Why do you insist on sending everyone to MSN?

You even post the link as the original source but your link didn’t go there.

When reached for comment, Paul McCartney said, “I could’ve done worse by making Hey Jude even longer but I decided to just let it be.”

lets just say it was not their best work by far. I think Paul pranked him but it was a hit anyway.

Hey,Jude was absolute trash! Their best work was Revolver and Runner Soul...with a few good things done after that.

That was a hilarious movie. A decent comedy will normally elicit an involuntary snort or chuckle from me, but Yesterday is the last movie I saw that actually had me quite literally laughing out loud.
