Hyde Park Curfew

So at the end of the Bruce Springsteen concert in Hyde Park Sir Paul McCartney came onstage to have a bit of a sing song, only for the plug to b pulled halfway through the second song as they went over the curfew.
I Saw some mobile phone footage of it on the news. Everyone stops playing apart from Springsteen who carry’s on in his bombastic fist pumping manor. A bit embarrassing to say the least.

I have to applaud the authorities on this one. No I don’t care about the local residents. If you’re lucky enough (I mean rich enough) to live that central in London then expect noise. Especially in the summer months when there’s always a few concerts in Hyde Park.

What I applaud them for is not giving them time to do a rendition of Hey Jude. I’m sure they would’ve done it. And it would’ve gone on for ages.
“La la la la la la la… la la la la hey Jude, all the people at the back. La la la la la la la… la la la la hey Jude, all those in the front. La la la la la la la… la la la la hey Jude all together now.”
How much longer will McCartney continue joins other old rock stars on stage and bang out a couple of songs from the sixties?
Well there’s the Olympic closing ceremony. Then please, no more.
