I'm getting nervous it's almost time to see Paul McCartney & Ringo!

Morning people! I hope you are fine and in, great spirits. It's been two years since I have seen Paul McCartney live. In just two short weeks, I will be, one of those lucky fans who did get a ticket to The Charity gig in New York. I am, tremendously excited! I'm excited to see Paul and Ringo perform together! A first for me, ever. I hope & pray I get that one day off in April so I may see Macca in Vegas too.

Seeing Paul McCartney live is a surreal spiritual experience
The first time I had ever seen Macca live, was in 2002. Reason being, Macca hadn't toured in years since he was with Wings, in the 90's, Berkley being one of his last gigs-in the bay area. There was no Internet-only local radio or your favorite record store that announced such gigs. I was so disappointed, I had no money, no car, but prayed one day, that I would actually see Paul McCartney perform live. Here we are 2009 and I have went to every gig- that I could possibly attend and AFFORD~ lol

Seein Macca live, for me, is such a surreal spiritual experience. The Beatles music touches my heart and my soul-that is actually difficult to form into words. Their music is healing. The Beatles sing about everyday people. I love that! I suppose one of those reasons is, you cannot believe you are actually seeing a former living Beatle, sing such songs, as you heard as a young kid. You say OMG- I LOVE that freakin song!!

I can't believe Macca is singing this one?!!. Such as, 'She's leaving home', 'Helter Skelter', 'She came in thru-the bathroom window'. Or, 'Too Many people', via The Wings era. Paul performing live brings you to tears. You feel the music.

The Beatles, have helped me thru the most unbearable times, such as being homeless, yep! Harleyblues, went thru that bullshit, a few times in fact, and other dark things I care not to comment about at this time. Thos four lads from Liverpool, Paul, John, George, Ringo and the man above, have always been there and have seen me thru- in the Sunny & Dark periods in life. I truly Love, The Beatles & I Love, Paul McCartney.. truly..: :)

"To Paul and Ringo, Thank you for the "Miles of Smiles" love you!"

A vid ded: to Macca, Ringo, & Geoff Baker


We can work it out-another fav from the Fab four- dedicated to Friends!

I am also hoping, I get to see Geoff in New York and give him a hug. It's been 5 years since I have seen him. :):) See kids, never give up on your dreams you never know what might happen?

perhaps... more later? Have a beautiful day~
hb~

Ps. YES, I have been messing around with my template all day!~ This one looks best after all- until I can find someone to re design my blog.

Also note: I did tear down the post about Amazon & AT&T it pissed me off to much. I did end up with the Blackberry bold after 2 days & 5 plus hours attempting to buy it-ahhhh

What is this rumour Geoff Baker is working for Macca again?

Yesterday, I read on the Time online, Geoff Baker, is rumoured to be working with Paul McCartney again? Well, I didn't bother to post about it. why? it seemed more of a statement from the Times- talking about, Geoff, being sacked years ago. Oh, that's brill- freakin rub it in. I don't know if it was one of those "This day in history" type stories-follow me?

Paul & Geoff had reconciled, a few years ago, we all know this. Remember The McCartney rose bush- as a birthday prezzie? I dislike rumours- unless they are indeed true. Why put. Geoff, thru this kinda public rumour? Now Macca Blog has also posted this lil tid bit on their blog.

I emailed Geoff, yesterday asking him about the Times story? I haven't heard from him. Perhaps he is on holiday? or my email went to his spam box. lol He is a writer. He should have a laptop with him-ciggy in mouth. lol :)

I was sure, Geoff, would write back stating "HarleyB that is crap it's all rumour" or something~

The Times snippet that caught me.. was this:

Lmao off! 'Paul, owes me nothing except maybe a kick in the balls'~

Six years on, they have been reconciled, we gather. Baker is
about to help Sir Paul McCartney to chronicle his current lucrative US tour.
“Paul owes me nothing, except maybe a kick in the balls,” a forgiving Geoff
tells us

Macca isn't touring that's is news to me
Paul isn't on tour. He is doing a few gigs here & there. Up coming gigs, The David Lynch Charity gig & The Hard rock cafe gig in Vegas-both in April. oops! forgot Coachella! :)

Hopefully Geoff, will clear up this confusion before it is spread & rumoured all over the world.

Geoff, where are you? This is like trying to find Waldo!!-I haven't heard from Geoff in a few weeks.

Good natured Geoff Baker-:)
Geoff has always treated the Beatles/ and McCartney fans with dignity and respect. How can you not Love Him!
I will always support Geoff, in all he does. Geoff Baker, IS a decent person, a brilliant writer. ( But don't tell the sorority- they will disagree) I love his wicked sense of British humour. He tells it like it is- straight from the heart. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons, I like & respect, him so.

Video for Geoff-Since he is also a Keith Richards Fan!





John lennon, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Mitch Mitchell

This is for you Geoff, where ever you may be? It's 10pm on sunday. ( Damn, I sound like Barry Manillow )I still haven't heard from Mr. Baker-dang already~ :) Damn, whats really going on? Geoff's blog no longer exists? I just was there a min. ago~

I heard from Geoff~
March 20th 6:40 am

well I did hear from Geoff, and he isn't talking lol
I'd like to say if this rumour is indeed true? OMG! I'm effin estatic for you Geoff!



The Beates!

Get Back, Get Back to where you once belonged, Geoff! wooohooo!!!

Paul Mac's ex-PR man turns down £150k book offer

Mac’s ex-PR man turns down £150k book offer

from AxeGrinder

Good news for Sir Paul McCartney – his former PR man, Geoff Baker, claims he has turned down an offer of £150,000 to write a book about his time working for the ex-Beatle.
Baker is currently writing a novel, Diary of a Madman, which is updated daily on his blog. The novel is about a music PR man losing his mind while working for a rock star, although Baker insists “the book is not about me, Paul, my family, my friends or anybody or any event that I have actually experienced”.

On Monday, Baker, a former showbusiness editor of the Daily Star, wrote on his blog:
“If I was writing for money I wouldn’t have turned down the latest offer of £150,000 up front to pen my Mcmemoirs and I wouldn’t be smoking roll-ups; well, not roll-ups this small.”

He also reveals he has just been sacked from his PR role for pop band Purplemelon “over some matter of annoyance at my persistence in saying ‘that won’t work, it’s a crap idea’, so I’ve returned to freelancing features for Her Majesty’s Press and am about to start whoring myself out as a columnist for any who will have me but most likely The Lung Disease Gazette.”

Baker was working as a freelance journalist when he began working for Macca in 1989. They parted company in acrimonious fashion in 2004.

HB take: Let me be clear, Geoff Baker wouldn't write such a book about Paul McCartney

OK, wow, Geoff no wonder I haven't heard bout Purplemelon lately, that is a shame.

Now a few years ago, Mr. Baker -as some of us call him Geoff,. informed us he would be writing a few books/novels, nothing of the sort would he write about Paul McCartney or his employ with Paul, as he was loyal to Paul and to family he was firm on this. (haters would disagree.)

He said something to the fact he would rather stick a lite cigarette in his eye. I cannot recall at this time what Geoff told us exactly, it was probably something far worse than what I wrote above.
Some fans, who have kept in touch with Geoff in recent years, had encouraged Geoff to write his books, since he is a brilliant writer.
I can say with certainty he loved the fans,. from my experience and treated them with fun, respect and dignity, as he would want to be treated., I suspect he could spot out the fakes and these were the ones that would get pissed off at Geoff for not providing them favors, I have seen it for myself.

Geoff is a real person, not fake, unlike some in Paul McCartney's current employ. We all have issues that need work, else we would not be human. Geoff is a a big Beatles's lover like most of us that love em.
Give Geoff Baker a break, and haters stop making him look like a villain. Geoff, is a decent person, with a wicked sense of humour, a great PR man, writer, and a true friend. He is tho, NO Howard Hughes.~smile.

We Miss You Geoff -hugs, the mob!!
harleyblues

ps. I'd love to post Geoff a vid, but I'm not sure which one? I'd also like to add, any British News paper would be lucky to have such a man, as Geoff. I hope he gets his own column, he desrves it. I pray a publisher picks up on any one of his works-books and publishes them. Your day will come again Geoff, I just know it!!

Veggie Paul McCartney is pissed off with McDonalds

Veggie Paul McCartney is pissed off with McDonalds
11:40am Oct 8th

Well according to Geoff Baker this is false, the Spokeman part. Geoff Baker is not Paul's spokesperson,. it's news to him? read his short statement here via Geoff's blog I'm liken the comment myself posted in the Sun..We miss you Geoff!

8:pm Oct 7th

OK, so I never got that phone call today from Paul or Ringo on my birthday, see post below. I thought of Paul, Ringo and Geoff Baker, I haven't heard from Geoff in ages! it was nice to watch the vid of Geoff & Paul hugging in the beginning of "Long and Winding Road" vid not until 10 mins. ago when I read this from the Sun.

VEGGIE campaigner Sir Paul McCartney has blasted McDonald’s after accusing them of using his picture to flog HAMBURGERS.

Macca, a vegetarian for 30 years, hit the roof after hearing staff at the fast food chain had put up pictures of the Beatles to attract customers.
His portrait appears alongside band mate John Lennon and fellow veggies Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison at a Liverpool branch.


Sir Paul’s spokesman Geoff Baker fumed: “What sort of morons do McDonald’s think Beatles fans are?
“It’s ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonald’s — and not just in Liverpool.” read more here

I had lunch at McDonalds today

What is so ironic after I went to the pharmacy to get my prescription today and almost had my car wiped out by a RV while driving. I went to McDonalds since they have that new Monopoly game out, you cannot win if you donot play right? Anyhow, I was going thru the drive thru where a man asked me if I could spare any change?

"Dude, your asking me for money on my birthday?" the man was surprised, he began to tell me of his plight, he was homeless and jobless. I have been there before, I told the man. I know what it's like not to have money and being homeless several times in my life. it sucks.

I reached in my wallet and gave the man a $1 than made it $2 I was almost in tears., I blessed the man. I went thru the drive-thru and told them at the window., "Please buy the man standing outside asking for money, some lunch, I'll pay." So I bought him what I bought myself. parked the car and walked around the side of the building and gave the man his lunch. He was so grateful he wished me Happy Birthday and gave me a hug. smiles.

It just seems so strange talking about Paul & Geoff and thinking of them after the video. hum? I also think it's quite strange, if not weird, that Mikey D's would post piccies of the Beatles inside a Liverpool McDonald's, don't you?

If it had been a world wide veggie restaurant that everyone on the known universe knew about regardless of what language you speak, now that would be something else.
So perhaps I will heed Geoff's Boycott request. I'm already boycotting them liars called Starbucks and their burnt, over priced coffee. equally coincidental I happened ro go to McDonald's today. Boycott McDonalds ha maybe?

Geoff, if you happen to read this, can you please, tell Macca I missed his birthday call... to me.. just in case he wasn't aware of it? lmao! I had a crappy birthday. The silver lining tho -was buying the man outta work lunch from McDonald's ha! Nice to read you in the news Geoff, hugs.
