No Beef Chimichanga for Paul McCartney

November 22, 2008 by WendyB

I still haven’t recovered from the Times of London’s chimichanga-flashing interview of date-rape-apologist Helen Mirren, but I did enjoy this fully-clothed interview the paper conducted with my almost-husband, Paul McCartney. I do think Paul (and everyone else) should stop worrying about fools who still gripe about who broke up the Beatles. Many of us have…

Season’s Greetings for a Dumpster-Fire Year

December 25, 2020 by WendyB

If you happen to be in New York, the beautiful Christmas lights at Saks are worth seeing. Recently, I joined the activists of Rise and Resist to check out the light show, which includes a soundtrack. There’s nothing like hearing “Feliz Navidad” booming down 5th Avenue! Why is that song such an earworm? The thing…

Throwback Thursday: The Man, the Dog, and Liza

June 18, 2020 by WendyB

I’ve been away from this blog for 2 1/2 weeks — the longest I’ve gone without posting since I started on Blogger in July 2007. If you’ve visited me here at least a few times since November 2016, you can probably guess what I’ve been up to. I’ll get into the ultra-serious stuff in the…

My Almost-Husband and the Old House

June 11, 2018 by WendyB

I’m all excited and nervous for someone I met once, briefly, four years ago. Sylvia was the nice woman who conducted the tour of my almost-husband Paul McCartney’s childhood home when I visited it in Liverpool in 2014. Sylvia informed us that Sir Paul’s brother, Mike, had visited the house at 20 Forthlin Road, and…

Coachella 2018, Day 2: Lion Babe, Cardi B, Eminem

April 24, 2018 by WendyB

I could have squeezed my full Coachella 2018 story into yesterday’s post, but I wanted to give some extra love to Lion Babe, which was the first act I saw on Sunday. Lion Babe is a duo consisting of singer Jillian Hervey (Vanessa Williams’s daughter!) and producer Lucas Goodman, but during a live performance it’s…

Thursday, March 22: Viv Albertine of the Slits popped up in Vincent Gallo’s batshit-crazy letter to the world. Friday, March 23:…

Year in Review: Neglected Concerts of 2016

December 30, 2016 by WendyB

I already blogged about a lot of the concerts I went to this year — including Rihanna, Beyonce, Paul Simon, and Paul McCartney — as well as the music festivals Coachella and Desert Trip. However, there were a few performances that I didn’t get around to sharing. One of those was Royce da 5’9″, whose…
