Because he turns up half an hour late doesn't mean he can suit himself when he stops. He's in the middle of a residential city where it has been agreed to shut off roads for a while. If he fiunishes whenever he fancies then the roads will be open again and people won't be able to sleep.

Two of the greatest artist of all time get cut of on a sat. night for giving a BRITISH crowd what the wanted....a few up tight dick heads sure got noticed by doing this.

First you insult my country on the 4th of july and now this...i think you have some anti American issues.

BTW, when McCartney played in NY the rules were changed so his chopper could land close by to avoid driving.....a bit more respect for the Greatest Artist of all time. Seems not much respect was shown to Springsteen or McCartney by your police state! 

I understand now why you people have no guns anymore!

McCartney and Springsteen? Never heard of'm.  Must be one of those new "boy-bands" all the teen-age girls are screamin' about.  I bet they have moppy-hair and tight jeans.

Bruce Springsteen avoided the draft back in the Viet Nam era.  American hero ? I think not.

I wonder if " commoners" were raising Cain in Hyde Park could have gotten away without jail time and a hefty fine.

Maybe Sir McCartney pulled the plug on socail elite Springsteen right before playing " Born in the USA".

Whoever ultimately pulled the plug is going to be in a world of crap once Sir Paul challenges them to a turn at the lists...those Beatles sure could joust.

McCartney is and will be number one of all time. Springsteen, and John Fogerty both legends of Rock music.

The sad thing is, Paul gave MJ the advice.  What an evil friend.
