McCartney's Rehearsals Draw Complaints
1 hour, 18 minutes ago
LONDON - He may be one of the world's most popular musicians, but Paul McCartney (news) failed to impress residents in a corner of east London when he began rehearsing nearby.

The former Beatle's raucous sessions in the Millennium Dome drew complaints from people living on the other side of the Thames River. Local officials have promised to monitor noise levels emanating from the site where McCartney, 61, is preparing for an upcoming tour.
"I thought someone was listening to a ghettoblaster in one of the other flats," local resident Eric Pemberton, 67, said of the noise. "I had the windows closed and the front door just open enough to let the cat in and out.
"It took me a while to realize that this bass was coming from the Dome on the other side of the river," said Pemberton, who lives in the London district of Tower Hamlets. The Dome is situated in the district of Greenwich, south of the Thames.
"I rang up the environmental health officers at the council and they told me 'It's Paul McCartney,'" Pemberton said. "I said 'So what? He doesn't pay my (taxes), and if it was me that was doing this I would have been prosecuted.'
"I thought it was quite unacceptable and even my cat was disturbed," he added.
McCartney's spokesman expressed regret for the excess noise.
"We love animals and so we're sorry about Mr. Pemberton's cat," he told Press Association, the domestic British news agency. Several calls made by The Associated Press to the spokesman went unanswered.
A spokeswoman for Greenwich council confirmed that McCartney was using the Dome for rehearsals and that the council had received complaints from Tower Hamlets residents, although she didn't know how many.
A spokesman for Tower Hamlets said the authority would monitor the noise coming from the Dome to ensure it didn't exceed an agreed level of 92 decibels.
No one was immediately available for comment at English Partnerships, the government agency that owns the Millennium Dome site.

At least he's still involved with creating new music (album due in late 2004/early 2005) and drawing some attention, unlike our dried-up heroes... |

LOL. Well it would seem that is the case. Macca does seem to be more creative these days. I dunno....I don't like Macca that much but gotablouse does make a valid point. But like the say "the boys will be the boys". If Keith does do a thing with the Wino's this summer that should limber him up. But If I were a betting man, and I am, I'd bet the Stones next record will be great.

I don't think those figures are accurate MB..maybe a bout 40%...Macca is a cheap, obnoxious, attention grabbing, song credit revisionist, who hopefully will be crushed by a giant redwood tree. |

Well I don't know. I did a "pop survey" thread about a year ago thinking we'd have some fun with some serious Macca bashing but I backed off from that idea as Macca's came out with a good support base. I was surprised that he came out so high. But...oh well. |

Those who like Macca, IMHO, are not and could never be real Stones fans...and I am dead serious about this. |

I never liked Angela Lansbury, and I do not like her twin brother Macca either. He can make all the dough he wants, he only got mine because I like Elvis Costello and bought the album they co-wrote. Will someone take him to Madame Tussad's and give him the internal wax treatment? |

Well I'm not sure that one can actually be a real Beatles fan and like Macca say nothing about a real Stones fan. Lennon fired him. How Do You Sleep is still a great song. |

Hehe. With the exception of the redwood tree wish, I agree with you.
His concerts have very little to do with his underrated solo career.

Oh no I don't think so. Just a bit of that sappy sentimentalists' crap, when some sappy wimp got his girlfriend knocked up. Trigger Happy Daddy with no self control. |

Macca is a "nice guy" and all that but he always reminded me of the guy that needed a good old fashion horse-whipping out back of the barn. For his own good mind you. |
