Maybe that would have kept me from buying Milk Duds! I didn't even get my money back after I got kicked out of the theater! That's a great idea Lady Leslie about considering Paul for the lead, we both have pretty good imaginations don't we?
Yes, I think so too! That's how most creative ideas get started... without imagination there is no creativity in my opinion... But Paul would be perfect for the lead, and could sing "Pure imagination" (which could have been the title of a Beatles song at one time, lol) That's too bad you didn't get to see the entire Willy Wonka movie when you were 11, due to the Milk Dud throwing... but at least you have it on DVD now Between High School and College, I worked at a movie theater for 1 day...... but that's all I could stand, lol... the ticket taking was ok, but having to pry and scrape off the dried milk duds and gum and holy cow bars off the floors and theater seats was so gross... then we had to hose everything down and there was a dried candy garbage river going down the steps of the theater... (cement floor with stadium seating)... it just wasn't for me and I quit after one day, lol
So I got kicked out of the theater when I was 10, I got even with all theaters after that years later while in High School! In California, in the 1970's, the midnight movies were the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights! It was like being at a Rock concert! All I will say to sum this period up is that every theater I went to ended up destroyed!

You probably enjoyed seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show... they used to show it here every Friday night at midnight for about ten years, lol

I saw Let It Be at a midnight movie with my first husband on the same night that I saw Beatlemania (live) with a gf at the Atlanta Civic Center! This was in early 1981 and I was 25. I used to go to midnight movies all the time in the '70s with my boyfriend Paul. Those were the days my friend.....

Oh yes, we used to have massive food fights in the auditorium during the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW movie! I used to sit right in the middle of the auditorium so I could be right in the middle of the food fight! I used to come out of the theater soaked with food. However, that would change in later years when I would show up to the midnight movies with a white bed sheet! It would look like I was going to either a Toga Party or a Ku Klux Klan Rally! Damn, those were the good old days!

I used to see LET IT BE, THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME, THE WALL, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, DAWN OF THE DEAD and DAY OF THE DEAD just to name a few at the midnight movies. It was the summer of 79, THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME was showing at the Capitol Theater on Watt Ave in Sacramento, California (Now torn down!). The Hells Angels showed up, ripped off the first two rows of seats in the upper left hand side of the theater. I caught the Manager banging one of his female workers in his office. My friends and I lit 3 bottle rockets in the theater with one landing on the curtain and starting a fire in the auditorium. The whole auditorium was evacuated and the Police were called. When we got back in, the movie finally started. As the movie started, NUMEROUS smoke bombs were thrown at the screen with one hitting the other curtain and starting another fire. The Manager would make his way down the auditorium and warned us that if the bad behavior continues, there will be no movie at all. 10 minutes later, 2 theater staff were jumped and beat up in the back of the auditorium courtesy of the Hells Angels and got everyone, including my friends and I, kicked out of the auditorium. The Police arrested the Hells Angels and a few people in the auditorium. The movie didn't start until 3 AM and the auditorium was practically empty. I wasn't leaving until I got my money back, that didn't happen.

Sounds like those were great memories for you! Wish that "Let it Be" could be remastered and re-released sometime soon... I've seen the final rooftop concert from it on Vimeo, but would be nice to see it on DVD and/or in theatrical release in the near future.

Wow, you've led such an interesting and exciting life, jl4761! When it comes to movie theaters, mine has been the opposite... just worked 1 day at the local cineplex and was relegated to scraping milk duds and gummy bears off the floor. I was raised in a very strict and sheltered religious environment, and wasn't allowed to be bad.... where I come from, just enjoying the Hokey Pokey too much at a church skating party could get you in trouble!

It wasn't planned that way, it just happened! I am happy that I had the greatest time in my youth! Like I always said, "No Regrets!" WOW, God forbid if you enjoyed musical chairs or pin the donkey!

Stuff like that never happened when I went to midnight movies in the Atlanta area. I remember seeing Kentucky Fried Movie, Harold & Maude, Alice's Restaurant, and what was the name of the one about the fictional rock group? (not The Rutles) For some reason I never saw Rocky Horror! Of course later I saw it on tv or I rented it.

This Is Spinal Tap! That was a great movie! California had the craziest and the wildest audiences at the midnight movies ever! Today, there are no more midnight movies in California due to the destruction of beautiful theaters in the past. It doesn't surprise me that California no longer shows THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW or any movies at midnight. The auditoriums were completely destroyed and covered with food everywhere and ink from the squirt guns after the midnight showing of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. That movie would singlehandedly be responsible for destroying numerous theaters throughout California in the 70's and 80's!

Yeah, my parents didn't do me any favors by sheltering me so much, because when you grow up and get out in the real world, it can be difficult, and it can be easy to be misunderstood... but maybe that's helped me to be a little more kind and understanding of others and what their life experiences might have been. I admire how Paul and Linda raised their children, and how they created such a good home base... they wanted their kids to have as normal of a childhood as possible, and raised them to have good hearts (as Linda said). Not easy for people in the public eye, but I think they did a good job

Getting back to topic of Paul's new album, Rolling Stone lists it at the top in their list of most anticipated albums of 2017 http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/63-most-anticipated-albums-of-2017-w459156/paul-mccartney-w459499 "Paul McCartney Album: TBA Release Date: TBA After announcing his return to Capitol Records, for whom the Beatles famously recorded, 74-year-old Paul McCartney wrapped up his 2016 tour and began work on his first album since 2013's New, going into the studio with producer Greg Kurstin, known for his work with Adele. (McCartney has also recorded tracks, including at least one with Lady Gaga, for an unnamed animation project.) 'I'll put out my next album, but I won't think I'm gonna sell a lot,' he told Rolling Stone last year. 'I'm putting it out because I have songs that I like. And I will do my best job. The scene has changed, but it doesn't disturb me, because I had the best of it.'"

You're very welcome LadyLeslie! I'm now retired from throwing Milk Duds in theaters! I figured now I'm too old to be getting kicked out of theaters! Ha Ha! Paul and Linda actually proved that you can be happily married, raise a good family and be Rock stars at the same time! That is extremely difficult to do!

I think so too. Somehow they managed to find a way to balance it all, and create a loving and stable home base for their family. They were thinking of their home life, their marriage and children first, and any decisions they made were based around that. That's what made a difference I think. Found this article online, from August 2016, regarding Paul's upcoming album. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartney-new-album-2016/ "Paul McCartney Mulls New Album Paul McCartney is 'looking at some lyric ideas' for a studio follow-up to 2013's New as his latest round of live dates continues. 'I can write all over the place,' he told Rolling Stone. 'I've got a lot of ideas on the go.' ...'Music is like a psychiatrist,' he said. 'You can tell your guitar things that you can't tell people. And it will answer you with things people can't tell you. But there's a value to sad songs. Something bad happens, you don't want to repress it. So you unload it on yourself, with a guitar. I've got a couple on my next album which are a bit - [makes a shocked look]. But it works, because with songs, you can do that.' There isn't any timeline yet for the album. Whenever it arrives, however, McCartney has resigned himself to a current climate in which physical sales will never match the hey day of his old band Wings, much less the Beatles. 'I'll put out my next album, but I won't think I'm gonna sell a lot,' he said. 'I'm putting it out because I have songs that I like. And I will do my best job. The scene has changed, but it doesn't disturb me, because I had the best of it - selling 100,000 a day on something like 'Mull of Kintyre.' I've had the joy of that. If I don't have it now, it's not just about me. All of my contemporaries, who are still pretty cool, don't have it, because things have moved on. And you know what? We had it. And it was great.'"

Hi LadyLeslie! Thank you for posting the article, it is very interesting. As Paul confesses, he has resigned himself that his newer and current albums may not sell or match the hey day of his old bands such as The Beatles or Wings. In my opinion, this might be true but then again, Paul McCartney is the most famous and successful artist in music history!

Yes, he and his music are so well loved, by so many people, it would be impossible for the album not to do well. I think it has the potential to be even more successful than he imagined. Let's continue to send lots of positive thoughts!
