McCartney sent him the Irish wolfhound to keep him company.

Paul McCartney might just be the nicest guy in the world.

Yep, Paul is a nice guy unless he knows you're a Republican.
When that happens, his inner Libtard comes out.

Remember his wisecrack at the Obama White House about President Bush? He's nothing but another smug Obama Commie Loving Liberal A Hole to me.

i guess i don’t judge people by their politics, esp if they show that they are human beings.

It wasn't Politics, it was a personal insult towards former President Bush by a Limey Bastard that moved here to avoid paying high Tax Rates in his Native Country.

Coo coo cuchoo...

Adding to my previous Post, Sir Paul made the comment while he was a guest in the People’s House. Screw him.

"I like country now."

Probably because most of the popular music now is awful.

He must have met Frank Sinatra around 1941. By that time, he had several hits as a band vocalist, including The Call of the Canyon by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra (1940). He had his first hit under his own name--his version of Night and Day, a remake of Leo Reisman's hit from December, 1932.

Sinatra was a jerk. I play his LPs backwards just for s**ts & giggles. Cost a quarter each on eBay, too much IMO.

Are you saying that it is a patriotic duty to pay high taxes?

Talk about jumping to conclusions.
How you came up with that idea is beyond my comprehension.

I was commenting about a Limey Bastard who was invited to the People’s House, given the Highest Civilian Honor by the fist Marxist President and then proceeds to personally malign former President Bush during his Acceptance Speech.

The fact that he fled England for the safer Tax Haven of the United States of America while promoting Politicians who would be orgasmic should the United States become a mirror image of European Socialism is rich in its irony.

Try again...

Fine. None of what you’ve now explained was in the text or subtext of your initial comment.

"He was very nonmaterialistic," Levine said of Hendrix. "With all the money he had he still lived very peasant-like."

As non-materialistic as someone living in Mayfair can get...

London exhibition marks 40th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death (in Mayfair Handel House flat)

My original Post #6.

I have no idea what that has to do with your comment that I think Paying Taxes is Patriotic.

My issue is McCartney's hypocrisy and his bad manners.

Perhaps another FReeper can explain what I'm missing here.

I get your point, but the matter is not worth pursuing further .
