Man rides on train shock!

"The new album will come on the heels of the biggest success of their career – the quintuple-platinum 2016 single "Black Beatles," featuring Gucci Mane, which topped the Hot 100 for seven weeks, soundtracked the viral "mannequin challenge" and earned an endorsement from none other than Paul McCartney, who's name-checked in the lyrics and who uploaded his own version of the challenge, posing motionless at a piano while the song played. "I actually met him years ago at Coachella," Swae says of McCartney. "I ran into him backstage. I don't think he knew our music, but he was chitchatting with us, dropping all this game, telling us to stay true."

High Times With the Black Beatles: Inside Rae Sremmurd's Wild Third Album

 

Years ago, when I created this thread, I hoped there might be the kind of earth-shaking news bulletin that would justify its existence. I'm very pleased to say that moment has come. In this month's always-enlightening "You Gave Me The Answer", "Ted from Australia" asks Paul whether he believes in fate or destiny. Paul responds with sort of a combination answer that states "a mixture of fate, destiny, luck, magic and hard work" are what he believes in.

And then, in a stunning reveal, Paul talks - for the first time, I believe - about how one of his better known songs came to be. STOP what you're doing and read this revelatory news item (linked above) asap!

 

I can't believe it was THAT song ... Please, no more questions. Just coloring pages...

 

Fate: "That Was Me"
Destiny: "Hope For the Future"
Luck: "With a Little Luck"
Magic: "Magic" (of course)
Hard Work: "We Got Married" ("She's Leaving Home"?)

 

Fate: "Live & Let Die"
Destiny: "Hope Of Deliverance"
Luck: "Things We Said Today" ("...Me, I'm just the lucky kind ...")
Magic: "Magical Mystery Tour"
Hard Work: "We Can Work It Out"

 

Thanks a lot, Jinksy. Shame to think I will never get back the 15 seconds it took me to peruse that answer. Somebody needs to reassign Stuart Bell, or whoever is responsible for these "fun" little nothings we get. Sheesh.

 

Drat. I was hoping Paul had taken another train ride or something similar news to brighten our miserable daily existences.

 

If one day the "You Gave Me the Answer" feature on McCartney's official site produces even a minor revelation, it will be mentioned in this thread, the McCartney new album thread, the McCartney reissues thread, the other McCartney reissues thread, the McCartney tour thread, and it will be the subject of several new threads.

It's safe to ignore it until then.

 

45 Years Ago: Wings Fall Apart After 'Red Rose Speedway'

 

Never really thought about it before, but Paul was trying to go from the rushed and rough Wild Life right into a double album. That would have been quite a feat.

 

You're both wrong. Any true McCartney fan knows the answers:

Fate: Yesterday ("a shadow hanging over me")
Destiny: Yesterday ("[my troubles] are here to stay")
Luck: Yesterday ("an easy game to play")
Magic: Yesterday ("hide away")
Hard Work: Yesterday ("mm mm mm mm mm mm mm")

 

I bet that came to you in a dream.

 

Wow, they keep on doing these stupid things, unbelievable! Such a waste of time. Maybe someday we will get a real great interview.

 

Hmm....

"After I had heard Wild Life, I thought, 'Hell, we have really blown it here.' And the next one after that, Red Rose Speedway, I couldn't stand."

Doesn't bode well for a pair of Archive releases...

But then again, that quote was from The Beatles: Off the Record 2, published in 2002 but who knows when the interview was from? Anyone?

It's possible that his perspective has shifted again in the last 15 years... After all, some random guy liked it.

And if any of the feedback from this forum reaches him, who knows...?

 

1977.

 

Macca just announced for Austin City Limits fest!

 

ACL Music Festival

 

Good Lord, is there anyone NOT playing this festival? But what I want to know is why Lisa Loeb is in tiny print at the bottom of the page. She's surely a bigger star than half the acts listed here, a recent Grammy winner to boot. What goes?

 

I like the band name "Trampled By Turtles".

 

That's probably how Lisa Loeb feels. Nice name maybe but how many No. 1 hits have they produced?

 

Delivered by Yaks - that would be my band name if I had one!

None - they haven’t come out of their shells yet!

I checked flights and hotels a couple of weeks ago to see if it was worth seeing Paul here. I think I'll hold tight and wait for indoor shows. Outdoor GA festivals hold no allure for me
