My main man Paul MAC wowed the audiences at this year's Super Bowl halftime show. He was playing with his backup band, "The Yesterdays." Good thing Paul changed the name of his most famous song or the band would be known as "The Scrambled Eggs." When he wrote "Yesterday," he was afraid that he may be guilty of plagiarism, thinking the tune had been lifted perhaps.
Paul started the show with "Drive My Car" from Rubber Soul. Then "Get Back," a rocker the fab 4 once sang on the rooftop of the Apple Building in jolly old London. Circa 1969. Then we heard "Live and Let Die." A Wings foray and the title song for Roger Moore's debut as 007. "Shaken and not stirred," eh?
And to close the show we heard the classic "Hey Jude." Supposedly written to John Lennon's son Julian during the time when the Lennons were breaking up. [ see Yoko Ono for more details ]
What a show! And a pretty good football game as well. And Paul was much better than last year's fiasco. [ see Justin and Janet for more details ]
Here's hoping they'll bring him back year after year after year.
Farewell and adieu, v.c.
P.S. While writing "Hey Jude," Paul sang the tune to John. I'll change "the movement you need is on your shoulders" he told John.
"No you want," he said. "It's the best line in the song."
