Today on ómnibus: The British Invasion

Paul McCartney is doing the Estadio Centenario on April 15th. That's right: one fabulous fourth of The Beatles is coming to Montevideo in just a few short days. Why I had to come to Uruguay to have the opportunity to see Sir Paul in concert is still unclear to me, pero estas cosas pasan.

Anyway, as a result of his impending visit, every ómnibus, supermarket, bar, and iPod-toting pedestrian is playing Beatles music. I must have heard "Hey Jude" about eight times this week, but I don't really mind. I like The Beatles. I also enjoy the spontaneous group humming/singing fits that ensue in the supermarket or on the bus when those really iconic tunes play. This one was playing as I got off the bus a few hours ago, and it has been stuck in my head ever since:

Before I mislead you too much, I'm not actually going to see him in concert. Two reasons: first, the price of a good seat was far from reasonable; second, I discovered shortly before the tickets went on sale that I have a friend who lives literally 2 blocks from the open-air stadium. We are going to listen to the musical stylings of Pauly McC from the comfort of his balcony, subsidizing with youtube videos when necessary. Good times.
