Paul McCartney was Dave's guest, and it was really cool (great writing there!). Come on, Paul McCartney.
OK, the hair dye job is pretty awful. And he’s not John Lennon, but he’s still an original Beatle, and he did the interview in the same theater where he first appeared in the U-S-of-A in 1964: The Ed Sullivan Theater.
McCartney was very funny, engaging … just came across like a normal guy. Which he isn’t, because he’s an original Beatle, and because he’s a “Sir.”
Sir Paul McCartney. Hrrmph, wrote the guy whose Irish ancestors were decimated by the famine. Alas, I digress.
For some reason, it was very nice to see McCartney be so normal and funny. I’ve got to think if I’m Letterman that this was a highlight show of his career (even with the goofy Bruce Willis Top 10 list).
When the interview ended, Letterman put McCartney and his band on top of the theater marquee. He sang “Get Back,” which channeled the Beatles movie “Let it Be” when the Beatles appeared on the roof of the Apple headquarters in London and played a 42-minute concert, which unofficially was their last live show. “Get Back” was featured in the movie.
Thursday night three Beatles were missing, but it was still pretty entertaining. For a Sir.
If you missed it (part 2 of the interview has yet to be posted):
And the original Beatles on the roof:

Thanks to the shoe polish and the plastic surgery, he (?) now looks exactly like Angela Lansbury.
Plastic surgery? I don't know.. Shoe polish, or whatever hair color, for sure. The thing is Alan, he can wash that stuff off. YOU can wash all you want, but you'll still be a jack ass.
Thank you for being here, Sean. You do so much to add to the discussions on this Irish blog. With that being said, technically, "jack ass" is supposed to be one word. I'm not a jack ass. I'm a jackass. Please get it right the next time, Sean.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious and reinforcing my point with a racial comment. I'd like to stick around but I have to go pull some potatoes before I get too drunk. But I'll wake up sober tomorrow, and you'll wake up still a jackass.
A "racial comment?" Now the Irish are a race? Wow. I did not know that. I thought only the wacky Germans ever took credit for being a race. Thanks for the anthropology lesson and the knowledge.
Oh, and Sean, I've since had the opportunity to call and speak with the President of the University of Notre Dame. The official announcement will be made at a press conference tomorrow. I've persuaded them to change their name to the University of Notre Dame Fighting Swedes.
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
