Carnival of Light(s)? HA!
Does Paul, have something up his sleeve with Dance till were high? perhaps a lil teaser of the highly antiscipated Beatle's, Carnival of Light, rumoured earlier this year .... to be released- soon? OR, is this, purely innocent, a coincedence on Paul's, part.. makes- me- go- hum?! see video here at.... Paul McCartney.com

The first time he saw it he looked so puzzled!!! Newxt thing I know I'm climbing over the barricade and
I'M GIVING PAUL MCCARTNEY A HUG!!!!!!!
Then he asked me where I wanted it and I pointed and all I could say was OH MY GOD!!! Then I turned to leave and I saw Rusty and decided to give him a hug too....then I thought, well, why not the whole band!!!! So I went to Brian and then went over to Abe and told him that I saw him with Eric Clapton like a week and a half ago, then I got up and gave Wix a hug!!! ........Audrey's new Macca tattoo above
They were going to put me back in the crowd, but I was freaking out so much that they took me to the medic tent and I sat there crying with happiness and drinking water. Then when they went to put me back into my spot Paul said "Ah here she comes, all tattooed!" and was looking at me and I mouthed "I love you, I love you so much!"
I've got an appointment today at 5 to get it tattooed on!!! The reality still hasn't sunk in!!!
* * Please vote for this blog! Stumble or Digg it! TY~ Michael Jackson's Memorial Macca on The Beatles Catalog
Hey people how are you this fine day? I have had computer problems unable to post, however I am back on now. I like to say that the meorial to Michael Jackson was touching and uplifting. I was able to view it via CNN.com. A huge thankyou to CNN for the rebroadcast.
I was touched by Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee's message. You go Shelia, that was a brilliant message! Jermaine Jackson's "Smile" tribute to his brother. I got goose bumps to such a loving tribute. Ushers "Gone to soon" than walking down to Michael's beautiful casket. That gave me chills and well up. I was very teary. Stevie Wonder's tribute was absolutely haunting- I never dreamed you'd leave in Summer" & "My Destiny"- posted below. Listen to the lyrics!~ * Also, the lil statement made by Michael's lil girl pulled at my heart. 'he was the best father in the world' than clinging on to auntie Janet..didn't this get us all? I am really hoping if, there was any foul play as father, Joe Jackson claims, the investigators get em all. May Michael Jackson rest in Peace -now. I love seeing all the tributes!
Smile-Jermaine Jackson at Staples Center, Michael Jackson Memorial...
The Beatles Catalog Controversy Last year I had written a post - it was rumoured Michael Jackson was ill and would he actually give back the Beatles catalog, back to- Paul?. I cannot find the orginal posty here on my blog. I will continue looking.
I than wrote a post dated Jan 4th 09: "Oh, so now Michael Jackson wants to make it up to Macca?" .I read the snippet from The Daily Mail.co.uk than posted my own opinion. I dunno if the orginal came from the Mail? But I am gonna go out on a limb and say a huge yes. Since, this is where I first read it -on the net. As I posted via the link above? "Let's see how this all pans out" I stated at the end of my own post.
One could deduct this rumour created a fire storm with news agencies and blogs around the world running with this lil tidbit of rumoured speculation creating their own spin. Fans, have wondered? I have wondered? Since Michael Jackson's, untimely demise the rumours have swirled even further. Is it true or not?! We could all guess that Paul McCartney, reads some of the news or hears about it it some way. Finally Macca has set the record straight this past week. below
Some time ago, the media came up with the idea that Michael Jackson was going to leave his share in the Beatles songs to me in his will which was completely made up and something I didn’t believe for a second.
Now the report is that I am devastated to find that he didn’t leave the songs to me. This is completely untrue. I had not thought for one minute that the original report was true and therefore, the report that I’m devastated is also totally false, so don’t believe everything you read folks!
In fact, though Michael and I drifted apart over the years, we never really fell out, and I have fond memories of our time together.
At times like this, the press do tend to make things up, so occasionally, I feel the need to put the record straight.
Paul
hb: Paul, well, I am once again, happy to read, you. Thanx for setting the record straight. Now people can shut up and quit speculating. :) I dislike reading when people think, they know, what your feeling, how your feeling, how your thinking or have no kind of freaking empathy for anyone involved, whether it be rumour or truth. Too many judgements, one sided views and closed minds- without getting the facts straight.?! Miles of Smiles to you. That was very honorable of you Paul :)
Rawk em out In Halifax tonight Paull woohooo xx hb~
One more Michael Jackson tribute I just had to post this vid also of Stevie Wonders, haunting performance at Michales memorial- Chills to the bone...

I loved Stevie's tribute so much!~ This was so powerful, full of emotion. The lLyrics, just beautiful!!! This has made me teary on my 4th listen. One of the best, performances, I have ever seen.~ Thank you Stevie~

Please vote for this blog! Stumble or Digg it! TY~ Last Michael Jackson rehearsal plus Jackson Memorial
Ok, so it's been one week since Michael Jackson, passed away, and I am feeling sad about his passing- now, a week later. I am welling up at times. The out pour of fan tributes is very touching. I can't imagine what his mother Katherine Jackson is feeling at this time or the rest of the Jackson family, the grief must be over whelming. I saw a snippet of Matt Lauer's interview with Jermaine Jackson this eveing, very telling and honest. What a heart Jermaine is :)
Last sundays tribute to Michael Jackson on the BET awards was touching with a 4 day notice. Jamie Fox, was brilliant. I am hoping BET does a full out tribute for Michael Jackson, properly.
Last Video footage of Michael Jackson during rehearsals
Wow, this video above is rehearsals of Michael Jackson, at Staples Center, two days prior to his passing. He looks healthly. energentic, full of life, not drugged out like some of the media are claiming. What a tragic loss. I am hoping, if there is any such possibilty that Michael could see all the LOVE and support that is being bestowed upon him now. He could smile down and be in peace I feel for his die hard fans..my Respects..
Michael Jackson Memorial July 7th Staples

june 3rd Paul McCartneys memories of Michael
I first heard from Michael when he phoned me over the Christmas holiday season in 1980 and my initial reaction was “who is this and how did he get my private telephone number?”. Michael laughed and explained who it was and, as we talked and I asked him why he was ringing, he said “Do you wanna make some hits?” and that was the start of our adventure together.
He came over to England with his close friend and minder, Billy and they visited our house in the country many times as Michael and I put together the ideas for our songs together. First of all, we came up with and finished an idea for a song I had started which became Say Say Say. We recorded in Air Studios, London with George Martin producing and eventually went to California to make the video for the song. Funnily enough, I was staying at the ranch that Michael later bought and made into Neverland.
My memories are of his great sense of humour and we seemed to spend most of the time playing around and having a laugh. He became very friendly with my family and we had lots of great times together. Although we drifted apart in later years I will always remember fondly the fun we had working and playing together. My family and I send our deepest condolences to his family and, like them, we know that his great talent will never be forgotten.
hb~
Paul, that is brilliant, so lovely to read about your initial memories of Michael and you!~ and seeing Neverland, last night via telly and they speaking bout you and Michael working together at Neverland for the SAY SAY SAY video,, geeez I get chills writing this. becuz , I know you are a wonderful person Macca, and would not hold any grudges towards Michael Jackson, you are so wonderful to post such happy memories...I suppose this is hitting alot of us a lil bit harder a week later after his death. You are correct " a Great talent that will never be forgotten." I really enjoyed reading your further happy memories of you and Michael~
"Step right up c'mon lady's and gentlemen gather around for the Mac & Jack Magic Potion" :):)
Note: Will Paul McCartney be performing at Michael Jackson's Memorial? That would be something~
* Please vote for this blog! Stumble or Digg it! TY~ The King of POP Michael Jackson Died today! thurs 5:53pm
I was at work today. It was 2:30pm- someone passes me in the hall saying Michael Jackson died. There were rumours last year he had some illness's going on? Well, I had just found out a few hours earlier Farrah Fawcett has passed away from fucking cancer!
Now Michael Jackson?! It's one of those things you hoped he was just ill and would be recovering in the hospital.
No matter how you felt about Michael Jackson- He made brilliant music! Just like the Beatles, the name Michael Jackson, is known around the world. Michael Jackson was an Icon and loved so by many. Half of the world, is asleep, right now, not knowing "The King of Pop" has actually passed away~ we looked it up online while at work. The New York, Times, stated "Michael Jackson was in a coma" to see if it was actually true?
I'm not as shocked as I thought I would be- I just think it tragic, Michael, lived such a hard life as a recluse. The thing that ticked me off about Michael was The Beatle's catalog thing between him and Paul McCartney. I hope, Michael found some kinda peace in recent years. What a sad loss.
A press conference is happening right at this moment in Los Angelos 5:53pm well it was suppose to happen. Brian Oxman, The Jackson Attorney says that Michael was taking too many prescription drugs. Mr. Oxman sounds distraught over the death...rightly so.
Michael Jackson, passed away at 2:26pm at UCLA hospital-from Cardiac arrest. They attempted to resuscitate Michael, for one hour accourding to his brother Jermaine, who now, just gave a "brief" news conference. How sad, very very sad.
Michael Jackson, was scheduled to play London next week July 13th in a come back tour.
6:45pm Wow! They, MSNBC, just showed the image of Michael Jackson's body being carefully transferred from a helicopter, wrapped in a white sheet, placed onto jurney, into a white panel van on it's way to the corners office. That was surreal! No fanfare, just quietly lead from the helicopter to the Corner's van.
Rest in Peace Michael~
Just a side thought. I remember Raynel- in the morning via 98.1 Kiss FM saying,. last year it was Michael Jackson's 50th birthday around 7:50am as I pulled into work. It seemed kinda shocking, cuz one wouldn't really think Michael Jackson, would ever be this age, a huge 50 a bit of reflection there. She laughed. I laughed too. It made me think of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, now gone. The huge impact these artists have made in our lives and other things~Dang, Michael now 50- again I thought..
I recall seeing The Jacksons in 1978 I believe? a Theater now closed. I was a lil kid. it was a great concert. I was so excited!! We were back stage, after the show, milling around waiting to go into the restuarant to eat. like we always did. Suddenly, here comes the Jackson family being shoo'd to their dressing room's ina hurry- when Michael says 'who's that, who are they?' smiling and pointing. Janet too. I wanted to meet The Jackson's, but they wouldn't let us, of course!!
Surely, I just about had a fit, almost cried. Ok, I probably did cry. lol The biggest band in the world at the time besides the Beatles and I couldn'ty meet em? Just a personal memory of Michael Jackson and the Jackson family.
Wonder what the fans in Europe & Japan are gonna think when the news breaks there?
Paul McCartney pays tribute to Michael Jackson
"It's so sad and shocking. I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael. He was a massively talented boy man with a gentle soul. His music will be remembered forever and my memories of our time together will be happy ones.
I send my deepest sympathy to his mother and the whole family and to his countless fans all around the world."
pm.com Wonder if Macca, will pay tribute to Michael in his upcoming gigs next month?
