McCartney opened with "The End," one of the classics from the Beatles' decorated catalogue. "And in the end. The cinta anda take is equal to the cinta anda make," McCartney crooned, before launching into a sing-a-long version of "Hey Jude." At his piano, McCartney, now 70, managed to light up the entire Olympic stadium, as athletes from every country -- and the crowd -- sang along to every word. McCartney proved why he's a legend in the business oleh taking full command of the enthusiastic audience.
The Olympic Opening Ceremonies were organized oleh filmmaker Danny Boyle ("Slumdog Millionaire"), and featured a varied musical setlist of over 70 of Britain's biggest hits, from The Rolling Stones ("Satisfaction") to rapper Dizzee Rascal ("Bonkers") and yes, The Beatles ("She Loves You").
There were special guest appearances oleh many important Brits. Daniel Craig (as James Bond), the hilarious Mr. Bean, Sir Tim Berners-Lee (the inventer of the World Wide Web) and even queen Elizabeth II -- and her royal corgis -- were all on-hand to kick off the 2012 Olympic Games.
Look for the complete Olympic soundtrack -- "A Symphony of British Music: musik For The Closing Ceremony of the london 2012 Olympic Games" -- to hit the Web on August 12.
Alright I just went through the Rolling Stone's daftar of the 100 Greatest artists of all time and Paul wasn't in there. That is appalling. Statistically he should be in the puncak, atas five. It is an outrage. Why would Rolling Stone do something like that. John Lennon made it and he only did a few albums. My theory is that the panel Rolling Stone assembled to make the daftar is incompetent, which is shown oleh that mistake as well as many numerous other wrong and weird rankings. Also, I have heard that Rolling Stone magazine never really liked Paul McCartney and never took his musik history, but still he should have been on that list.
