Some random dude named Paul McCartney turned 80 today

This story about him was passed along by Richard Coles one half of the Communards and now retired parson.  He didn’t thread it right on Twitter so…

Talked to a man who recalled when his mother died taking his dad, who was devastated, for a break after the funeral. A friend lent them his beach house on the south coast. Early in the morning the man was standing on the verandah looking out to sea and thinking about loss … 1/4

…and bereavement. A voice said hello and it was the man in the house next door who was looking out to sea from his verandah too. They started talking and it turned out that the neighbour was also a widower. The man asked him if he could spare a moment to talk to his father, 2/4

…who was struggling. “That will take more than a moment,” he said, “bring him to tea this afternoon”.
And so it came to pass. They had tea and talked and wept and it was a deeply moving experience for all. At the end his father went to shake hands with his host … 3/4

….but he declined and insisted on a hug instead. Lovely.

He was Paul McCartney.

Many happy returns.

Another random due named Brian Wilson turned 80 yesterday, haven't seen any heart warming stories regarding him yesterday on the Twitter…

today we get a third random duded Ray Davies who turns 78

something about these dudes makes me think they were somehow important with the development of pop/rock music…

Jr. Kimbrough who would've been 92 today.

Gus the Fireman would be 138 if he was still alive. Though his birthday was in February.

I also learned today that he was married to the same woman for 56 years and had 0 children. A great loss for the world that he was the end of the line.

I wonder if that is enough to inspire a name change to Gus the Fireman-Hatch?

I think James Cromwell would be a shoe-in for the biopic they will make on his legendary career

Geddy Lee, 69

Anyone know how did his voice get so high?!?
