McCartney - Sullivan Theater

I was watching McCartney on Letterman last night and his performance was absolutely brilliant. He and his band gave a 22-minute mini concert on the marquee of Ed Sullivan Theater (45 years ago?) in front of slacking New Yorkers on a hump day afternoon.

CBS clip of said live concert that was not on the show itself

I am not a fan of the Beatles but I'm scared to death these older legends are biting the dust one after another. You don't have to be a fan to recognize something truly special. And you don't have to have always loved them to mourn them. A piece of what was taken for granted is lost forever. Let us savor every last bit of your brilliance sir Paul.

Happy Birthday, USA!

Well tomorrow anyway.



Watch all the way through and perhaps a second time. Thank you!

After successfully orbiting the moon for 1 year and 8 months, the main orbiter's operation finished by the controlled collision to the lunar surface on 18:25 June 10, 2009 (UTC).[2]
