Yesterday I read an interview with a former Beatles drummer, the one who is not left handed. Mr. Best said he is quite happy, thank you, and not the least bit bitter. He has a band and is on tour.
On the other side of happy (as in not), a former bassist for the Beatles is telling Scots not to vote for independence from England. The opponents of Scottish independence say “United Kingdom,” but we all know the English want to continue running the show; after all, English armies won the wars against Welsh and Scots and Irish, and only the hard-headed Irish had the gall to keep on fighting after they were so soundly beaten ... and got back their own country.
“(CNN) -- Beatles star Paul McCartney became the latest high-profile figure to sign a letter calling on Scottish voters to choose to remain part of the United Kingdom in a vote on independence next month.
"Other famous signatories to the so-called ‘Letter to Scotland,’ organized by the Let's Stay Together campaign, include Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, physicist Stephen Hawking, actress Dame Judi Dench and celebrity TV producer Simon Cowell.
The campaign describes itself as a UK-wide effort giving a voice to ‘everyone who doesn't have a vote in the decision to break up Britain.’"

(Aw, ain’t that cute! Let’s Stay Together. Sounds like a Haley Mills song.)
