I was watching the PBS Paul McCartney at the White House concert last night. Dave Grohl just nailed "Band on the Run," and you could tell Sir Paul was geeking out over being able to sing "Michelle" to Michelle Obama. Also, he got in a none-too-subtle dig at W when he said "I am so honored to receive this award, especially from this president."
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Did you see at the very end Barak try and dance with Malia? she was all DAAAAAD
Hee, he was definitely doing the Dorky Dad thing!
Mouthing lyrics at them too. AW MAN
I was glad that at least one of the songs was from McCartney's Wings era. (Is "Blackbird" from the 70s or Beatles-era?)
Blackbird is Beatles.
Yeah, I only heard Band on the Run from his later work.
Oh, and Ebony & Ivory
Hey Cure fans -- I'm going to be playing a bunch of songs from a 1980 concert they did in Boston tomorrow morning on my radio show. Listen live at wmbr.org. My show is from 8-10am, and the Cure feature will run from 8:30 -9am.
Oh, and the one song I heard during that concert that I had no clue was penned by McCartney was "Mother Nature's Son." I've only ever heard the John Denver version, so I thought it was an original Denver song.
Oh man, The Crash Kings are awesome.
