About

Beatle Paul McCartney has twice been turned away from New York’s most fashionable restaurant, Twenty ONE.

He went to lunch at the restaurant, which is frequented by Aristotle and Jackie Onassis, with his 18-months-old daughter, Alice [sic].

But the manager, Monte Seldman, turned Paul away because he was wearing sneakers – and no tie.

The same evening, Paul returned to the restaurant for dinner with his wife Linda.

He was wearing a long overcoat and he rushed upstairs to the restaurant keeping the coat on. He said he was cold.

But when the management asked him to take his coat to the cloakroom, they discovered he was wearing neither a tie nor a jacket. Once again he was asked to leave.

Paul and his family are in New York visiting his in-laws and “getting away from it all”.

Maccazine - Volume 40, Issue 3 - RAM Part 1 - Timeline

This very special RAM special is the first in a series. This is a Timeline for 1970 – 1971 when McCartney started writing and planning RAM in the summer of 1970 and ending with the release of the first Wings album WILD LIFE in December 1971. [...] One thing I noted when exploring the material inside the deluxe RAM remaster is that the book contains many mistakes. A couple of dates are completely inaccurate and the story is far from complete. For this reason, I started to compile a Timeline for the 1970/1971 period filling the gaps and correcting the mistakes. The result is this Maccazine special. As the Timeline was way too long for one special, we decided to do a double issue (issue 3, 2012 and issue 1, 2013).
