So the recent concert got me curious about the current members of his band – who are they (other than obviously top-flight, crackerjack musicians?)

As I mentioned yesterday in my random thoughts about the McCartney concert post, one of the things I learned in advance of the show is that McCartney often picks out someone holding a sign in the front rows and brings them on stage to meet them or accept the gift they’ve brought or whatever.

It’s weird being a blogger sometimes because it affects how you think about things (there are theories that social media sites like Facebook have the same effect where you can’t just enjoy experiences because you’re always thinking how to spin them/frame them/present them to your online audience.)

Just like they do for her dad, mom and brother!
A week and a bit from now I will be seeing Paul McCartney in concert. This is a great warm-up for the man’s musical genius… Let’s hope there’s not a repeat of his experience in Brazil during this tour (although a plaque of grasshoppers definitely *isn’t* out of the question in Saskatchewan! It’s amazing (er, […]
For the past few weeks, Reddit Gold members (those who pay an annual subscription fee) have been able to beta-test a new feature called Multi-Reddits. That feature has now gone live for all Reddit members. With thousands of sub-reddits, it’s difficult to keep track of them all. Multi-reddits allow you to combine similar reddits into […]
Two New York sisters (who are obviously future copy editors) re-work one of Alanis Morrisette’s most famous songs so that it’s finally accurate. Or to put it another way, “The only ironic thing about the [original Alanis Morrisette] song is that it’s written by someone who doesn’t know what irony is.” “It’s Finally Ironic” – […]
