Well... maybe if you ask about his new album. Paul will give you
a personal concert and try to figure out what question you are
asking on his "You Tell Me" page.
Definitely fun to watch. It's like having your own one-on-one
interview and private concert with Paul. And if you don't ask
a question Paul is going to prompt you to ask one. "Come
on look lively now," he says as he yawns and looks at his
watch.
When you type in a question a graphic comes up that says "Paul
is thinking."
Neat acoustic performances of "That Was Me," "Ever
Present Past," "Twenty Flight Rock," "Vintage
Clothes", "Feet In The Clouds," all with 'cute'
faces. He even will tell you a 'dirty joke.' Wait for the winking
eye'.. nervous twitch and the whisper!
Just when you think you've seen everything, Paul does something
unexpected. Keep watching...

"Memory Almost Full" - CD/DVD Deluxe Edition
An original rock band from Chicago called THE POND HAWKS
has caught the attention of Paul McCartney
fans, because of a song thought to be about McCartney's ex, Heather Mills. The song called "Crying Hyena"
written by Pond Hawks' front-man Mario Novelli is about all the
lying, greedy, gold diggers of the world. Radio stations in London
have been playing the popular song and UK papers are referring
to Heather Mills as a "hyena."
Novelli and Jorie Gracen, a rock photographer and author who penned a bestseller about Paul McCartney ("I Saw Him Standing There" - Billboard Books), formed The Pond Hawks in March of 2007 and the band's popularity has skyrocketed ever since. With a new album in the works and original music posted on the band's myspace site, the band has gotten a barrage of hits. Gracen says, "The Pond Hawks have a huge following of mostly teens and twenty-somethings who prefer the style of our music, which is great for us."
The Pond Hawks also have friends like Brian Ray of Paul McCartney's band who gave the fledgling group a tip on how to make the perfect mix of "Midnight Howl," a song that won the 2006 WGN TV (Superstation) "Battle of the Bands." Other industry people have also taken notice of the band's unique sound influenced by The Beatles, Wings, ELO and Pink Floyd. The band hopes to be signed to a label.
Gracen says there is a music video of "Midnight Howl" that will be posted soon. The video was shot by famed videographer, Randy Reisen who worked with Paul McCartney ("The Space Within US") and Bon Jovi.
Currently, Gracen and Novelli have been busy writing, arranging and producing the new album with the help of band members, Michael Gillespie, Tony Melnick, Bob Graff, John Rivera and Roger Burden.
Regarding "Crying Hyena" Novelli says, "The pen has always been mightier than the sword. Hopefully the song will be a catharsis for those who have been victims of crying hyenas."
To read more about The Pond Hawks and hear "Crying Hyena," go to www.pondhawks.com
Also hear "Sweet Dreams
In the Rain," "On The Phone With Thillerie," "Shattered
Dreams/Broken Wings," "Midnight Howl" and "Start
Over" the latest songs from The Pond Hawks.

Paul McCartney's "Ecce Cor Meum" DVD (US & Canada)
Available NOW!!!
DVD recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall on November 3, 2006
CLICK TO ORDER
Paul McCartney's recent "classical"
oratorio is called Ecce Cor Meum, which translates as "Behold
My Heart." The idealistic texts, also by McCartney, are meditations
on goodness, spirituality, peace, and love, and are well served
by the pretty, Romantic melodies; the long choral and orchestral
sections flow one into the next. The Interlude (composed after
the death of his wife, Linda), with its lovely oboe solo, is simple
and moving. The music builds throughout to an emotional climax
and the entrance of the organ later in the work--beautifully played
and handsomely recorded--is quite remarkable. This is a far more
advanced work than 1991's Liverpool Oratorio: better orchestrated,
more through-composed. No, it's not the last word in compositional
sophistication, but it has many beautiful moments, and McCartney's
legions of fans will need to own it.
Paul and his team continue to feed PM.com with raw and exclusive footage
of rehearsal and backstage goings-on...

Sir Paul McCartney gushes about new love Nancy at London Fashion
Week
At the grand old age of 66, Sir Paul McCartney's not our usual fodder.
But there was no way we were going to turn down the chance to sip champers with a Beatle.
And we weren't disappointed as Macca was only too pleased to give us the lowdown on new love Nancy Shevell.
He was gushing with happiness when he talked about the stunning 47-year-old he's been dating since May.
"I'm so happy," he said. As we quaffed Moet and got stuck into vegetarian cannelloni with Macca he raved about their month-long 3,000- mile road trip across seven US states.
"We had a brilliant time in the US. We stayed mainly in hotels but did the whole Route 66 gig," he told us.
"It's an amazing thing to do - I would recommend it.
"It was great and we're so happy."
We met up with Macca at the exclusive 30 Days Of Fashion And Beauty bash at London Fashion Week.
Wearing a dapper suit and,
er, trainers, Paul looked on proudly as his photographer daughter,
Mary, auctioned off six framed portraits,
raising over £42,000 ($84,000) for the MacMillan cancer
charity at London's Natural History Museum. Mingling with celebrities
including Elle Macpherson, Erin O'Connor and Kate Hudson, he tucked
into veggie canapes including a
miniature courgette gratin from first wife, Linda's
range.
The singer cheered on as a photograph of his other daughter, fashion designer Stella, sitting on a horse, was sold for £8,500 ($17,000). Other works auctioned off included a portrait of supermodel Kate Moss and a photo of Oscar-winning actress, Tilda Swinton.
But there was no stopping Macca singing Nancy's praises. While his American socialite girlfriend chatted to mutual friends, he was overheard saying: "Things are going great. We enjoy one another's company and Nancy gets on brilliantly with the family.
"It is still early days but we are very much together. She is wonderful.
"Our American trip was great, I really enjoyed it. It was good to get away for a bit. We saw some places I'll never forget. But I must say it's nice to be back, too."
Leaving shortly before 9pm, Paul later hosted a dinner for family, friends and Nancy at nearby restaurant Establish & Sons.
Four months ago Macca's divorce from ex-wife Heather was finalised.
Sir Paul has
Nancy's backing on controversial mission to Israel
Facing the inevitable barrage of criticism from the Palestinian
lobby as he prepares to perform in Israel, Sir Paul McCartney has no more staunch a supporter for his mission
than his girlfriend, Nancy
Shevell.
"She was very keen from day one that he should go," says an associate of the former Beatle. "She plans to join him out there and is greatly looking forward to it."
This week, Miss Shevell, 47, told friends at a private view of Mary McCartney's new photographic exhibition at the Natural History Museum, in London: "Paul is really excited about playing at Tel Aviv, and so am I, as I'm Jewish." Sir Paul, 66, was banned by the Israeli government from performing in the country back in 1965 as it was believed that the Beatles' music would corrupt young fans. "I'm really looking forward to it," he told Mandrake at the party. "I'm sure it will be a great experience."
The musician has always been
willing to take advice from the women in his life: Linda McCartney impressed upon him the merits of vegetarianism;
and during his second marriage, to Heather Mills,
he took up her causes, such as the abolition of landmines.
Mandrake wonders if Miss Shevell may yet be able to convert Sir
Paul to Judaism if, as rumoured, he makes her wife number three.
