There was an interview, I believe on MTV, in the 1980s, where Paul did a short rap which started something like this:

"Yo, my name is Paul and I got more money than y'all"

I think I had it on an old VHS tape, but can't find it anymore.

This, right? He's so funny

I just started a free Audible trial so I could get the Hey Grandude audiobook! Should be nice

Along with Back To The Egg, this is at the top of my wishlist for all the remaining albums yet to receive the Archive treatment! I think it's way past due for a reappraisal, and although it's not among my top Paul albums I think many of the songs are brilliant. I LOVE 'Talk More Talk' and I know it's unpopular but in my opinion it's almost a proto-Fireman track, along with the instrumental 'Hanglide', which isn't even available anywhere besides on one of the 'Press' vinyl singles. I think that a nice book in the deluxe edition would help tell the story of the time period, and making-of the album, could go a long way in it being reevaluated and appreciated.

These are so cute!

They closed the hall off early, at 2. They put barricades up and everything is closed off.

A smallish group of us are waiting on more info/news...

I'm here at GCS trying my luck! Got one of those beautiful Egypt Station Metro Cards already

I ordered a copy of the magazine from the UK and should have it within a week or so, hopefully!

I got a Hot Sound VIP ticket in third row center, very happy with it! Actually received the paper ticket in the mail last week and was overjoyed. Usually, they don't send the tickets out until closer to the show but having it in my hands just makes it seem more "real".

Like many others, I never received a code and was put on the waitlist. It was also frustrating not knowing the tiers/type of tickets/prices etc before they went on sale, and I didn't realize one could buy a VIP ticket without a code so I didn't get my ticket until about 1pm after I saw that someone else on here had gotten one. Still, I don't think I missed out on a better seat because I know the 1st and 2nd row center tickets are not sold and are reserved for upgrades, etc. I still feel lucky! With the conversion rate, the ticket is actually ~$600 cheaper than the NYC Hot Sound one I got last year. Good thing too, because I will be needing that 'extra' cash for travel, passport...not to mention the merch!  It'll be so great seeing Paul & band on the first night of this new tour, with the new Egypt Station songs and a completely spoiler-free setlist!
