        I'm always impressed by the fans in Mexico and in South America. They camp out for days to get tickets. And they always set up these elaborate public thank you's for Paul during the show. It's absolutely lovely. And whenever I watch the videos from his shows there on YouTube, everyone is always on their feet, singing along with him. Pretty cool.

          From what I've seen in U.K. chatrooms and in movies, books and elsewhere, the Brits ( a lot of them, not all, by any means) seem unusually spiteful, jeering, petty-minded and envious at times. I've even heard and read several times that it isn't accepted or the thing to do to be successful in the U.K., you're not supposed to be, or not supposed to make a big show of it, anyway. While in the U.S., more people than not cheer on another's big success and are glad for them. Certainly the most famed celebs such as Elvis are wholeheartedly loved, just about universally beloved in the States, with few or no reservations. We're able to fully appreciate the most deserving stars. We're real good "fans." Somebody like Elvis seems to have the most devoted fans and Paul has fans like that in the U.S. too. Apparently the Latin countries are like that too, able to be "real fans" which is a big part of why Paul prefers to tour there, too and also especially in the U.S.

          Looks like it must be the yoo ess.

            From the news reports of the last few years, and the fans who post here, I have to say the South Americans are the biggest fans. It's still like Beatlemania down there.

                I think there are a lot of TRUE FANS out there in the world, I think the best part about The Beatles and Paul's music in particular is how it transcends culture and language barriers. How it gave hope in the USSR and Beatlemania around the world. Who couldn't love Paul?

                  I agree.

                    knowing several Scottish fans well enough these past few years, I'll agree with you. THey have the fire and passion.
