        We’ve heard #8 a million times. And some of the others are partially incorrect. #7 - never heard that. The story was that he flubbed the guitar solo and John probably laughed.  #11 - he was made an honorary fireman and they gave him a NYFD t-shirt. #12 - debatable. Wikipedia says 2,200 but it could be more like 3,000 covers of Yesterday. #14 - Paul dropped to #2 last year Andrew Lloyd Webber is #1.

          I thought the Guinness Book of Records said Yesterday was the most covered song, with more than 3,000 versions.

An Evening with Paul McCartney - The Joint at Hard Rock - Las Vegas - 4/19/09. Up & Coming Tour - Hollywood Bowl - 3/31/10. Walk of Fame Star Presentation - Hollywood - Feb. 2012.

            Correct - that’s what I was thinking. Ha! This says 7 Million Covers!
