Paul McCartney: Blackbird

Paul McCartney just concluded his "On the Run" mini tour of North America with a Thursday concert in Cincinnati. Something I learned at the Chicago show on Sunday was that his "Blackbird" song was inspired by J.S. Bach's Bourrée in E minor. And Macca did comment that he was aware that the Beatles' White Album song was difficult to play.

Not for him, of course.

Here's Paul singing "Blackbird" at the Glastonbury Festival in 2004. But at Wrigley Field, more people sang along.
