If you have been living under a rock or if you have never seen any of the Titanic movies, visit this fantastic website, http://www.titanic-facts.com to learn more about this incredible ship. Did you know that the Titanic was the largest ship of its day and it sank on its maiden voyage?  Can you imagine a brand new cruise ship sinking on it’s first voyage?  Did you know that the chairman of the company which owned the Titanic was on the ship when it hit the iceberg?  The story goes that Bruce Ismay, Chairman of the White Star Line, was picked up by a lifeboat.  Other survivors claimed that Ismay took a lifeboat seat reserved for woman and children.  He survived the sinking but lived out the remainder of his life under the cloud of being a coward.   

The story of the Titanic is so fantastic that it rivals many a Hollywood screenplay.  In fact, according to wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_about_the_RMS_Titanic#Media_and_entertainment  at least seventeen movies and documentaries about the tragedy have been produced to date.  Uncounted books have been written about the Titanic and while interest rises and falls over the years the popularity of the Titanic  story has never failed to electrify a new generation.  The world should expect to see a tremendous rise in interest about the Titanic as we approach the one hundredth anniversary in 2012.

Last week I was blessed with Paul McCartney tickets at Fenway Park in Boston. An early birthday gift from my thoughtful brother.

I had never been to Fenway so was excited about that but seeing one of the Beatles was to me a dream come true. I was just a babe when they came to the United States back in 1964 and never got the privilege to see them in concert.

Now in my 40’s I got the chance to see Paul McCartney. At 64 years old the whispers were wondering if a man of this age could possibly bring to the stage anything worth watching.

I must say for 64 years young Paul still has all the right stuff! Amazing sound and the beauty of his voice made me want to weep. All the songs he played brought the audience back to 1964 when the Beatles were high on the charts of success.

He arrived on Stage dressed in a black or dark blue suit. Handsome as always with a smile on his face. Welcoming Boston to his show. After a few songs on on that warm summer night he decided it was time to shed his jacket and underneath he sported a red pair of suspenders. You know what they say about a man who wears suspenders they are romantics! With fans on their feet and girls screaming as loud as they could he played for over two hours nonstop.

His venue ranged from old Beatles song, Hey Jude to Wings, Band on the Run. It sounded as if the entire group was once more in the stadium. When I  closed my eyes I  could see the Beatles singing to me. With pictures of John, Ringo and George flashing in the back ground tributes was made by Paul for all the fallen Beatles. To the right of the stage were red neon lighting up four walkways in remembrance of what used to be. Beautifully done and much appreciated by all.

Although you can tell he has aged he still knows how to make the woman scream and is the soft spoken gent he  has always been.

He spoke to the audience great words of what happened back then and of the members themselves. Even though it is 2009 Beatlemania still lives on.
