Paul McCartney, as you know, is on tour in North America, and people like Justin Bieber, Rihanna and others should take note of this. Not only will Paul be on time for tonight's gig in Quebec, but the former Beatle and Wings star is making it a very special night for literally hundreds of people. He and his entourage set aside 1 thousand tickets for the show for people in Lac Megantic, who's lives were turned upside down by the train disaster earlier this month. It all stemmed from a suggestion by the promoter, which was quickly agreed to by the star and his group.
900 people gave taken McCartney up on the offer. And they will have transport as well. Several busses have been chartered to take fans to and from the concert tonight. They'll be in the "general admission" section behind the zone at the front of the stage. And no, they won't get to meet Paul, although he's indicated he'll say something to the crowd about the disaster during the show.
And if that's not enough, the promoter also collected 5 grand from a Bruno Mar's show and donated it to the towns recovery fund.
Class all the way!
'Nuff said.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy, and are maybe infuriated by, my somewhat irreverent take on world news and events, and the people who make and shape them. I hope we can share a laugh, and maybe provoke a thought, about what's happening "out there".
