I Hate When This Happens

So there I was, watching the latest episode of The Flash on The CW’s website and I see a commercial that used the song All You Need is Love.

Just days after the release of the amazing Get Back documentary I hear The Beatles in a friggin’ commercial.

You suck, Michael Jackson.

The story as I remember it is that during the dark days of Jackson and Paul McCartney writing songs together, Jackson asked Paul for financial advice and Paul suggested focusing on music publishing. Not long after, Jackson bought the publishing rights to The Beatles’ catalog. Not long after that, Revolution ended up in a commercial and the world has pretty much sucked ever since.

So I just saw All You Need is Love in a commercial and it’s Michael friggin’ Jackson’s fault. Asshole.

Sir Paul Plays Fenway

Our seats for Sir Paul’s gig at Fenway Park were the magical obstructed view seats behind Pesky’s Pole in right field.

I watched the show from the standing room section because I am ridiculously tall and disgustingly fat.

Delay

We are outside of Fenway park listening to Paul McCartney’s Soundcheck. The gates were supposed to open at 5:00 but Sir Paul is running late and now they won’t open until 6:00.

We get to hear the Soundcheck though. They’re playing Penny Lane as I type this.

Nothing to Say

I’ve got nothing to say tonight.  Nope, nuttin’.

Last night was my step daughter’s middle school chorus Christmas concert.  She was awesome.  She’s a star.  really.  The kids were great.  They worked very hard.  I know because she practiced every time we got in the car together.  Congratulations to all of the kids.

I have a slightly increased level of Christmas spirit thanks to the concert.  It’s enough to acknowledge the whole season, but not enough for me to be buried in amazon.com buying gifts for everyone I know.

Maybe it might be time for the big guns… maybe it might be time for…

Right now I have the 12/12/12 hurricane Sandy benefit concert streaming via youtube.  Roger Waters just walked on stage and played a song that is supposed to end, symbolically, with a fighter plane crashing into the audience.

In New York.

At a benefit concert.

Roger has always done things his own way, and I’ve always admired that about him.  I’ve always been a huge fan as well.  Still… let’s hope the symbolism was lost on the majority of the audience, m’kay?

Okay, I’ve really got nothing to say tonight, so that is going to have to do for now.  Maybe I’ll have something to say after Paul McCartney fills in for Kurt Cobain later on… although I don’t expect to be awake for much longer.
