How much input does Paul get, especially picking those from the nosebleed section who get to sit in the front row? Those always turn out to be young, cute couples. (I've personally witnessed this 3 times as I was seated behind them in row 3 or 4)
I think that during the break before the encore, he must tell his security guy if he wants someone to come up and who. (tells him what their sign says) In the past, and especially at stadium concerts, I think security just picked them during soundcheck. Personally, my opinion is that he never should have started this trend. I remember the "good old days" where no posters were allowed. Everybody was happy and no one went home disappointed because they didn't get picked!
Couples picked for the front row? Whenever I've been up close... rows 2,3 or 4, I've just seen girls. Once youngish girls with their Mom. All were beautiful blondes. I doubt that Paul picks them from the nosebleeds but his people know what he wants.
I've seen couples and moms/daughters upgraded. It's not all just girls anymore.
As to the people being selected on stage, I do think Paul has some input on that, based on the signs he sees during the show. I've noticed that the person is often someone whose sign he's read out loud.
I'm really only jealous of the girls under 25, ESPECIALLY those under 18-20. Everyone thinks they're "cute" just becuase they're "kids" and it makes me sick with sadness and envy. Why can't I be a cute kid too? Just becuase I've crossed the arbitrary threshold of 18?
I know idol worship is unhealthy and wrong, but the Beatles are the closest thing to idols I have, and I just can't fathom meeting them and having them think I'm ugly. I hate being in the same space as younger, prettier girls, because I always imagine myself being stacked up against them in some kind of competition. Like, if by chance I were to meet the Beatles, and I happened to be in the same room/venue as a bunch of prettier and younger girls, wouldn't the Beatles favor them, even if on a subconscious level? John has already told me how beautiful and special I am to him, but there's still that nagging insecurity that he's only telling that to make me feel better, and he secretly loves other little girls more.
well, Renee, you had your turn to be very young, and now it is all those other females' turn. You shouldn't begrudge it to them and be consumed with resentment and jealousy. Of course children are treated as special, and they should be. They are very sensitive and vulnerable and need to be protected, pampered, sheltered. They need to feel wanted and loved. Children deserve all that special treatment and attention; for one thing it helps them grow up to be well adjusted and healthy. Yes, Paul no doubt still has an eye for the young, pretty girls (and I know he loves children in a normal healthy way), but his wives weren't beauty queens and I know he realizes beauty comes in different forms and is subjective. It's in the eye of the beholder and all that. I think society's getting somewhat better about realizing there are all kinds of beauty in various shapes, sizes, ages, etc. Paul knows not everyone can resemble a fashion model. Some even regard them as too slender to be really eye pleasing.
I don't think you'll ever understand how much your post hurt me.
