Fantastic concert two weeks ago in Europe - 40 songs from all parts of his repertoire and 3 hours of enjoyment. Worth every penny.

McCartney is a Liverpudlian and he has seen enough of the gangsters in that city to recognise that the same problem is endemic in BA.

I suppose his security people would also point out the 'Malvinas' trap that has recently engorged other 'celebrities' and the subsequent damage to their reputations around the world.

If there is one country in were the Beatles were not as popular as the Stones was Argentina.

But anyway, that time has passed. Even the very long existing “rolinga” subculture is now fading. Those were the glory days of British culture, today it is waning fast.
