@fast-city-line I’ve only been around here since 2011 (the site has been here since 2002) but I remember someone somewhere, either here or on FB comparing Paul to Angela Lansbury. I may have even seen the Craig Ferguson (not Kilborn) show. Found this with quick Google search:

Apr 30, 2009 — On the Late Show With Craig Ferguson, Shirley Manson simply can't get out of her head that Paul McCartney looks like Angela Lansbury.

And this:

Oct 12, 2022 — "Do we have a picture of Paul McCartney" (Craig Ferguson's long-running joke about Angela Lansbury)

Yeah, Ferguson did it also, but Kilborn as far as I know started that comparison (he preceded Ferguson as host of that same show).

Oh! I didn’t realize Ferguson took over for Kilborn.

Yeah, Kilborn "retired" early. On his last show in 2004, he opened a $1,000 bottle of whiskey and shared it with his last guest (whom I can't remember and can't find online)

@njr Yes, a comma there would have been most economical.

The phenomenon of the fan club, or even of just fans, sociologically is interesting. There probably were many different varieties, ranging all over the spectrum from very well organized with regular meetings, down degrees of less organized, all the way down to individuals or maybe a high school circle of friends who like to read a teen magazine once in a while together in the lunchroom.

As a young teen I subscribed to 16 Magazine, but would also buy others if they had a particularly good photo of The Beatles on the cover, like Tiger Beat or whatever. I have tons of magazines in my “Beatles Room!” The old ones are in large plastic containers and the newer ones like MOJO and Uncut are on display. I’ve run out of room in there, so need to get some other shelving for books or the tilted kind for magazines in my mom’s old room. I have a hope chest she gave me FULL of Beatles-related books and magazines I haven’t had time to read! 😂

Cool!😎
