Good grief!

In, I think, the first time they have played together the two music giants Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney had the electricity turned off as they were playing in Hyde Park, London, because they had gone over the allotted time. One of the musicians said that if they had finished they would still have been off stage by 11pm.

It is incredible that we have still got these people, whose more-than-my-job's-worth attitude seems to have ruined a memorable occasion. Here, I think, is a good direction to point the expenditure cutbacks.

Oddly enough it is not the first time it has happened to McCartney, whose Beatles concert from the studio roof in 1969 was also stopped by police.

FUNNY that MADONNA had no problems in her Hyde Park appearance - The speculation on this side of "The Pond" is that SHE had staff who passed "The LITERARY TEST" before hiring! ;-) ** FURTHER = THEY could 'tell time' and read their ROLEX watches, too!-30-
