Maybe I’m amazed — to quote Sir Paul McCartney — that the legendary former Beatle, leader of Wings and now a solo artist, will be performing this weekend in central Arkansas, Jack W. Hill writes in Thursday’s Style section.
Of course, McCartney will not be performing solo at North Little Rock’s Verizon Arena, although the name of his tour, “One on One,” seems to suggest that.
While some notices for the show stated that he would be making his first appearance in Arkansas, they were quickly edited to change the word “appearance” to “performance,” since anyone who has visited Walnut Ridge in recent years has learned of The Beatles’ brief stopover there in 1964, at the height of “Beatlemania.”
