HIGH IN THE CLOUDS / ONLINE STORE OFFER / US TOUR HIGH IN THE CLOUDS "I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. As a child, I read Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson with great enjoyment and was transported from Liverpool to a tropical isle. More recently, I've enjoyed reading Dickens, catching up on his many great works - my favourite so far being Nicholas Nickleby. But the book I'm most excited about is High In The Clouds!? Paul McCartney Imagine a land where all the animals are free . . . To the creatures of the woodland, the land of Animalia sounds like a dream ? a tropical island where all the animals live in harmony. They are over-shadowed by a much more evil community: the polluted Megatropolis, whose dirty skyscrapers block the horizon. And then one day, Wirral the Squirrel?s woodland is destroyed by developers and he is thrown into the nightmare world of Megatropolis. But Wirral believes in Animalia and he joins with Froggo, a world-class amphibian balloonist, and Wilhamina, a girl squirrel, to lead the enslaved animals of the city to a new life. So begins an exciting adventure through the mean streets of Megatropolis, over the sea and through the sky. High in the Clouds has developed out of an exceptional fusion of talents, and the result is a book that will delight children of all ages and is sure to become an enduring classic. Paul McCartney?s lifelong interest in children?s storytelling grew out of his childhood love of classic Disney. He has created a number of animated films in collaboration with Geoff Dunbar, including Rupert and the Frog Song, which won a BAFTA for best animated short film of the year. His recent animated releases have included Daumier?s Law, which won a BAFTA for best short animated film, Tropic Island Hum and Tuesday. Geoff Dunbar, the artist who has created the illustrations for this book, is one of the world?s finest animation directors. Among his many awards for film and television Geoff has received two BAFTAs, a Palme d?Or at Cannes, a Golden Bear at Berlin, a Grand Prix at Ottawa and La Spiga d?Ore at Valladolid. Philip Ardagh is a bestselling children?s author whose books have received widespread critical acclaim throughout the world. His best-selling Eddie Dickens trilogy, currently translated into over 25 languages, is in the process of being developed into a major film for Warner Bros.

Makeup artist has artificial brush with fame Susan Berger Published October 21, 2005 Fay Wypiszynski, owner of Feya Cosmetics in Glencoe, knows Paul McCartney is an animal-rights activist. So she went to the United Center to do his concert makeup Wednesday armed with artificial brushes (no squirrel hair!) and makeup that hadn't been tested on animals. She even left her leather handbag behind. Wypiszynski, 43, hired through "fortuitous connections," told McCartney that the powder she was using was even kosher. "That pretty much covers everything then," McCartney quipped, she said. Afterward Wypiszynski said: "He looks great, he's adorable. I would have told him that but I didn't want to appear too dumbstruck." She did giggle and blush, however when she pointed to her left cheek, which she said McCartney kissed. Chicago Tribune

Sir Paul takes a lap through great songs Paul McCartney showcased his deep and rich catalog of songs in the 2-hour and 40-minute show. It made for a fun, if a bit uneven, concert. Jon Bream, Star Tribune Last update: October 27, 2005 at 10:44 AM In 1965, Bob Dylan went electric with "Like a Rolling Stone." The Rolling Stones sang about getting no satisfaction. And the Beatles made their only Minnesota appearance at Met Stadium in Bloomington. Forty years later, Dylan, the Stones and Paul McCartney, the most important surviving Beatle, all performed in the Twin Cities -- the first year that has ever happened. "All three of them in the same year, it's pretty remarkable," Bob Pratt, 51, a Minneapolis grade-school teacher who attended all three shows, said before McCartney's show Wednesday at Xcel Energy Center. "In 1965 when I saw the Beatles at Met Stadium and the baseball All-Star Game and the World Series, I asked my dad if we could see them again next summer," Pratt recalled. "My dad looked at me: 'I gotta tell you pal that that doesn't happen every summer. That was a special time.' " So was 2005, said Pratt, who took his 16-year-old son, John, to see "the three pop music icons of the century." When McCartney took the stage Wednesday, it "sent a shiver down my spine," Pratt said. "I felt like I was in the presence of immortality." Said John Pratt: "It's almost impossible for me to fathom that one man wrote all of these classic songs." McCartney performed 37 songs over 2 hours and 40 minutes. It was a marathon that felt like a victory lap. While it was a victorious showcase for the singer-songwriter's deep and rich catalog of songs, it was far from a great concert. No one expects McCartney, 63, to have the boundless energy of Mick Jagger or the snarly attitude and musical restlessness of Dylan. To be sure, Paul was his usual playful, eternally cute self, hamming it with a little dance here, a quip there and more post-song big bows than Neil Diamond takes. But this oddly paced nostalgia-fest lacked immediacy and importance. It wasn't nearly as fulfilling or fun as McCartney's similar 2002 concert. Back then, his young band sparked him and the inventive visuals energized the evening and added wow! By contrast, the band -- the same four guys -- didn't provide much of a spark this time, especially in the first half. However, what did have a spark was McCartney's solo stuff on piano and acoustic guitar. He dusted off the first song he ever recorded with the pre-Beatles Quarrymen in 1958, "In Spite of All the Danger," a hillbilly with a hiccup number that suggested both Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly. Then he alternated Beatle classics with tunes from his commendable new CD, "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard." The oldie "I Will" was as sweet and unassuming as the ensuing new "Jenny Wren," which took on a gypsy-like feel thanks to Paul Wickens' accordion. It was obvious that McCartney was in a groove for "For No One" and "Fixing a Hole." Even the twee new "English Tea" seemed to fit, especially after the singer explained the arcane word "peradventure" (meaning perhaps) that he used and encouraged everyone to try using it tomorrow. Oddly, the number that seemed to set up this successful solo sentimentality was the night's unexpected cover, "Til There Was You" from "The Music Man." The Beatles actually recorded it in 1963 and used to play it in cabarets back then. In St. Paul, Sir Paul pulled off this standard (the "smoochy stuff," he called it) with his inimitable mix of sincerity and hamminess. It was a left-field highlight. After McCartney's solo excursion, he and his band seemed to get in the groove; of course, it helped that the final 75 minutes were pretty much nonstop Beatles classics and other McCartney hits. Wings' "Band on the Run" energized all five musicians and all 18,117 concertgoers. The band rocked out on a raucous "Back in the USSR," a foot-stomping "Get Back" and a suitably chaotic "Helter Skelter." Sandwiched in there was a solo acoustic guitar rendition of "Yesterday" that was undermined by synthesized strings by Wickens. (Synthesized horn and string parts also detracted from various other hits including the string-smothered "Long and Winding Road" and "Got To Get You Into My Life.") In the end, when he closed with a medley of "Sgt. Pepper" and "The End," it was clear that McCartney, like an experienced marathoner, had saved his strongest effort for the final stretch. Then he deserved to take a big bow.
