Since the begining beginning sir Paul Mccartney has been entertaining and electrifying his fans with his tremendous live performance in concerts, this times he rock n roll Argentina with his outstanding performance just like he had done so far.
SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY rejects to drink water onstage because he doesn't want to look unprofessional.
The 68 year old Paul three hour concerts to regularly performs but insists on not guzzling water, admitting his preference harks back to his days in the Beatles.
Paul Mccartney tells to the Britain's Daily Express, "I don't know, when I'm on I just wouldn't want to drink water. There is water (available) but I think it's the tradition that I'm from."
But the Brit admits before his gigs he does take care of his vocal cords backstage, adding: "I inhale Olbas Oil in hot water put a few drops and inhale the steam or sometimes gargle salt water. I don't know if it does anything but the ritual does. It helps me mentally."
It takes character to withstand the rigours of adulation. Two men who know what it is to receive the worship of the world met in Washington recently, and the outcome was intriguing.
Last week, President Barack Obama welcomed Sir Paul McCartney, the most prolific of the Beatles, to the White House and awarded him with the Gershwin Prize, commemorating his magnificent musical career.
The presentation was the culmination of a star-studded event, wherein Obama helped McCartney croon his old ballad Michelle to the First Lady. Unless you happen to be a Gulf Coast resident who wishes Obama would call a halt to White House parties until the massive oil leak has been capped, I’m sure it was a touching moment. Maybe McCartney should have included Fixing a Hole in his playlist.
But Sir Paul couldn’t just Let it Be. After thanking Obama and the award’s sponsor, the Library of Congress, McCartney added, “After the last eight years, it’s great to have a president who knows what a library is.”
This little dig was, of course, the one-millionth instance of some bien-pensant coming up with a new way to call George W. Bush stupid. As it happens, Bush’s wife was a librarian, so one assumes that as a young caveman, the future president would at least pop by the place to drag her home to cook the day’s hunt.
But let’s say it’s true, and Bush is the most remarkable mouth-breather imaginable. So what? He will never hold political office again. Why sully a celebration by trashing a man who’s long gone?
Obama has made a habit of blaming Bush for everything from economic collapse to vapour lock, but unlike McCartney, he has practical reasons for doing so. To wit, the longer Obama can blame Bush, the longer he can avoid criticism himself.
Even so, in the whole history of humankind, scant few have ever been the objects of such global adoration as have Obama and Sir Paul. What, then, are they so cross about?
Obama could be forgiven for being frustrated, as his presidency has not been the success folks expected. As leader of the hopey-changey crusade that swept the world in 2008, he had nowhere to go but down.
McCartney referred to “the last eight years,” and it bears mentioning that Obama has been in the Oval Office for 17 months. In that time, America’s budget deficit has tripled, unemployment has hovered around 10%, and Obama’s approval ratings have plunged.
The Beatles, too, began to crack at the height of their success, including the 1966 comment by McCartney’s songwriting partner, John Lennon, that they were, “more popular than Jesus” (Lennon claimed the remarks were misinterpreted; the Vatican posthumously pardoned him in 2008).
Like many young people, I went through a “Beatles phase” (I have yet to experience an “Obama phase,” but anything’s possible), wherein I became a font of trivia about them. But one learns that everybody is fallible, celebrity notwithstanding.
These men, Obama and McCartney, have had it all. They have been to the mountaintop, yet they are still capable of bitterness. How is that possible? Perhaps, to paraphrase another sensation, Shakespeare, the fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves. Maybe success and happiness are states of mind, no matter what the world thinks.

Sir Paul McCartney's former wife Heather Mills has told Mandrake that Bea inspired children in the audience at a stage show to follow her in a series of dance moves.
"We were going to the Brighton run of Mamma Mia! and I told Bea that everyone would be dressed up in Seventies gear, so I put on a dark wig and went as Frida, and Bea was Agnes: we did the whole nine yards," said Mills, who overcame the loss of a leg to compete in the television show Dancing On Ice.
"But we got there and we were the only ones [dressed up]. I was mortified. Bea was like the Pied Piper. She got up and had all the little girls from the audience doing dance moves and singing along to songs in the aisles."
Mills, whose divorce from Sir Paul was so acrimonious that she threw a glass of water over Fiona Shackleton, his lawyer, in court, has no taste for The Beatles. "I'd much rather listen to Wagner or Shostakovich," she said at the opening of the Abba World experience at Earls Court.
"I love classical. When I was a girl my dad would always take us to listen to classical concerts."
She added, with typical modesty: "I've actually done a lot of work on promoting classical music behind the scenes. It's something I might bring to TV next year and aim it at children, to encourage kids to be turned
