Joe,

Are you sure about that? My favorite artists are languishing in obscurity.

Amen, David! Real talent will always attract real attention from real crowds. And no one has to pick up a phone to "vote" for Sir Paul (he IS,"Sir," isn't he??)

** Just finished watching an astounding web-only video of a true legend -- former Beatle Paul McCartney performing a seven-song, 35- minute set late yesterday afternoon/evening on top of the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater in NYC, attracting thousands on the streets near Broadway and 52nd.

** Two songs NOT in the streaming video below (Get Back and Sing the Changes) -- were integrated into the Letterman show itself, where he was last night's solo guest. What's striking about the video: 1) the crowd reaction, filled with a mix of young and old, many watching from the windows of nearby high-rises and, 2) at age 67, Sir Paul still has a vigorous ability to churn out "lesser tunes" from his legendary songbook in a way that's entertainingly RAW, away from the antiseptic effects of a recording studio. Full circle with the Beatles in 1964 at the Ed Sullivan Theater -- and back to the same theater in 2009; I think it's pretty amazing.
