Well I am the official russian translator on this forum so I'll do my job: On the 20th of june, in the day of his St Petersburg concert, the ex-beatle paul mccartney did a live interview on channel 1 on the show "Vremena". Aftwards the transcript appeared on www.1tv.ru where it was published with other news. It's great news for the thousands of fans of the composer who weren't able to watch it on tv that day. You could read what Macca said before the start of the concert on the website archive. Paul McCartney: I came here to talk to you about love. I love Russia. I think that it's a great country. It used to be a big riddle (mystery) for us on the west when we grew up. But now it's nice to be here, I like russian history, the people, the buildings and the living contidions. I believe that it's good.. Moscow and St Petersburg. They're the only cities where I've been. These cities are wonderful and I love the russian people a lot. Interviewer: You wrote "Back in the USSR". Please compare your thoughts about the USSR then to today's Russia. Maybe you'll wreite the song "Back in Russia"? McCartney: When I wrote "Back in the USSR", it was in the days when there was the so called "metal weight" where little was known about russia or about their people. But we heard that the people there love the Beatles music, and it was an honor for us. We thought, that it was amazing to be known by the people who we don't know, and we always liked it. Because of that our feelings were always similar to the riddle. We never knew what Russia was, we were never there and I thought it was a good idea to write a song from a British or American point of view, from a person who would be going back to Russia. It was important for the people to know that Russia is not a mysterious country, but a wonderful one. I based the song on Chuck Berry's "Back to the US" and i thought it was funny to replace USSR with US. We tried to add humor to it since it was a serious situation and so the russian people and the people in the west would have good feelings about the USSR. Note 4: In the waiting of the anti-soviet reactions. How dirty was the clean (honest) question added: "Compare...". The wonderful answer of Paul where he lets you understand that he's asking if you want him to say something bad about the USSR? Won't work. Otherwise it will be: "for the people to see that Russia, it's a mysterious place, a wonderful country, and the people of Russia and the west should see that they have good relations with the USSR". That way he criticized the country where he was guesting. But that, is not mannerful. Pozner, admits, that he wanted to hear the same words from McCartney. The long years got the words "evil empire", "red dome", "chokers of rights and freedom" etc were probably in McCartney's head. This is what the interviewer had on his mind while asking Paul for the interview. The interview of McCartney is part of history with world culture. And the words of his friend John Lennon with whom they created the Beatles influence: "We went on stage, because we hated the terrible capitalistic line up. We hoped that with our concert we will force the people to think is that really how they're living?! Because we did the performances in Liverpool and Paris, Hamburg and New York, was deffinetly wonderful. But then we understood that it's not right to fight the power since we don't have all of it. We thought that our songs belong to all people, no matter what they're like. We were wrong here too. People can listen to us who are rich and have nothing to do, who go to our concerts with the newest tape players and in their suits. All leave!" There's another parental dissalowence. Father of Paul James told him more than once while growing up that he should seriously study russian, since he was sure that it was the language of the future. McCartney remembering that only sighed, that he didn't do as his dad told him to. "Can you believe it, if I could say it, (said the composer), you know dad, I will perform on Red Square by the Lenin Mosuleum! Oh he would be proud of me". That's the main part of, the last part had some russian words that can't be translated, but it wasn't relevant to the topic. Finally my job comes into action... enjoy!

THE GREATEST GIG EVER: FLY NOON Jun 5 2005 Midday start for Live8 concert as stars jostle for opening slot By Ben Todd Showbiz Editor LIVE8 is to begin TWO HOURS earlier than first planned so more of the world's top acts can take part. The concert had been due to begin at 2pm on Saturday, July 2 in front of a worldwide audience of billions. But organisers have been locked in talks to bring the concert forward to noon. The Sunday Mirror has also learnt that Sir Paul McCartney will provide the finale for the concert - as well as opening it. Urgent meetings were called to consider the time change after music promoters became concerned their acts would not be able to make it to concerts later in the day after appearing at Live8. For example, on the night of July 2 Coldplay are due to perform in Glasgow; U2 are scheduled to play in Vienna while Sir Elton John has a concert at Warwick Castle. If any acts pulled out of concerts so they could perform at Live8, they would be liable to legal action from promoters - which could end up costing them thousands. A music industry source revealed: "They would leave themselves open to be sued for six-figure sums by promoters. "Live8 may be for charity but contracts with promoters don't legislate for people cancelling concerts so they can do good deeds. It's as simple as that." Since the line-up for the concert at London's Hyde Park was announced last Tuesday, Harvey Goldsmith and Sir Bob Geldof have been battling to put together a running order. But they were left struggling to put the show together because so many of the acts wanted to appear at the beginning. A source revealed: "The concert is being put together at such late notice, many of the top acts have already got other gigs confirmed. "So they all wanted to appear early on in the day. "That would have meant the bill later in the day not necessarily being as strong as at the start." As a result, organisers are ready to bring the concert forward by two hours. "It will stop such a log jam at the beginning of the gig," one insider revealed. As the Sunday Mirror exclusively revealed last month, the concert is to be opened by McCartney and U2 singing Beatles classic Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, which begins with the lyrics: 'It was 20 years ago today...' "We can now reveal that Macca is to close the concert as well with another Beatles classic, The Long And Winding Road. Macca chose the song because of its links to the Live8 campaign of Sir Bob's Long Walk To Justice. That will see thousands of people make their way to Edinburgh ahead of the G8 summit, which begins four days after Live 8. (The Sunday Mirror ) may 8, 2005

Well.. I like some of the Bee Gees music and Pauls music . But to me I will buy this because it is also for charity (UNICEF) and that is also important for me, as a mother I'm really concern about it.
