On my way to Toronto-a Paul McCartney Adventure!

Hey People!! It's 8:52 pm Friday night. I had to work today-got off early and ran around doing stuff, before my next adventure, Toronto, Canada~ finally sat down, and it's almost 9 pm? Where did the time go? I suppose, I should plan a little better next time..ha! why I leave everything last minute is beyond me :) Anyhow, I have never been to Toronto, and I'm getting excited to go.
.
what time do you gotta be at the Airport?
I have to be at the airport at 5:30 am-yikes! while all of you, will be sleeping in your beds happy and content dreaming of?.
ME, I'll be half asleep, waiting to board my flight, after 6 am. it's going to be a bit of an ordeal getting from Pearson airport to downtown Toronto from what I hear. I am hoping I get to the hotel before dusk.. I'm a bit cross-eyed as I type at this very mo.heheheh. Perhaps I will post a lil bit more at 4am. I cannot wait to see Paul McCartney again outside of the United States. Another adventure awaits!

What's new on the setlist
I hear, Paul & the band will have a full pipe band. Is Mull Of Kintyre going to be played?!
I LOVE THAT SONG!~ I have never heard a pipe band live; or Mull for that matter. Ohh my..Oh, I hope Paul decides to mix up the set list a bit; will he or won't he, that IS the question?

it's 3:22 am- oh man- I'm up..no lap top still.(yawn) I'd like to post from Toronto ( still yawning hard lol )

Oh Canada~
It's 2:05 pm Canada time...geez, what a mini night-mare getting here to downtown Toronto.. The city is closed off; (meaning you can't get into downtown from the freeway) so, it took even a longer bus trip to arrive here at the hotel... the freeways are jammed packed with traffic. Just found out from the front desk there is a closer airport minutes away actually..ha!!! I arrived at 6:30 pm- so in total 12 hrs of travel time..hahaha~ took awhile to get thru customs and to find my bag that I had to check. And how was your day? wondering if I can change my flight back to the states?

Is that Snoop Dog?
last night after I posted, I was in the front lobby. I noticed a crew come in.. The guy in the front looked like Snoop dog. Nah Snoop can't be here, but it sure looked liked him..so I'm back down outside today a guy asks me for a ciggy.  he way flying a Lakers jacket :) I said ' did you notice Snoop was here or? ' the guy says 'oh yeah Snoop was here for a gig' he played last night. They're on their way to Novia Scotia... the guy's name  was Carlos, Snoops drummer. Coolio, right on drummer I told him.. I would have liked to have met Snoop myself .. that's a 2nd time I almost bummed into the Dog.. told him- I was here for Paul McCartney.. Carlos said he loved Paul!.. Well, Right On Carlos (we love Paul too) drummers freakin Rawk.. Now I'd like to meet Abe, Paul's drummer.

Ok People, tonights gig at the Air Canada Center was freakin cool.. The people of Toronto so great and welcoming ..
What the hell?

Paul McCartney summoned Quebec nationalists to Smoke pipes of peace

^

MONTREAL - Ex - Beatle and perennial love-advocate Paul McCartney summoned Quebec nationalists on Thursday "to smoke the pipes of peace" over their opposition to his free concert this weekend. (hb take: right Paul they need to freakin chill!) Ive added my own lil comments as seen below "hb take"

THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP-Lefteris Pitarakis
Several artists and politicians have been questioning McCartney's participation in Quebec City's 400th anniversary celebration because of his British roots. (hb take: ohh woooes me!)

But McCartney told Radio-Canada he was unmoved by their claim his presence evokes painful memories of Britain's conquest of New France in 1760.
(hb take: geeez half these people and even their great grand parents weren't even thought of?) how freakin lamo~lol

"I think it's time to smoke the pipes of peace and to just, you know, put away your hatchet because I think it's a show of friendship," he said. (hb take: Right on Macca!)

McCartney appeared eager to deflate the political rhetoric that nationalists are trying to attach to Sunday's show on the Plains of Abraham, site of the pivotal 1759 battle between British General James Wolfe and France's Marquis Louis-Joseph de Montcalm.
"The kind of thing I read about in the schoolbooks when I was a kid was......who was General Wolfe?" he said jokingly. "I still haven't figured it out." (hb take: Paul don't feel bad I have no freakin idea who he is either!)

McCartney said he disagrees with the suggestion that he shouldn't play in Quebec City just because Wolfe's troops happened to defeat Montcalm's on the Plains.
"What, are you saying nobody but French people should play in Quebec?"
(hb take: Oh this is fresh! nobody freakin complained when Celine Dion played in Vegas all those years and she even got paid~ Where is Kathy Griffin when we need her? whatta maroon hahaha Kathy there is some great material here)

By that logic, he said, Britons and Germans should never visit each other's country because of the world wars.

"Hey, I'm friendly with German people," he said. (hb take:as you should be Paul)

As the 400th-anniversary celebrations continue, nationalists in the province have been seizing on various elements they feel are either too federalist, too anglophone, or both.
The most recent controversy was kick-started earlier this week by Quebec painter Luc Archambault, who circulated a petition decrying the "dangerous" presence of music with English lyrics. (hb take: are you freakin serious?)

But Archambault's campaign appeared to lose momentum on Thursday as he backed down from the tempest he stirred.
"I greatly admire McCartney... and I am counting on him as a socially engaged artist to be receptive to my proposal," he said.
"My proposal is to inform about the situation in which we (francophones) live in Quebec."
He added he is not opposed to McCartney's concert itself, but said Quebec artists should be given the same amount of attention. (hb take:see my Celine Dion comment above lmao)

The Parti Quebecois' culture critic, who signed the petition, also distanced himself from earlier anti-McCartney comments.
Pierre Curzi issued a news release Thursday to say he too is a Beatles fan and only wanted to remind McCartney about the precarious state of the French language in Quebec.
(hb take: BFD!!!!!!!!!! not everyone in the states speaks English c'mon these guys are trippin!)

"When you step on stage Sunday to celebrate this beautiful French city, remember with us that the language which gives it life is still fragile," Curzi said. (hb take: DRama!!!!!! lmao your life will NOT be ruined if Sir Paul McCartney sings in Englsih)

Archambault nevertheless stressed he wasn't moved by McCartney's appeal to cast politics aside.
"He was coached by the Quebec government, he was told what to answer," the painter said.
McCartney told Radio-Canada he has been working on expanding the few lines of French he used in the 1965 hit "Michelle."
"Naturally everyone speaks French," he said in French, momentarily disguising his Scouse accent.
The Liverpool native is expected to make use of his French, however limited, during the show. He also said he plans to spend part of the day seeing the city's sites.
"Come on Quebece-ins (Quebecers), love me baby," he said.

The open-air concert is McCartney's only scheduled appearance in North America this year and organizers are expecting a crowd of around 200,000.

"I would like people to say that was the best night of my life," McCartney said. hb take: and they will Paul and they will you GO Macca! wooohooooo

"I can say we've been rehearsing this all week and we've been having a great time with the band, so we're feeling good."
