The Royal Mint in the UK has put Paul McCartney quite literally in the money. For the first time, Sir Paul McCartney has authorised a set of official coins in his name.

Paul McCartney’s 1984 movie ‘Give My Regards To Broad Street’ was universally panned in its day. The production, 100% funded by Paul, became a money pit. It lost him millions, had hideous reviews and now both the movie and soundtrack album have been long out of print. But was it that bad? Actually no. I thought it was much better than The Beatles ‘Magical Mystery Tour’.

Eighty two. Paul McCartney is 82. (Well, I guess it makes a change to referring to the good Sir as an ex-Beatle). Now, where was I? Oh yes, in Santiago, Chile, at the Estadio Monumental, watching this magnificent human perform to and thrill thousands of people. It is always heartwarming to see multi generations singing along to all the songs at a Paul McCartney show. More impressively here, because most people speak only Spanish.

Paul McCartney has performed the 2023 Beatles song ‘Now and Then’ for the first time at the first show of the 2024 ‘Got Back’ dates in South America.

On Tuesday night, 20 August 2024, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers and producer Andrew Watt performed at The Stephen Talkhouse in the Hamptons.

Paul McCartney & Wings 50 year old documentary ‘One Hand Clapping’ will be seen worldwide in cinemas for the first time in September.

In 1972 after The Beatles had broken up John Lennon asked Paul McCartney if he would do a benefit show with Wings, The Stones and Plastic Ono Band.
