Which singer, who had a long time ambition to have a concert in Moscow, managed to fulfill his dream in 2003 to the not-so-pleased Communist élite?
a. Bowie
b. McCartney
c. Sting
d. Bono
The answer is B, McCartney!
Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (born 18 June 1942) gained his fame as a member of The Beatles (you may have heard of them, or perhaps you're more familiar with Wings). He played on Moscow's Red Square in 2003, a feat as the former Communist U.S.S.R. had previously banned music from the Beatles as a "corrupting influence". The following year Mccartney played his 3,000th concert in St. Petersburg, Russia. For this second Russian concert, McCartney flew into the country on his 62nd birthday; after the concert he received a phone call from a fan, then-President Vladimir Putin, who telephoned him to wish him a happy birthday.
