert Report last night. I learned many things. Stephen considers himself to be one of the Beatles, at least in his own mind. Paul McCartney was very relaxed about being on the show and although Stephen has certain rigid rules and guidelines, he waived them all for Paul. Stephen shared a brief history of Paul McCartney's musical career, albeit somewhat different from how the history books tell it. One reason the Beatles decided to stop performing was that no one could hear their music when they performed.

Last night's show was so good, you just have to go watch it over at Colbert Nation. You know you deserve to be serenaded. And if it's your birthday, then for sure go listen to Paul McCartney sing to you. One thing about Paul McCartney that is so refreshing. He always is just thrilled to be playing music for the audience. As famous as he is, as talented as he is, he never is reluctant to give his all for his audience. There's only one other person in the world with that kind of humbleness and enthusiasm. I am of course talking about Stephen Colbert.

So stop reading what I'm writing and listen to Sir Paul or go buy a few of his CDs. You will be glad you did.
