Will McCartney Play First Citi Field Concert?

0509sheamacca.jpg Must be tough to be a Yankees and a Macca fan. Looks like Paul McCartney is going to relive the glory days by playing the very first concert at Citi Field, 44 years after he played the very first concert at Shea Stadium with the Beatles, and not even one year after helping bid farewell (with Billy Joel) to that same stadium. The rumor is that he'll be sonically christening the new stadium with shows on July 17th and 18th, and a third performance may be added on the 21st. The Mets have some downtime in their schedule from July 12th and 27th. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, here's some video from his first appearance on a ball field.

That first sentence is stupid.

Stupid choice. How about Paul Simon? RUN DMC (minus 1)? Someone who is actually from Queens, or at least a NYer...

I'd rather listen to a Ramones CD played over Citi Field's PA system than stupid Paul McCartney. And I don't even like The Ramones. But I guess that wouldn't fill the stadium with old folks who have $400 to drop to see their idol from 40 years ago.

Paul Simon is a Yankees fan.

Jen Carlson should know that the Strokes and Yo La Tengo are Mets fans.
