Paul McCartney got a lot of attention when pictures of him and wife Nancy Shevell were seen attending a Super Bowl party, but not nearly as much as a picture that caught McCartney on a bus and was posted yesterday on Facebook.
According to Robert Retz, who posted the picture on his Facebook page, the picture was taken by the son of the woman who was surprised by McCartney's appearance. He sang Beatles songs on the bus.
TONY SHERIDAN UPDATE: Tony Sheridan continues to improve after his illness. Friend Ted “Kingsize” Taylor posted on Facebook Monday “I visited Tony this morning, and as promised, sat and read him some of your kind greetings, and get well messages, as promised. Tony is, as you may well imagine, still very weak, but was delighted that so many people care, and sends his thanks to you all. He asked me to give him a push, I said, 'A push? Where to?' 'Outside for a smoke' replied Tony, with a smile on his face, so he hasn't lost his dry sense of humor.”
