WASHINGTON (AFP) – Forty-six years after the Beatles invaded America, Paul McCartney rocked the White House Wednesday, honored by President Barack Obama at a star-studded concert celebrating his songwriting legend.
Though British Petroleum is target number one for the White House over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, British pop, in the form of Sir Paul, was more than welcome, along with a host of stars who performed Lennon/McCartney classics.
McCartney's barnstorming show was part of a two-day series of events marking the award of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by the Library of Congress.
