Great picture Nancy. I showed it to my wife and remarked how good the 2 Beatles' look for their age. Many of the veteran rockers even quite younger than them don't look nearly as good.
Full disclosure - I didn’t take that pic. Professional photographer.
They both do look great!

Good Morning
My name is Jacob Lesner-Buxton and last Saturday I went to see Paul McCartney at Dodger Stadium. I am a person with Cerebral Palsy and low vision. It was a great show but I had problerms with security When I got to the stadium. my cab driver could not drop me at the gate due to being stopped by the parking attendant. I had never been to Dodger Stadium. before and don't know where to go. Luckily my driver flaged down this nice couple that agrees to let me walk with them about a mile to the gate. I havd my cane out and once I get to the gate I ask to be helped to my section. They bring me a wheelchair and on the walky-talky I hear “ we have an ADA case”. I would be hearing other people with disabilities called “ADA case’s” a lot throughout the night. Hearing that i was an "ADA case" made me feel less the human.After the show I waited for the crowds to die down and go towards the gate. I asked for help finding a cab and this security guard tells the other staff he’s with ” so he wants someone to walk with him and find a cab –that’s not happening” Thankfully another person ignores him and gets me on a ADA shuttle where my self and others go to the cab stand.
I did not know this but 5 minutes before I get the shuttle security decides not to let any more cabs into the parking lot. So here I am at cab stand that no cabs are going to be entering . The shuttle driver who said he will wait with me gets called to another person and leaves me alone at the lot.
Luckily I found another couple that also realizes that the cab lot is closed and they know of a lot where we can get Uber. We walk a mile and a half to that lot( a nice traffic cop lets us cut across the street otherwise the walk would have been two miles.
I hope that my experience can be a teaching tool for the ballpark staff-. I work as a disability advocate and happy to provide assistance with access. If you have any more questions please let me know.
Sincerely
Jacob Lesner-Buxton -
That's horrible. The management of Dodger Stadium should do something to make amends. It's up to you, but personally I hope you raise holy hell. It's 2019. They should know better.
