  • OT:Paul McCartney on SNL

    From Louis Epstein@le@lekno.ws to alt.obituaries on Sun May 17 05:22:52 2026

    Paul McCartney just appeared on the Saturday Night Live
    season finale...he will be 84 next month,and did not sing
    "When I was younger,less gray in hair,twenty years ago..."
    but did sing "Days We Left Behind"...Will Ferrell recited
    a list of famous songs McCartney wrote but I think he left
    out "When I'm Sixty-Four",which would be awkward for
    McCartney to sing now.
    I noticed a female backup singer at the rear corner of his
    ensemble,dressed in black to better blend into the shadows,
    and see that the Google AI overview and the Wikipedia
    article on his band concur that she doesn't exist.

    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

    My mother's retirement community often has a lounge singer
    playing piano and singing at mealtime. He sings that song
    as "When I'm Ninety-Four" because the audience doesn't view
    sixty-four as being old anymore.

    But how old will Vera,Chuck,and Dave be when he's ninety-four?
    Too old to sit on his knee?
