My Nature Hike with Paul

Thanks to everyone for filling out the Tiger Beat form, that was hilarious! I still want to hear from Edison and Rakesh, however--so get on it, boys! :) It's the post before this one.

So anyways, last night I was hanging out with Paul McCartney and I really wanted to tell him that he's my favorite Beatle but I kept chickening out. I mean, it's not even entirely true. It's just that while watching some documentary stuff I found him to be the least ugly, the funniest, and the best dressed.
He joined up with me on this nature hike. It was more like an outdoor course. You start out white water rafting, then hike for a while, climb mountains, etc. Tough stuff. I was thinking about how Dr. Landy forced Brian Wilson to do one of those for a week, to show him he was capable of anything. In my case, it was exhilirating. Especially the rafting since I can hardly swim. There was a waterfall involved somewhere.
Then Paul came along and I talked to him about Let It Be. I'm not a Beatles fan, but once every few years I get obsessed with one of their songs. Rocky Raccoon; Imagine (OK, that's Lennon's solo, but close enough); Hey Jude; now it's Let It Be. A few days ago I was writing a song on the piano and was satisfied with it until I thought, "Wait. Something's familiar." I'd inadvertantly taken the chords from Let It Be. I had to revamp the tune because I started humming Let It Be instead of my own stuff. It worked out. So, since it's been on my mind, I brought it up to Paul. I told him I dug it and asked him about the lyrics.
"You know, I never heard the lyrics until a week ago," I told him. Then I think I asked about the drug references or whatever. He was laid back about the whole thing, even when I started saying "Beatles" with a glottal stop, Cockney-style.
"How do you say it?" I wanted to know. I was sort of poking fun, but he was cool. Nice guy. Too bad it was all a dream.
