Hi Kent,
On Sunday (9/9) you wrote:
>>>Macca’s new
“Egypt Station” CD hit the streets on Friday (September 7th) and Paul has been all over the
place promoting it. (The McCartney Media
Blitz is on and in full force! In fact,
I can’t remember this kind of heavy saturation for a new McCartney product in
YEARS!!!) Watch this album come in at #1
next week!!! (kk)
The official numbers won’t be in until this coming weekend, but all
indications are that “Egypt Station” will debut on the Billboard 200 at #2,
behind “Kamikaze” by Eminem (which will likely spend a second consecutive week
at #1). If it does debut at #2, it will be McCartney’s highest charting
album of new material since 1997’s “Flaming Pie” album, which also debuted at
#2 (his 2001 greatest hits release “Wingspan” also peaked at #2).
McCartney hasn’t had a #1 solo effort since 1982’s “Tug Of War”, which spent 3
weeks at #1. Still, a #2 debut would be pretty impressive. The Macca
media blitz has certainly paid off.

Pretty
amazing, really! How many other 76 year
olds are topping the charts these days?
His career’s been going strong for nearly 60 years now. (I guess George
Harrison was right when he introduced McCartney on stage to sing “Yesterday”
alone during a Beatles appearance … “Opportunity Knocks!”) Wouldn’t it be something if “Fuh You” started
working its way up the charts?!?! (kk)
As alluded to a couple of weeks ago,
Paul’s recent need to reveal his old sexcapades continues … this week with a
much-quoted story from an interview he recently did with GQ Magazine revealing
that he and John Lennon (and a few other friends) used to masturbate together
as teenagers.
Now for those of us who have
followed Beatles folklore for decades and hung on every word, this really isn’t
a new story … Lennon himself used to talk about it some 40-50 years ago … but
why Paul would feel the need to drudge it up again NOW while he’s out and about
pushing his new album is beyond me.
Under clever headlines ranging from
the obvious (“Come Together”) to the slightly more clever (“Beat The Meatles”),
Macca’s all over the press again with a story probably best left where it was …
told by younger men (you’re 76 years old for God’s sake!) and then left buried in
the archives.
I cannot help but wonder how new
wife Nancy feels about all of this … from the two catchiest tunes on the album
being “Come On To Me” and “Fuh You” to recent stories about “catching a lot of
birds” back in the day and whacking off together as Lennon and McCartney. (kk)

It’s official ---

Meanwhile, we
found another website dedicated and devoted to Paul McCartney fandom … and we think you’ll
like it …
We recently created and
posted a new page on our site that has all the latest Paul McCartney news and
covers him extensively, too, including some videos of his surprise live concert
in NYC's Grand Central Station the other day.
I'd be honored if you'd let your readers know
about the link. Thanks,
Jennifer Mandy

We told you earlier this week that Olivia
Newton-John is once again
battling cancer. (It's in her spine this
time.)
FH Reader Tom Cuddy just sent us
this very special ONJ piece that aired on “Sunday Night” … a very nice tribute
to this very special lady.
He also sent us this new interview
with Rod Argent of The Zombies …
And here are a couple of final smiles from Chuck Buell …
(Ain’t it the truth?!?!) kk
