                              I love Paul's rich warm sort of husky Liddypudlian speaking voice, what a treat to hear him recite words of the immortal Bard. High culture from Paul (not THAT "hi hi hi" kind of high, LOL) which might compensate for Macca not playing Romeo in the sixties film classic "Romeo and Juliet" by Franco Zefferelli. Depriving us of seeing that. He probably didn't think it would be fun for him, at the time. The director had wanted Paul to be his Romeo. Or Juliet's, rather. I read somewhere that Olivia Hussey bragged that Paul wanted to marry her or go out with her or something (she was Franco's Juliet in that movie). But right after she boasted about that, he married Linda.

                                Olivia Hussey was 16 when that movie was filmed!! And Leonard Whiting (Romeo) turned 17 during the filming. I had always read that they specifically wanted R&J actors to be the age that the characters were in the story. Paul, at 25 when it was filmed, would have been a tad old. But this does say that he was asked to play the part. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet_%281968_movie%29

                                  Wow, I never knew that! I absolutely love that film, how perfect Paul would have been for the part...a little old for Olivia but I'm sure she wouldn't have minded 😉

                                    I thought this was so informativeas to how William Shakesphere got his pen name title. It was said that everytime the goddees athena would shake her sphere.... Interesting and it goes on about the secret marraige of queen Elizabeth the first. Informative.

                                      Cool butterpie! I don't have time to watch it all right now but I did catch the first 5 min. I wish The Brotherhood of Light would come and let me join them. I remember someone telling me about the goddess Athena would shake her sphere. Paul reading The Two Gentleman of Verona. And so I had to get my Shakespeare book out and read the play the other week to refresh my memory. What a story to happen isn't it? I hope it is recorded so we can all see this, as I surely cannot afford the tickets.

                                        I believe someone will record it somehow. It will probably end up on you tube ... everything else does. I have Shakespere book here. I'm going to look it up.
