It was funny, but I found it a bit sad. But it was mostly funny

"Paul McCartney was born Sirpaul McCartney, a hella long time ago."

I think that was the idea... that Ringo and Paul played at the end of the ceremony..

Check this out. It's just hillarious..

Who is Paul McCartney? - watch more funny videos

"Sir Paul invaded America, appearing on a beach towel from Target" hahahahaha

Joe on McCartney at the Grammys

OK, here's a Grammy theory to ponder. Joe Walsh was one of the guitarists duelling on The End. He's married to Barbara Bach's sister, making him Ringo's brother in law. He's also a sometime member of the All Starr Band.
So... given that Ringo was due to present an award at the Grammys, what's the betting that he would also have joined Paul's band, drumming alongside Abe Laboriel Jr, had he been well enough? It's just a hunch, but wouldn't it have been pretty spectacular?

That's funny!!!!

I guess it was all downhill after Toronto...

She's just doing her thing, living in the material world.

Speaking of the Grammys, you know how there was a mini-rumourette about Ringo's presence setting the stage for some kind of mini-reunion? My mom called me that night and mentioned something about it and how it wouldn't amount to much "with just the three of them." I was like wtf, THREE of them?! "Mom, George is dead! He's been dead for 10 years!" She'd somehow not gotten the news in the last decade!

And to think that she was a big enough Beatle fan to plan to attend their Toronto concert in 1964...

Oh don't worry, I know! As Sun King rightly said, it's their loss, not mine. I know that I'm a fan of the greatest band ever and that's all that matters.

People who don't know the Beatles shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Edit : Good point there SunKing.

Well the thing is Kelicopter that they are surrounded by media.. but they don't pay attention at all. I guess that happens when you're a teen.And most of teens consider 80s music as "old music". It's what their parents listen to, so it's normal they don't like it. (I don't like some of the music my Dad listens to...)

Still. As I said to a Beatle troll: "Your opinion will not diminish the fact that in the years to come, when people look at ...

Kelicopter, instead of saying something creative and witty of my own, I'll quote the immaculate Paul Wells (the great Canadian journalist): "I’m pretty sure the error lay in expecting any other result." And he's right - would a kid in 1988 know Frank Sinatra? Probably not. I don't care - it's their loss, not mine. Not anything to get mad at.

I agree with you. My point is why you should mock at teens for not knowing who Paul is? Most of the young people live in Facebook, and they are not aware of the news.There are people so into their worlds that they don't pay attention to other stuff. I'm just stating a fact

I don't think it's as much mocking as it is complete and utter disbelief. He is just such an icon, and The Beatles are as much a part of popular culture now than they ever were. It's just hard to ...

BTW Paul is in the cover of RS magazine.

And honestly, why should they know who Paul McCartney is? I mean, if they are not music experts... why should they? If their parents were not Beatle fans. It's like I don't know who the hell is Lil Kim or whatever his or her name. I'm not a hip hop fan.

What I'm trying to say is that I know tons of kids who have never heard of the Beatles. But once they listen to them, they're like "Ahh yeah I have heard their songs" or "I think an uncle likes them". If they listen to what I think it's ...

Well, sorry dear fellow teen BBF but that's so typical of teens. Instead of searching by themselves, they ask for it.

I have seen people on twitter asking schedules of movies in a cinema, the phone number of a restaurant, even a webpage. Some young people (and old) are sometimes too lazy to search.
