Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Macca at the White House

Paul McCartney was in the East Room at the White House last night to receive the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. President Obama and the first lady hosted the event, which also featured other artists participating in a concert. Jerry Seinfeld did a stand up comedy routine. He had lots of compliments for McCartney and one complaint — he couldn’t quite figure some of McCartney’s lyrics.
Such as: "She was just 17. You know what I mean." Seinfeld: "I’m not sure I do know what you mean, Sir Paul. I think I know what you mean. And I think there’s a law enforcement agency in a couple of states that might want to ask you a few questions."
Of course, the "you know what I mean" lyric was contributed by John Lennon. McCartney's original lyric read "never been a beauty queen".

Set list:
Paul McCartney - Got To Get You Into My Life
Elvis Costello - Penny Lane
Dave Grohl - Band On The Run
Corinne Bailey Rae and Herbie Hancock - Blackbird
Emmylou Harris - For No One

The concert and award speeches were taped by PBS and will be televised as a 90 minute TV special on July 28th.
