I am spending the night at Paul McCartney, a fellow I recall has been in a couple of popular bands over the years.
After tonight, I will have accomplished my goal of seeing almost all the big-4 British invasion bands or key members:
- The Kinks – 1983
- The Rolling Stones – 1989
- The Who – 1989
- Paul McCartney – 2019
And yes – I do have a t-shirt collection that I will be buried in.
I am going off the assumption that this tour will feature many of the songs from previous tours, just with the new stuff in the usual places. For comparison, here is his launch of the “Egypt Station” tour from Grand Central Station.
I should be entertained.

Hey beerguyrob,
Don’t forget Led Zeppelin. The Big Five.
I saw Led Zep in ’77 (my first concert, I was 14), The Kinks twice in ’79 and ’80, and the Rolling Stones in Vancouver in 2006.
Haven’t seen The Who (they’re on tour this summer) nor a Beatle. But I grew up where The Beatles gave their first North American concert (The Coliseum, Washington D.C.).
Hey bgr, you’re a great writer. And you got there by writing. Writers write. I’ve been reading you for years.

No joke. Women’s pro soccer in the U.S. is even better than the USWNT is than the Men.

The concert was fucking awesome. Two & 3/4 hours at 78 years old. I feel both exhilarated & lazy.
Jesus, you look great for 78.

Ah yes, a tribute to Jeffrey Epstein.

I can be there in 45 minutes, let’s go get crunk.
(I am drunk at home and am not going anywhere, but in spirit I would like to have a brew with you)
I would meet you but I’ve been drinking bathroom cleaning products all day and I’m pretty blind right now, and drooling. Don’t worry, I’ll get better (I’ve done this before).
Ok brother, just drink a 2 liter of mountain spring water before bed, and you’re fine.
https://vimeo.com/346678622
I’m just showing you boys the free ones.
At least I think so. I’m still pretty blind from drinking Drano, as noted above.
Ohhhh, Drano. No generic self-abuse for Mr. Big over here.
I saw the Stones/Who at the same time you did (LA Coliseum for both). Also, I am pretty drunk and it’s been a good day. Cheers to everyone here.
The Stones concert (maybe 1988?) featured Living Colour and Guns n Roses opening. Living Colour was the best of the three. They were really really awesome. The end.

CLOSE THE FUCKING WINDOWS i am going to hell perhaps tonite
If only that baby had been a bag of cocaine instead. He’d have damn sure closed the window then.
This song is about a friend dying from cancer, but I’m sorry for your loss tWBS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeGpQDQvkK8
Thank you. He was a good man. One of my best friends. But he didn’t exactly take care of his health.
Now he’s in the ground. Time for me to fly home.
Here you go, hope it’s appropriate

LOL, just saw this after boarding. LMFAO.
It’s always fun when a childhood friend dies of a massive heart attack and leaves behind a wife and two kids.
Life is really beginning to piss me off.

Evening. Vacation coming to an end, and of course our red-eye is delayed 2.5+ hours.
Hey.
Which team moves more like Heather Mills out there?
Shit. Earthquake gol.
Girl, we need to talk buttermilk.
You’re frying chicken?
The bastards earned their fate.
80 th minute. Anyone’s match. About to take a valium. It’s yellow. I hope that’s good news. Go soccer!
When in doubt
Always pill out!
Sorry I cleared the room. Been having that effect a lot lately.
is just late

That led me down a fun rabbit hole.
Baby aspirin starting to string passes together.
Baby aspirin just gave up a GOLDEN chance, but Dead Sea couldn’t slot it home. MLS skill inside the 18, and one-on-one is shit. Other leagues look like a futsal tourney inside the box. We have a LONG way to go.

yuuuuuupppp!
Lonesome Dave.
Holy shit?

Why? This way he can get a full pardon
Is it really surprising given that his private plane, The Lolita Express, has listed two U.S. presidents – Bill Clinton and Donald Trump – on its manifest and that his original sweetheart deal is with the Miami U.S. Attorney who is now Trump’s Labor Secretary, Alex Azar?
It’s time for nooses.
Do they even show women’s games on tv? Because it’s always been way more fun to watch the Thorns than Timbers or Timbers 2 play.
Scoreless at the half, Hippo. Your goalie looks like Albert Belle’s mugshot on Redd Foxx’s body. The stadium frames the brown hills of San Jose beautifully. What mountain range is that?
Hippo didja bet on the Cavs?
nope, was too slow
Dead Sea pressure continues. Another quality chance hissed by the same post.
1st decent scoring chance to dead sea. Quality header snapped wide of far post.
trying to get to 30′ before I put insurance bet on LA
What’s the formula for the live insurance bet?
all feel, but when I think the odds are close enough. Here, I bet on SOMEONE getting a 2nd first half goal at -114. About 3 mins before LA scored. WHEW. Now I am “house money” the rest of the way. Which I will take, since these were crazy bets to make.
Have a buddy that can do what you do. Do you play the horses at all?
nae, I find horseys confusing
I see what you did there!
I wonder what sort of treatment being a trafficker of underaged prostitutes will earn Jeffery Epstein in the sort of prison he’s going to? Probably free drink tickets on Casino Night.
I hope he drags many people down with him. But I’d also be happy if he only dragged down one specific person.
You think he’s why Dershowitz became what he is now?
San Jose dominating possession early. No quality chances yet, tho.
Okay, so the chicken was a flavorless dud. It wasn’t terrible, just lame. I hope I learned something.
Let’s go ahead and make it better.
holy cats, the Whiteheads scored!!
Hippo, I get both games. Want me to keep an eye on one while you watch t’other?
sure thing! Pick your poison LMAO
I’ll watch salt lake. Keep you posted.
/yes I know moose is busting my balls?
the VAN Whiteheads are an extreme longshot bet
Haven’t watched any MLS. Sort of ashamed of that. I know they can’t compete with the big boys, but how does this league compare internationally? Complete embarrassment?
It’s somewhere between Championship and League One calibre (compared to English footy). Bad.
Oof.
A repeat, but god damn it.
Thanks for that added time goal, Lesser SeaTruthers. Hippo NEEDED that.
fuck you, YOU have a problem
Any action in the 10:30 slot?
Lesser Canucks HT and FT (win or draw on latter), Lesser Big Love (FT win). Betting on MLS is a perfectly sane and rational financial strategy.
I hope her phone was ok.
I thought it was a cigarette.
Thoughts and prayers.
UK Ambassador to US called the American President inept and incompetent. Any other time that would be the greatest diplomatic incident since the Trent Affair of 1861. Today’s time, it’s hardly newsworthy.
He was just negging Britain for not having invented aircraft yet by 1776
Our entire system of government is now a permanent pile of smouldering rubble. He has single-handedly destroyed the concept of truth. This is exactly what he wanted to do. He will float down into Saudi Arabia on the most golden of parachutes, consequence free, for the remainder of his gilded life. Sounds pretty competent to me.
It’s was already that way. He simply pulled back the curtain, like Toto did to the Wizard of Oz.
There was some intelligence mixed in; they’ve now replaced it with stupid, and kleptocracy ….. don’t forget the new brand of kleptocracy, on sale now.
Madeline the musical turned out much better than expected.
Hey kids; it’s The Mistress Rodger Show
I want to make Moroccan chicken in the Instant Pot tonight, but every recipe has like forty ingredients which I don’t currently have and am not willing to go out and get (exotic stuff like “carrots”). So I think instead I’m going to dump the chicken thighs and a bunch of random spices all in together and see what happens.
I should co-op my spice cabinet. I was looking for tarragon today and found (2) TWO bottles of cardamom.
grumble grumble tell me more about this cardio-mom grumble grumble
Many Moroccans are very brave.
If I just didn’t have to have a job, I could get used to this #BFIB West Coast stuff. Mid-afternoon naps are awesome, as long as you don’t need to go to sleep by 11 in order to get up by 6:30-7 the next day.
Starting soon, I will be teaching you how to live the #hobohighlife
Fucking rain. I was looking forward to watching Thor v. Harper, Fox regional switches to Bastard Man Small Bears/ThanksObama!!111 instead. BOO
Hot Taek: most of Paul’s post-Beatles stuff is cringingly self-indulgent, disgustingly twee or both.
true taek. Plus I find him personally quite annoying.
I personally feel that Heather Mills is a real stick in the mud.
ah hell, I forgot to mock your Los Gigantes. But it seems mean, that roster is just so very sad.
Yeah it is pathetic. Will be for awhile.
Yeah but her retired military father certainly does make good cereal.
He needed John’s edge to keep him in track. Still would see the legend though, in spite of silly love songs.
Mentions British Invasion bands, but doesn’t include The Turtles.
Pet peeve:
Why did they change the title of Scrotal Recall to Lovesick?
TOTAL BS!
Remember, when Sir Paul performs them, they’re McCartney / Lennon songs.
also yell Hey Paul, wha happen with that one-legged gal you wuz bangin’?
Paul found someone else to fill her shoe.
oh fuck a duck, that is AWESOME
