One of the fans





 

One of the cutest things this week for me has been these photos of Paul McCartney, Mary, and Nancy at a Taylor Swift concert in London. 

What I find adorable is how Paul got into collecting bracelets from Taylor's fans at the show.  Something common at a Taylor Swift concert is that fans make "friendship bracelets" and trade them with each other at the show.   It is a very sweet part of a fandom and helps fans to get to know one another and make friendships.   Even if you don't like Taylor Swift, you must agree that this event is very wholesome.

What Paul might not know is that his fans also do things like this.  I received buttons and bracelets at the Paul concerts I attended.  In 2016, when Paul came to my town, St. Louis, I had about 100 buttons made that I handed out to fans.   It is a fun activity, and for me -- going to a Paul concert is so much more than just hearing Paul perform.  It is an event and a chance to get together with people who share the same love that you have.   

I hope that with these bracelets, Paul got to experience a little taste of what the excitement of being a fan feels like, and I hope he was able to make the connection of how he makes all of us feel.

    1. 6/28 AT 5:11..Thanks for sharing your post and not trashing mine as it was my ancient opinion. His appearance is his choice of course. Checked out the birthday song and he is certainly appears quite lovely again to me. Peace.

  2. Mary and Stella sang to Paul on his birthday, and he looked quite good, with a haircut and clean shaven. 😍

    2. Everyone can post their opinion. The comment above this one is about how "awful" he looks. This comment is about how good he looks. I am just glad that he is still with us and living his life. Clean shaven or not...

    3. 6/28 and 6/27 -- keep posting your opinions, even if it gets up people's noses. For me I could care less how he looks, as long as the guy is happy in his life that's what matters.

    4. If I was 82, insanely famous, and a billionaire, I wouldn't be overly concerned about not shaving every day. Besides, it's been a thing with Paul since the fan club Xmas discs.

    5. sara- like what you said about opinions because that was the freedom in the old fan newsletters we had; there's gonna be some like the "who cares" but doubt much attention will be given them; keep up the good work.
