When Paul McCartney missed out on playing a gig for Obama


Sir Paul McCartney beatles legend, he was turned away by security guards at the White House when he arrived to play a gig for U.S. President Barack Obama last month.
McCartney, 68, had arrived at the iconic building in Washington, D.C. ahead of his scheduled performance for the president, but he and his band were not allowed through the strict security checks.
Guards on the gate eventually sent McCartney to a different entrance, but the delay left the musician fearing he would miss the gig.
"The security getting through of the White House (was memorable). For the rehearsal, we got through fine. But for the real gig, we were sort of not let in," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
"At the gate we said, 'We're the entertainment.' He (the security guard) said, 'No, you'll have to walk around the other block.'
"It was heavy traffic, so we're going, 'Oh geesh. Wouldn't you just know it'," he added.

Mccartney's Guilt Over Sending Children To Private School


SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY's daughter STELLA feels guilty about sending her children to a "posh" private school because she's convinced her dad's decision to enrol her in a "normal" facility was "the best thing" he could have done for her.
The Beatles legend sent the fashion designer to a local government run institute because he wanted to make sure she remained grounded despite his superstar status.
Stella previously dubbed her father a "tight b**tard" for the decision, but now credits the musician for making the right choice.
The designer, who is recently expecting her fourth child, has decided to send her kids to an expensive private school, but she fears it will have a negative impact on them.
She tells Britain's Daily Mail, "If at any stage it looks like they're becoming total jerks and saying 'hello mummy' in posh voices, instead of running in and just being their awful selves, then you have to knock it on the head (stop it). It's one of my biggest internal struggles the whole schooling system in London and the fact that my kids are going to a posh school. It freaks me out...
"Going to the normal local comprehensive (school) was one of the best things that could have happened to me. You didn't boast about stuff otherwise you'd get beaten up. It was healthy to look how most people in the world live. That's why I freak out that my kids are doing that."
