Hey Jude is one of the greatest songs ever written. Hey Jude is of the best concert songs. The only thing old and stale is someone who suggest Paul stop playing this song. Try dropping some acid at your next Paul concert and then come tell me how great Hey Jude is. I'll be right here.
Gosh, you're angry. I said I love Hey Jude, it's been my ringsignal ever since I got the possibility to tap it into an electronic tune on one of my first mobiles about 18 years ago. Now I have the man himself singing to me, of course. What I said was that the chorus has lost some of its spontaneity, and maybe another song could be let in to do the honours of the last encore? Why not start the gig with Hey Jude instead and let the audience hang onto the chorous at its own pace and for as long as it wishes .... And by the way - when I go, they'll have Paul to sing Hey Jude at my funeral, that's how much I love that tune, so I hope that settles it!
