Paul McCartney was amazing. After so many years of Beatles worship, it was hard for me to grasp that I was actually watching one of them live. The crowd was enormous (sold out Philips Arena), but the feel of the concert was very close and personal. There was a great deal of Beatle-esque comedy and one-liners that kept catching me off-guard and making me laugh out loud. I watched the switch from bass to electric to acoustic guitar...to piano and then back again. I listened to the voice that never seems to change with age, and thought again of my own recent attempts at music. Maybe someday. Hehe. I loved every minute of it, from the earliest works to songs from his latest release. It was a pleasant surprise to hear unexpected tunes, but some of my most favorite moments were the old standards. Live and Let Die was a crowd stirrer, with plenty of explosive (literally) excitement, but when the lights went down and a lone candle shown during "Let it Be," a wonderful spell seemed to fall. I suppose that I could go on and on, but I'll stop now. You get the idea. :)
I received a phone call from Phonathon today. It appears that they need me to work for them after all. I'm thankful for the job, but not entirely sure how to feel. I had gotten used to the idea of not working this semester, but I keep reminding myself that money is a necessary commodity. I just realized with a sigh of relief that tomorrow is Thursday. That's one day from Friday. I love Friday because it means that the next day is Saturday. Blessed release.
