Paul McCartney was reportedly "shaken up" by an incident that happened after a concert in Mexico City. Police had to rescue the former Beatle after a mob swarmed his tour bus.

A source says that even McCartney's security detail thought it was just another ho-hum standard giant crowd enveloping his tour bus until things got out of hand as youths started scaling the bus. It escalated from there as they got on the roof of the bus and started jumping up and down.

The mob dispersed when police were dispatched to the scene. McCartney's management is said to be re-evaluating his security detail.

The default position for entertainers is left wing until they prove otherwise. Ringo will likely not surprise us.

If his bus was headed to the U.S., they better check for stow-aways.
