First question can I change the name of the topic cause I've mispelt it by accident? 

 

Is there anyway of meeting Paul McCartney or contacting apart from meet&greets? :/ 

I really dream about meeting him :'/. a-hard-days-night-paul-6a-hard-days-night-paul-3a-hard-days-night-paul-2a-hard-days-night-paul-8a-hard-days-night-paul-5paul-mccartneya-hard-days-night-paul-1a-hard-days-night-paul-11a-hard-days-night-paul-4a-hard-days-night-paul-9a-hard-days-night-paul-7a-hard-days-night-paul-10

I'm not sure, maybe skye or Joe could fix it. I will say that it's more likely that you will meet some dude named Paul McCarney than Paul McCartney himself though.

Fixed the title.

I met Paul McCartney once, and I've been in the same room as him on another occasion. I think your best chance is to become a musician, journalist, filmmaker, studio staffer, MPL employee or lucky.

Can buy me love! Please consider supporting the Beatles Bible on Amazon
Or buy my paperback/ebook! Riding So High – The Beatles and Drugs

I vote for lucky.

Thankyou for fixing the title Joe. 🙂 

And you really are lucky how did you meet him? 

I guess I'm going to have to go for lucky as well.. however my Dad met him a few years back when he was married to Heather Mills. He came to a bar in Washington, England with her and he let my Dad sit with him 😮 I was well jealous because I had left about half an hour before he went in!

Usually that's how we regular folks get to meet celebrities – pure chance.

I once met Steven Tyler in an airport bar while I was seeing a friend off to the Navy. Many years later, I met Rob Halford when I was a car salesman in Phoenix and his body guard was car shopping.

I wish you luck on your hunt for the elusive Macca.a-hard-days-night-paul-8

Steven Tyler has lost all the respect I have for him by judging American Idol.

What did he do? I haven't watched it in a while.

For a second there, I thought Paul was hosting American Idol – I'd watch that!

Back on topic: become a reporter or  find out what bus he's on. I read that he likes to take the bus once in a while.

Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo! So little time! So much to know!

Let me just say (off topic, of course) that Steven Tyler is one of the ugliest people I've ever seen.

Aw, I don't think he's that bad looking, but his mouth takes up about half his face and it's a little distracting. a-hard-days-night-paul-7

I was thinking about how he should host AI too! That would be amazing!

 

*9* the universe agrees

Yes. It would be very amazing. I would probably skip activities to watch it. 

9 means the universe agrees with me.

I met McCartney in June of 1976. It was during the Wings Over America tour. My friend had a Beatles Newletter and we had to sneak on his plane at SFO to meet him. This was of course before all the security measures. 

I would say you should contact MPL's main office via email and see if there is a way to get a message to him but good luck. It won't be easy. Maybe try and get BackStage passes the next time he is in your town.

The further one travels, the less one knows

That sounds like an amazing time! Great story to tell the friends too
