i don't get it... what are dogs for

If you have to ask this question, I feel sorry for you. Why does there have to be a direct reason or purpose for anything in life? I could not live without my animal companions. I have nine dogs, most of which are rescued. I'm guessing on these ages because I've had them at least this long. Bo - Fifteen pit bull mix rescued off the street Cricket - thirteen year old rat terrior rescued from an abuser PD - No idea his age. Beagle jack russell mix Wandered on to our farm Red - seven year old lab mix dumped as a pup at our barn Angel - five year old lab golden mix with only three legs. Owner didn't want her Belle - German short haired pointer from neighbor's litter Trinket - Chihuahua rescued from puppy mill Scooter - Welsh Corgi because we love the breed Gwen - Welsh Corgi ditto Then there's six cats, all rescued. One I saved from being euthanized. She was sick and I had to pay two hundred dollars plus adoption fee. They tried to talk me in to a healthy cat but I wanted her. She's my girl and great now! And three horses, two frogs and a beta fish. I love my guys! Please, spay and neuter! And as I said, if you have to ask "why" you just don't get it. Cheers, L

Uh.....I got nothin'. Cheers, L

And instead of "Paperback Writer" I sang different variations: "He's the last rider." "He's a bike rider." "Pay the back rider" Of course, I was just a kid. Cheers, L

On "Jet" I thought they were saying "jest" and I sang the the lyrics as: I made her, one jests to always love me I made her, one jests to always love me I made her, horse trader. So I thought that wasn't right so I changed it to, "heart breaker" instead of "horse trader". And this line: And I thought that the major wasn't a lady, suffer again! Jest! I think I even sang this out loud during a concert! Cheers, L

Yes, Susy, I think it's use in Hollywood is to appeal to a class of people that they feel buys the tickets to the movies. Paul using it was to appeal to those of us who understand the harm certain people can do to the planet. He's not using it to make money. Some of us use profanity as an expletive. It's an expulsion of emotion sometimes. It's use in normal conversation or placid dialogue is just crude. Cheers, L

Well, I guess you never heard "big boys bickering".

You know, I had forgotten about that song and I'll make an exception to it because I feel passionate about the state of the environment too. Should he have used it? Not if it would get the song, thus the message, censored perhaps, but I can understand his passion to use it. Using profanity in a cold manner or to disrespect a race or gender or just to be using it for shock value, is what is disturbing to me and classless. Cheers, L

I'm not sure why an artist would choose in the first place, to use derrogatory language in any form in music or even during a concert. I've never heard Paul swear or say anything of a profane nature, out loud at least, in concert or otherwise. He's got kids and grandkids and I'm sure he wants to set the example. Like I've said before, Paul's a class act and that's why he's number one in my book. Cheers, L

Linda was a great lady and made a huge impact on Paul's life, especially after the Beatles broke up. I like to think of her not only walking with Paul, but watching over all the creatures who have no voice of their own. I miss her. Cheers, L

What? You actually get notices from the website? Sadly I do not though I signed up with two e-mail addressess. One got the canadian notices and for some reason, both got the Band on the Run notice that was just sent, but that is all and I hope it wasn't a fluke.

Let me clarify, I get alerts through the venue where the concerts are held. My alert came from Sprint Center concerts here in my city. I just got one from them the other day giving me the heads up on the upcoming Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets that are coming on sale. It helps. Cheers, L

I've seen Paul "live" four times in my life, twice when he was with the Beatles and twice as a solo performer. I never saw Wings in concert,regretably. Both times the last two concerts tickets went on sale at a certain time and TicketMaster was the only way to acquire them unless you wanted to risk going to the box office day of concert or try to rangle some from a scalper. I am currently registered through the venue here and I get alerts ahead of time. When Paul came here in July, there was an early sale for AmEx card holders. As much as I thought this would help get good seats for four people, it did not unless we wanted to pay $250 each to sit on the floor level. One of us had to sit somewhere else, but that was OK. I do know for a fact, however, that the artists do not control certain aspects of their concert tours. They select cities according to the size of the venue there and then the promoters and venue decide on the ticket prices in accordance to what they need to clear in profit and what the artist is going to get, or so I was told once. The tickets did not go up in price in the span of eight years that I saw Paul. I paid $88.50 per ticket this time and $120 the last time. Seats were relatively the same quality. Side note, I paid, or I should say my Dad paid, $6.50 a ticket to see the Beatles in concert back when I was fifteen. Those were days, right? Cheers, L
