McCartney rocks Israel

McCartney rocks Israel

Whether they were emboldened by Paul McCartney's screw-you-terrorists attitude, overwhelmed by an irresistible desire to hear a park full of people clapping out of time to "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da," or under the mass misapprehension that they were going to see Jesse McCartney, 40,000 people turned up to see the former Beatle's Friendship First concert in Israel's Yarkon Park.

 

The concert had been awash in controversy, with everything from death threats from Palestinian wingnuts to vows of concert disruption from Jewish extremists citing British anti-Semitic elements. McCartney shelled out £1.5 million of his own money for a small "army" of British and Israeli security agents just to be on the safe side, but things  went off without a hitch, and he performed everything from the Fabs' "Hello, Goodbye" to Wings' "Live and Let Die" to John Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance" for an enraptured audience.

No, I'm too. This guy is dead, overwelmed by his own ego. Lennon and Harrison must be "revolving" in the tomb.

You're right, Mundia, I don't know what I must have been thinking by casting aspersions on people who issue death threats to someone for playing music. Mea culpa. By the way, it's "McCartney," not "macartney," and there's only one "e" in "sure."
