My biggest regret in my life is never having seen the Beatles in concert! I couldn't get tickets to see them at Boston Garden, plus my family was really strict and wouldn't have let a 14-year-old girl go all the way to Boston to see a rock & roll concert. As far as loitering outside the gate, I really wanted to do that but by the time I got out of school I was working and had no time/money. That's the way it goes, I guess!

RE: Out There Memories
Last year I saw a photo of him, I think it was in Omaha, sitting on a park bench next to Warren Buffet! He loves to walk around and get the "feel" of places. When he's in New York City, he takes the bus everywhere. I saw him on Jimmy Fallon's show and he was talking about it. When Jimmy asked him if he wasn't a bit nervous about people mobbing him, he said they don't -- but some people do come over to say hello. I'm just glad for him that he finally has more freedom than he did as a Beatle!

RE: Out There Memories
I had to chuckle when I read your reply! You and I seem to be kindred spirits, although I'm a bit older than you In February 1964 I was 14 (the famous Ed Sullivan Show appearance) and I was blown away by the Beatles and so was everyone else I knew. It didn't take me long to realize that Paul was the "special" one - to me, anyway - and I've been wanting to get a hug ever since. I did tell someone recently that I'm surprised I haven't actually run into him yet - nearly every place he visits, he goes strolling around the town, unafraid of mobs anymore and actually enjoying the experience of touring. So one of these days I fully expect to run into him on the street somewhere!! Then, perhaps, my dream of a hug will be realized. Until then, I'll just have to worship him from afar... LOL

Out There Memories
The "What's That You're Doing" newsletter asked fans to post memories from the Out There tour. Just wanted to note that my husband, daughter, son-in-law and I saw Paul last summer at Fenway Park in Boston. What a show! I've seen Paul several times but my daughter sprung for tickets in the 8th row from the stage -- to me, up close and personal. There's nothing like seeing him at a close range, because sooner or later he meets your eyes and it happened in the latter part of the show. Made me feel that he "knew" I was there to see him, even though he doesn't know me from a hole in the wall! I would have liked to buy VIP tickets because I've wanted to go backstage to actually meet Paul for most of my adult life (since I was 14 in 1964 actually), but I'm a poor working stiff and $1500 a pop (and up) is a bit much! Anyway, he rocked Boston for at least three hours, and I was so surprised when he started with Junior's Farm because I hadn't seen him perform that one before. He also talked during the show, I remember one instance when he talked about the signs people were holding. He said when you're a performer you tell yourself not to read the signs, because you have to concentrate on the chords you're playing and the words of the song -- but your eyes keep going to those signs and you just can't help reading them! Then they showed some of the signs on the big screens. One of them simply said "The Person Behind Me Can't See Anything" and I cracked up when I saw that! I wanted to bring a sign that said "I'm 64 and I STILL need you!" but my daughter said she wouldn't sit with me if I did that... LOL I doubt I'll go see Paul again, I couldn't possibly afford seats closer than that. I've been spoiled!
