Interests
Music, of course! I have eccelctic tastes, hard rock to classical...I've written two science fiction novels and am workingon the next one. Painting is a passion, mostly horses or fantasy art, which I sell at science fiction conventions and other places. I love karate, though I can't say the exams to get me to black belt were fun. Gardening is my summer obsession, for the food and the sheer fun of it.
music, karate, science fiction, gardening, family

RE: "Underappreciated Genius."
The "New" album has got to be proof of genius. What a wow it is, just about every song could be a hit. Ok,not under-appreciated by the Grammy people, but we don?t seem to hear a lot of airplay except Queenie Eye and. Maybe New. Or is that because I tend to turn on the classic rock station?

RE: Halifax, NS - Halifax Common - 11th July 2009 - ARCHIVE
I think these concerts affect you for life. I've recently been back to Halifax to take my son to the university near the commons, and the memories flooded back. I saw him in Toronto after, and it was great, but I guess like other important events in life, the first time is special.

RE: Paul Collaborating with Kanye West
About five years ago I was talking to an eight year old girl (from England!) who asked "Who's Paul McCartney?" when his name came up. she was serious.

Novel Sample with Future Animal Park
(Beginning of Chapter Five) In the dim light of a quarter moon, a strange hulk of metal and meat erupted from the cover of trees and darted on mechanical legs through the forest. In a small clearing, a blur of dark figures made their age-old savage response. They nipped at ankles, leaped at the throat, and hauled the strange meal down. At the first light of dawn, a skinny nineteen year-old Dr. David Atland grabbed his veterinarian supplies and opened the gate to slip into the wilderness park. Just inside, he checked that his shock rifle was ready to use, just in case. He expected the wolves had brought down the feeding bot and were satisfied, but he needed to check and record the amount of meat consumed. The beauty of the trail, the peaceful trill of the birds was not lost on him, but he had an empty, almost depressed feeling. Something was missing in his life. This job was why he had graduated last spring, what his parents had supported him for; but he had to admit it wasn?t enough. He resigned himself to telling his parents the bad news ? he wanted to go back to school. The heady adrenaline surges of surgery training were long gone. He needed to go further and spend his life operating; not on animals, even, it wasn?t enough. To hold a human life in one?s hands ? that thought excited him. After recording how much meat the tissue cloning lab should produce for the next wolf meal, Atland strode back to the house with resolve. Sitting down for breakfast, he decided to just blurt it out...

Bowie's "Space Oddity" Cover by Astronaut in Space
Canadian astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield did a really nice cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity." About six million views already after about a day that it's been up.
I love that it was actually filmed in space and sung by a real astronaut. It was just perfect for the occasion. Check out the modifications in the lyrics made by Hadfield "make it so." Ok, I'm a proud Canadian, what do you the rest of you think? -
RE: A Big Thank You From PaulMcCartney.com
I got the "Kisses" download, no problems! It took about an hour and a half, with three year old computer, Windows 7. I put the digital file on a USB stick and put it in the blueray, so I'm watching it on the big screen now. I also loaded the small version for my Android tablet, haven't tried it on it yet. Nice film! Things I'd love to see on the site are: *pay to download any concert that was recorded *messages or quotes from Paul saying what he's up to. *Behind the scenes videos *links to articles in a convenient place *easily accesible store for each country ie to Amazon Canada, and quick overview of everything available to buy listed in one place. *the concert listing of course, and ticket sales.

RE: A Big Thank You From PaulMcCartney.com
Thanks for the website message, I found it when I cliked on the jukebox. I'm puzzled people are saying they got email, I can't find one...I won't worry yet, as I see a post on here with an email. I don't object to doing away with the premium membership. I'd prefer to buy DVDs or downloads or CDs instead of using internet time to stream them, and have to be on-line for content. I do hope lots of content will be avaiable for sale via download. The jukebox was great for having an easy way of seeing all that is available to listen to, and for hearing what I haven't already bought. Once I've bought an album, though, I don't need to use internet time to stream it, so in the long term, I wouldn't need the jukebox once I get all the albums bought. I enjoyed the videos and pics, and news, but as I said, I like to buy and have availavle off-line. I'd llike to be able to load video to my Android tablet to play on long road trips with no internet connection. I didn't like that people were supposed to pay to be able to post a blog on the site - that seemed backwards, magazines pay for good articles and reviews, why would one pay to write them when there are free blog sites like blogger? I wondered if I ever decided to not renew my premium membership, would I then lose access to the blogs I'd written and posted? Anyway, I guess that's moot now. Though I paid, I didn't think it was fair to fans with less money, fans should be fans and be able to all talk to each other, not have some more important than others because they have more money. I asumed, and still assume the webmasters know there were little form boxes that looked like they were for the webmasters to post content. I thought it odd there were there for so long, but it didn't bother me much. But why not hire real website profissionals, who know proper coding, flash, java, C++ etc. instead of (apparently) trying to make a good site out of stock form site templates and features. A website speaks volumes about an artist or company. An artist as innovative as Paul should have a site with unique features. Find some computer genius hacker-types who can get the job done right. I'd love a download of live kisses, sounds fair to me. The plain t-shirt and bundle felt a bit like they were sending out all the stuff that needed to be cleaned out of the store because it wasn't selling as well as other stuff. But it was still nice. Assuming I do get the email and the download, I'd be a happy fan for sure. We were told the site was a beta and they were going to see how paid membership went, so no one should be shocked they decided to ditch the premium feature. I'm relieved, since I can then choose what to buy, and everyone is treated the same.
