RonJonSurfer Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Note to the producers of SNL. If you have Paul McCartney as the musical guest on your show and he wants to stick around past 1:00 am to play another song...please stay on the air with him. There is very little reason to watch SNL all the way until until 1:00 am during an average week. Surely there is nothing particularly compelling on NBC that comes on at 1:00am. Why oh why would you cut Paul McCartney off in the middle of him doing a "bonus" version of "Get Back"? Could you all really be such imbeciles that you can't figure out that one of the world's musical icons has blessed you with another few minutes of a live, one-of-a-kind performance? I don't care if the majority of viewers were born 20 years after the Beatles broke up; ten years after John Lennon died...KEEP THE CAMERAS ROLLING! If a football games runs long or a baseball game goes into extra innings you somehow have the common sense to stick with it. Yet, last night you thought it made sense to end the show in the middle of Paul's performance. I haven't watched an entire episode of SNL in years, Paul McCartney's appearance was enough for me the keep watching...but you morons cut the final performace off in the middle. Was the show going to run until 1:02 am? This is Paul Frickin' McCartney jackasses...don't cut away until he says he is done. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I tuned in to SNL last night about 1/2 hour into it and had no idea Paul McCartney was on. I stopped to watch because of the other Paul. But damn, I'm glad I stayed. Me and my kid watched Paul M. and my kid was asking me questions about Paul and the Beatles and everything, because he's familiar now with a lot of the music due to Guitar Hero. Weird. He also gave me some incredible insight as to what he thinks "Band On The Run" is all about. That's a song that has always confused me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I wonder if the portion that wasn't broadcasted is available on Youtube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I loved the show. I was incredibly disappointed though that he didn't get to play all of "Get Back". But I guess Poker After Dark is just that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_M Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I heard it was out of safety concerns for Paul McCartney. Heather Mills was spotted in the audience and she was allegedly whispering something in this woman's ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
