Paul McCartney---Red Wings

[mbhhofr]

Is Paul McCartney a Red Wing fan? I watched the show on PBS tonight honoring Paul McCartney receiving the Gershwin Award. It was a great show with many different artists playing his songs. The last song he did was Yesterday. The guitar that he was playing had the Detroit Red Wing logo on it. It can be seen at the 27 minute, 29 second mark of this link.

funny because he's a gretz fan, along with a sid and mario fan (awards show this year), but it's snoop. he just hops on the bandwagon and runs with it. however, he IS wearing my favorite jersey.

McCartney and the Red Wings

Why does Paul McCartney have a Red Wings logo on one of his guitars? The guitar in question is his very favorite, an Epiphone Texan. It's the guitar he used to record "Yesterday". In 1976, Paul's band Wings did a tour called "Wings Over America". In Detroit, they play the old hockey barn, Olympia Statium, where the Red Wings home ice was. When Paul saw the logo all over the place, he first thought they were for him (Wings, get it?). Someone explained about the hockey team and gave him a sticker for a souvenir, and the rest is history. (I was at that concert. It was great!)
