One of the newspapers recently asked Sir Paul if, considering the marital problems he was having, he would consider going down on one knee again.  He paused for a minute and then said "maybe, but I'd rather you called her Heather".LOLLOLLOL
Ooh, cruel (but funny).
What I want to know is what is McCartney going to do about the song on "Driving Rain" called "Heather"? Will it be deleted from future editions? Will he change the lyrics?

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

Yes that reply tickled me too. It is absolutely amazing that someone could even think to ask this question. These replies tickled me too..........

"No. They split in '69, I think. There was talk they might reform around '80 but then John Lennon was shot, that ended that. And George Harrisson died in '01. Only Paul & Ringo are left. Some people believe they're dying in order of talent...so Ringo will live for quite some time yet..."

I doubt they would tour if George Harrison or John Lennon were still alive. Everyone except Paul hated touring and concerts because they were unable to hear themselves.

Although some say that two of them are dead, it's actually three, because before the heyday of the Beatles, their first bassist Stuart Sutcliffe died from a Brain Hammorage or something similar, Paul McCartney was the just Guitarist then.

Beatles started as a five piece band, and becoming a four piece in 1961 or 1962.

    Well, I suppose if Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey can still call themselves The Who, some people may still have hope.


However, I am not one of them.

Can you believe this is the very question someone has posted on Yahoo! Answers?

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgFgVV5rQhesfm.otABPOwSKBgx.?qid=20061030103224AAZiZfg

Is it really possible that someone doesn't know they split up in 1970 and that two of them are dead?
