Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!

Here’s Adam Sandler to sing about the wonder of Thanksgiving.

Paul McCartney is okay with the idea of downloading songs and not paying for it. According to what he said to the Daily Express, he doesn’t have a problem with people going online and downloading songs for free.

He says, “It’s weird for me (the concept of downloading). I’m not from that. I’m from going into a shop and buying a 45. We’ve come through vinyl, tapes and CDs - it’s all the same, except people don’t pay for it (now). I don’t mind. It works out.”

What’s weird for me is that none of the Beatles songs are available for downloads in iTunes.
