Hey, Me and The Gang at the zoo have decided that if there is no change in the setlist this year, we are going to have a Tea Party! Yup, we are gonna throw "English Tea" into the Boston Harbor! Who's in with us?!!! Podgie (revolutionary) Monkey
Wasn't it 2009 that you did the buttons for a change in the setlist? At that time I had said to throw some up onstage. I sure wish you would have.
Button Campaign didn't work. Got about as much change as Obama gave us. Thinking we got to be more radical. Yup, throwing "English breakfast Tea" off a ship in Boston Harbor will get more attention. Podgie (it worked once before I hear) Monkey

This Boston Tea Party idea just isn't gonna work either. Just no support from the Forum. Like all my good ideas. Ya know, even the other monkey's here changed their minds about it. When I first mentioned it, they were all excited, then when I started talking about it they all look at each other puzzled and confused. They expected a different Tea Party.

Thinking about you guys today.
Makes me second guess taking the green line in to Fenway...may just find a place to park a fair distance away and foot it. The last time I was at Fenway was the last time Paul was there (also caught a Redsox game earlier that year)...and after the event, there area hundreds (make that thousands) of people lining up down into the subway (Kenmore and Fenway Green line trains)...to me that's too 'prime' of a terrorist hit spot for my liking... Conversely, I hope this doesn't dissuade Paul from coming, since he actually has cancelled a concert in the not too distant past (aka since the 'my band' era) due to a (then) recent terror attack...

PS - but we do appreciate your concern (sincerely - it's weird just being around here today, even without being involved...we could use all the good positive thoughts)

On a happier note, tomorrow is the day we can officially print out our tickets (per the Amex pre sale)
-
we're all thinking of our friends in Boston.. this makes me very sad.. ops: ops:
-
Senseless act. My best wishes go to the people of Boston and those directly affected. However, does this mean a "postponement" or cancellation of the upcoming show? Surely Paul wouldn't think of such a thing. Oh wait a minute. That's what he did in 2002. He didn't think it would be wise to be seen having fun after the bombing in Bali killed over 80 Australians. Hypocrite!
-
The show is still a few months away. I'm thinking/hoping it's a bit too far away to go cancelling it.

Provided ticket sales are strong he won't cancel the show. If not and he decides to cancel, he'll have an excuse to use (as he did here).

Show sold out in 5 minutes, fastest sellout in fenway park history. So I guess that excuse is out the window.

Remember Madrid 04? He played there soon after a tragedy. Of course that concert was fully subscribed. Seemingly only when his ticket sales are slow, does he fall back on a tragedy...as an excuse. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/10/27/1035683303017.html

And I want to add my best wishes too, to all the Bostonians and others directly affected. Thinking of you here...Melbourne is Boston's "sister city" so our ties are close.

Not to mention that he organized the Concert for NYC right after 9/11. Paul will want to go to Boston after this... there's no way he'll cancel, as it's not in his nature.

Boston Loves Macca! Podgie (terrorists won't rule our lives!) Monkey

Yes he has sold out.........to the almighty dollar!

I don't go to work for free. Why should Paul?

There's a difference between working for a living and someone with a billion dollars in the bank. McCartney doesn't need to work for a living, he chooses to and he engages in producing an art form. Of course he should expect to be remunerated for doing so. That's not my point. To continually say he wants to play places that he hasn't before and then consciously decide to always play to the Americas smacks of doing so for money and/or pandering to his ego. Ergo, he's sold out to the almighty dollar. His choice of course but that doesn't mean we all have to agree with it. Sorry to reply to your post, contrary to your instructions but you did ask me a question.

McCartney changed after Linda died. Ever since then he's been a markedly different man. I will not go into it here, but I'm sure you know what I mean Graystoke...
