<p>Memo to aging metalheads... hot 18 year old girls in the year 2015 are just not that into AC/DC. (KInda the way I seldom saw rugby players crowd surfing at Topp Twins gigs in the 1980s.) Yes, I know that's close to a high crime in some parts, and it vexes me tremendously, but it is what it is.</p> -

Ha well I randomly went to Sweden's Hultsfred festival in about 2008/9ish, very different from your acdc experience..and even better it turned out the kiwi accent carried a heck of a lot of weight over there! -
<p>Not sure if anybody caught the rather awesome Paul McCartney interview in Esquire last month. It's online, definitely worth a read, here's a nice sample:</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"> </p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"><strong>ESQ:</strong> Youâ€
ve been knighted. Do you feel part of the Establishment now?</p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"> </p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"><strong>PM:</strong> No, not really. I donâ€t hang out with many aristocratic people. I just donâ€t know that many. When I was made a Sir, it did come up. I thought to myself, now probably Iâ€ll have to go to banquets with all the other Sirs. But the thing is with me, the women I happen to be attracted to really donâ€t fancy that. Theyâ€re not social aspirants, really. I sometimes say, “Maybe we should go! It could be good!†But itâ€s like, “Nah, letâ€s not. Letâ€s go to the pictures.†Iâ€ve never really run with that crowd.</p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"> </p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"><strong>ESQ:</strong> Like it or not, youâ€re a national treasure. That can blunt your edges, it makes you seem cosy and tame.</p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"> </p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"><strong>PM:</strong> Like Geldof. Got knighted, never sold another record. That was it!</p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"> </p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"><strong>ESQ:</strong> Exactly. Are you aware of this image of you as this rather cuddly figure?</p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"> </p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"><strong>PM:</strong> Itâ€s something Iâ€ve not cultivated. But I think when you become a family man, when youâ€ve got grandkids and you openly admire them, that gets cuddly. With the knighthood, you have to consider whether youâ€re going to accept it or not. Someone said, “Thereâ€s a certain cachet in turning it down, you know?†I went [exasperated], “I know, Iâ€ve read a bit, you know?†I was thinking, “Oh God, what do you do?†Then I saw Bobby Charlton. And his attitude was, “Iâ€m really proud to be British.†And I thought, “Thatâ€s the one.†So, I just said Iâ€m proud to accept it. <span style="color:#ff0000;">I like the Queen. When we grew up she was a babe. Oh, yeah. We were like 11, she was 21 and good looking. And she had a figure on her. I shouldnâ€t say this about Her Majesty but we, as schoolboys, we said, “Look at the fuckin†heave on her!â€</span></p>

<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"> </p>
<p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"><strong>PM:</strong> No! But I say it regularly in the press hoping sheâ€ll read it.</p>

For some reason that article wouldn't work for me, his music got really cheesy after the Beatles split but as Nepia points out Lennon was a pretty horrible person and undoubtedly a green voter.<br><br>
Does the article explain why he married that loon a Heather Mills? I heard they split after he bought her a new artificial leg for Xmas and told her it was a stocking filler. -

<p>Macca's name came up in relation to a small mining accident in the South African goldfields where there was a cave in. They eventually got the last guy out but he had had one leg crushed by the fall and was likely to lose his job. "Who would want a one legged gold-digger?" he asked.</p> -
