Subject: Beatles News Update - January24, 2005



PAUL McCARTNEY will perform in the Ameriquest Mortgage Super Bowl XXXIX Halftime Show on FOX at ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida on Sunday, February 6.

"There's nothing bigger then being asked to perform at the Super Bowl," said McCartney. "We're looking forward to rocking the millions at home and in the stadium."

"We're thrilled Sir Paul McCartney has agreed to perform at halftime of Super Bowl XXXIX," said FOX Sports Chairman David Hill. "He is the world's most influential rock artist, and his music will forever be a part of our culture. He, more than any other musician, lives up to this year's Super Bowl theme of Building Bridges. His music bridges generations, countries, cultures and musical genres. I'm also sure that the duet Paul performed with Terry Bradshaw at Super Bowl XXXVI was such a major event, that he couldn't wait to reunite with Terry in Jacksonville."

This will be McCartney's second Super Bowl appearance. He provided a memorable pregame performance at Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans in 2002, singing "Freedom" at the first Super Bowl after the tragic events of September 11.

The Fox network will broadcast the Super Bowl in the United States.

Pattie Boyd to debut rock and roll photography exhibit in San Francisco

Although Pattie Boyd has remained a distinctly private person over the years, large portions of her life are truly the stuff of legend. Rock 'n' roll's ultimate muse, Boyd wed Beatle George Harrison in 1966 after meeting him two years earlier when a modeling gig led to a bit part in A Hard Day's Night. She spoke but one word in the acclaimed film, but her influence on rock history spoke volumes. Harrison wrote "Something" for her, a sublime ballad that's regarded as one of contemporary music's greatest love songs. Then, in the final stages of Boyd's 10-year union with Harrison, Eric Clapton fell for her, and wrote the anguished classic of unrequited love: "Layla," which ranked #27 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. On a happier note, after they married in 1979, Clapton penned the lovely "Wonderful Tonight" for Pattie.

Throughout her remarkable life, Boyd has documented the world around her in photographs. She began shooting in London during the heady days of the mid-'60s, when she was an icon of the city's swingin' scene, writing the column "Pattie's Letter From London" for 16 Magazine, among other pursuits. For the past two decades, Boyd has practiced photography professionally, and San Francisco Art Exchange's 2005 solo exhibition of her work marks her worldwide public gallery debut. Opening Valentine's Day, February 14, San Francisco Art Exchange (SFAE) will display over 60 original photographs spanning the past four decades. The exhibition will be curated in association with Raj Prem Fine Art Photography, with whom SFAE has had a longstanding association.

Pattie will be in San Francisco for the world premiere of her work at SFAE on Valentine's Day, February 14.
