Tattoo signatures - yay or nay?
-
Hi John~
I had a silly sign signed in what 2004- but never met him~ so I think it's quite personal with the skin-agraphs!~ 
-
Hi Harleyblues, guess you aren't in Philly for the next show? Me, I am stuck here at home!
-
I like the tattoo, but it's not something I would ever do again for any reason, unless I met Paul again, lol. I'd love to have Paul autograph Blackbird Singing, as I'm a book person, but he doesn't really seem to sign inanimate objects unless you catch him in the street or at a formal signing, and I never seem to be where he is, unless I and my 17,000 friends buy a ticket. wink

I imagine so!!!! What an experience, and to think it happened less than 24 hours after the Loose Moose gathering, little did I think ( I don't know about you two) that Jen, whom I had just met, would be meeting Macca 24 hours later! The Moose is a luck place to eat, I guess.

cept it didn't happen for me...

Well..we all knew I'd chime in here eventually, right? First of all - don't worry about offending...this is an open forum and we all have a right to our own opinions. Plus - when it comes to meeting Paul - no one will be able to offend me.
Now, I have mixed feelings about this in a way. For one, I OBVIOUSLY feel it's fantastic because it allowed me to meet my idol. It was literally one of the two happiest moments in my life and I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING else. A few times I've thought maybe it is beginning to happen too often and it can make it seem a little less special. But then I really start thinking about it and the word "often" seems silly in this context. Thousands and thousands of people are at each show. I was called up in front of approximately 18,000 people in Nashville alone. At least half of which would have given anything to be in my shoes. So...once I let that sink in, I begin to realize how special it really is. As far as if it's fair that he chooses some, and others are left disappointed. Well...it is fair. It sucks (especially for fellow boardies who feel the same about him as I do), but it's Paul's choice in the end. It's not like he can stop the show and say, "OK - everyone who wants an autograph, come on up!" But - I certainly give a big "yay" as my vote. I hope he continues this phenomenon, in hopes that people like Harleyblues and BarbB have their moments. They deserve them as much as anybody! -

yeah, I mean why question it. ?? It's very cool and I can't express how cool enuff it is.. how often do u get the oppurtunity to meet Paul McCartney? You meet Paul , you're shaking in your shoes, you get that awesome autograpbh & the crowd goes wild!!!! and incredible experience~ PRICELESS!

The problem I have with it is that you generally have to be a young blonde woman and you have to be down front. That often means you have paid big bucks to be down front. Nobody else has a shot at it. Audrey stood in line forever to get down front in Quebec to get hers. I can't get close enough to even get an album signed. If Paul is going to continue this, I wish he would call a 1st generation fan up there and a man.

Next time, I'm bring a sign that says "Let me sing a duet with you and knock your socks off".

Blonde? Yes, I'm blonde...but Audrey isn't. Neither is Walliebaby. I haven't gone back to look at the video again, but I'm pretty sure the girl's arm he signed in Puerto Rico was a brunette. Kind of a generalization to say young AND blonde.. Also, while I think it would be FANTASTIC if he called a "1st generation" fan up on stage, I'm not sure I understand the need to segregate fans (1st generation, young, men, women, etc.) in the first place. This man is legendary, and we're ALL fans of his. The only reason I wasn't a fan in 1964 is because I wasn't even thought of - my parents were 7 years old! I don't feel someone older than me is automatically more of a fan of his (and, yes, I know you didn't say that - and this isn't directed at just you). I've just read a lot of things about me (especially comments on pictures I didn't even post of me on stage - on Facebook) that basically say that I was called on stage because I'm young and blonde. My thinking is: Perhaps Paul is calling younger people on stage because he likes feeling that he's still relevant - even with those who weren't around to witness Beatlemania. Maybe in a way he expects those who've been lucky enough to witness his entire career in real time to be his fans, but it's something special to see those who were born in the 80s, 90s, etc. admire him so much. Just a thought. Off my soapbox now.

Well said.
