It was 40 years ago today...

..that Ed Sullivan first saw the Beatles in a London airport. The wild scene created by the fans convinced him to sign the Fabs to appear on his show.

A picture of Beatrice Milly McCartney online

It's at the Liverpool Echo site. (Thanks to everyone who emailed us.)

It's a boy ... er, a girl!

If all indications are correct, Paul just might have extracted a little bit of revenge for some of the recent stories that have been published about him.

As we hear it, the story about the McCartneys' new baby being a boy originated with Paul and Heather and was spread to relatives, who, in turn, spread it to the Mirror.

And so on, and so on, and so on.

Nobody asked us, but geez, isn't this just a little bit tacky? Why taint a joyful occasion like this with that kind of game?

Besides extracting a bit of revenge, Paul probably didn't make any new friends among the press corps.

Oh well...

In any event, we wish much joy to the new parents.

And much luck with the press.

Here's a poem in tribute to the birth sent to us in advance by Claudio Dirani:

To Beatrice McCartney

The Star That Shines So Brighter ...

A new message arrived for a woman and a man
Whilst both were waiting for a velvet cry
That was the most expected unexpected light
In time
The Star That Shines so brighter
(than everything left behind)

She told him it had come as a miracle
Defying worlds and words of badmouth
Unexpectable shout
That was the most expected unexpected light
In time
The Star That Shines so brighter
(than everything left behind)

He - joyful - singing songs that he thought were his alone (alone)
(now it belongs to the ones who love_
She - powerful - strongest than the strongest rock from the universe
(and sweeter than the sweetest sweet)
Finally together now they saw the light
In time
The Star That Shines so brighter
(than everything left behind)

And now they are singing aloud becaus the world was just waiting for another sunrise.
