An Open Letter to Paul McCartney…
Dear Paul,
What can we say! You have been a vital, integral, important, influential, exhilirating, memorable, and happy part of our lives for almost 50 years. Ever since The Beatles came into our homes on February 9, 1964, there has been a grip that refuses to let go for the baby boomer generation. For the next generations, the first time hearing a Beatles song is an incredible moment as well. It is a feeling we all get every time we hear a Beatles song!
Thank you for continuing to create music after the Beatles, bringing us Wings and all of your Solo songs. Your music and life have bee an inspiration to millions of fans around the world.
Your concerts have ALWAYS been phenomenal, but the most enduring part of your legacy is you are getting BETTER! Your stadium shows last summer when we saw you in Yankee Stadium and Wrigley Field were the best, ever! It is so obvious how much you love to perform in front of a live audience. You somehow make everyone in attendance feel you are singing only to them in their own homes. Your singular gift is successfully conveyed to your fans. We look forward to many more years of great concerts!
We are thrilled to see that you are happily married to Nancy and we wish you all the best in the world!!!
In 1979, John sent a message to the fans at our FEST. He said, “Tell the fans The Music Was The Thing”. Well, Sir Paul, you have certainly never forgotten that focus, and the world is a better place because of that.
May you have a fantastic 70th Birthday. You are proof that 70 is the new 50. Keep on rockin’ and Happy Birthday To You!!
Love,
Mark, Carol, Michelle & Jessica Lapidos
The Fest For Beatles Fans
Happy Birthday Paul and many more! Thanks for all the memories!
I couldn’t agree more with Mark, Carol, Michelle & Jessica’s open letter to SIr Paul McCartney. I couldn’t have said it any better than what you just did. I echo those sentiments! Who would have thought that at 70, he would still be performing 3 hour shows for all his fans. Just brilliant, marvelous and fantastic. He truly amazes me. Happy Birthday Sir Paul McCartney! I hope you have many, many more!

“Hay!Who’s the little old man?” “Oh thats Pauls grandfather, quite the mixer!” (from the blk & white movie A Hard Days Night). ” Allo grandfather !” A simply smashing filmn in its time. “Gear Fab you know…” Tanks Pual, Cheers.
Happy Birthday Paul!!!
All the old music is great and I’ll keep looking for more to come so keep giving us those silly love songs.
Here’s to another trip around the sun!!!

I still get a rush of excitement when I stumble across my Beatles – anywhere – a record shop, bookstore, flea market – it’s ingrained in me – and I love it! Thank you for being such a positive and happy influence on my life.
My love. Great song Paul
