Paul and Nancy get their kicks on Route 66 -- Saturday update

The latest from the road (Saturday afternoon update):

Route 66 News has covered the trip in two separate posts. We've had all of the details in the first post, but the second has some new information. It has one new pic of Paul we hadn't seen. One of the comments by Kirk Liefer explains the caption for that picture is wrong and "that is my husband with McCartney in Lebanon, MO. We were just stopping there for potty break for our six year old daughter on our way to Branson. The reason McCartney is holding up his finger, is that he is trying to get our son’s Karson’s attention to look at the camera. We were quite awe struck and didn’t get out our digital camera. This is just a cell phone shot."

There's a video report from Amarillo on http://www.myplains.com here that interviews local fans and they have a second video here that shows the local TV station chasing Paul all over and telling how they weren't able to catch up with him. The videos, which mention he went to Amarillo and nearby Vega, shows him in the Bronco, but he's not very visible. However, Food Network viewers will recognize Rory Schepisi, owner of the Boot Hill Saloon & Grill, in the first video.

KOTV in Tulsa has another video report about the couple's activities in that area, including a visit to Myriad Botanical Gardens. No footage at all of Paul in this one, just interviews with people who encountered him.

More to come in Sunday's website update at http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/news/mccartneyroute66.html .

Can we crow a little?

I mentioned this on the site but I'm so proud of this, excuse me if I mention it again. Andre Gardner's Beatle Minute for Aug. 5 included a reference to the site's scoop on the "Let It Be" DVD. You can hear it here: http://www.wmgk.com/Audio/tabid/209/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/853/Beatles-Minute--August-5-2008.aspx

Yoko's "Give Peace a Chance" 2008 remixes hit top spot on Billboard dance chart

Get Yoko's "Give Peace a Chance" 2008 remixes by clicking on the button

(8/9/2008) Yoko Ono's 2008 "Give Peace a Chance" remixes have hit the top spot on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Here's a statement Yoko issued Thursday:

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
NUMBER ONE!

Yoko Ono is this weeks NUMBER ONE on the American Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart for the FOURTH time -
A feat unrivalled by any other artist of her generation.

The Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart is the most authoritative dance chart in America - meaning this week more American clubbers are dancing to Yoko Ono than to any other artist, whether in the dance or the mainstream genres.

ONO’s previous Billboard No.1 dance singles have been:

Walking On Thin Ice (May 2003)
Everyman Has A Man Who Loves Him/
Every Woman Has A Woman Who Loves Her (Nov 2004)
No No No (Jan 2008)
Give Peace A Chance (v1) (v2) (Aug 2008).

Ono’s current album "Yes, I’m A Witch" has seen her work reinterpreted by some of the most credible contemporary figures in music, including Antony Heggarty, Cat Power, Jason Pierce and the Flaming Lips. Meanwhile, she continues to combine her work as one of the world’s leading conceptual artists with making music and working as a peace activist.

The success of Ono’s new version of Give Peace A Chance proves that the peace message John Lennon and Yoko worked so hard to spread has been adopted by a new generation of clubbers, music fans and DJs, to whom Yoko says simply:
I thank you with all my heart and send you much love,

yoko
