亿万富翁庆生 经典传奇Paul McCartney献声
文／夏礼章
金钱也许不能买到爱情，但却能邀请来摇滚巨星在生日宴中演出，上周末Paul McCartney与John Fogerty应邀在拉斯维加的一所度假饭店，为亿万富翁David Bonderman七十大寿宴演出。纽约时报报导Paul McCartney这位前披头合唱团传奇歌手在台上唱了二个多小时，曲目包括the Beatles的经典歌曲如Revolution与The Long and Winding Road，而John Fogerty则唱了Credence Clearwter Revival时代的畅销曲如Proud Mary与Bad Moon Rising等，John Fogerty这位当年也很红的摇滚乐手，之后还把他和Paul McCartney一同表演的照片放到Facebook里，让歌迷们对他俩一同分享的那张酬劳支票有了很大的想像空间。▲前the Beatles团员Paul McCartney。 (图／达志影像／美联社提供。)
据报导这场派对有约七百位David Bonderman的朋友和事业伙伴参加，还请来谐星Robin Willams表演，这并非这位大亨初次办如此盛大的巨星生日派对，当年Bonderman六十岁时也请到滚石合唱团The Rolling Stones与John Mellencamp在拉斯维加有名的硬石赌场饭店演出。Paul McCartney的这场演出酬劳估计超过一百万美元，但别担心，David Bonderman当然付得起，因为富比士杂志估计Bonderman的财产值26亿美元，他是the Capital私募基金公司的共同创办人。The Long and Winding Road是the Beatles 1970年解散前的最后一首畅销曲，曾获二周排行榜冠军。
The Long And Winding Road (Lennon/McCartney)
The long and winding road that leads to your doorWill never disappearI've seen that road before it always leads me hereLeads me to your door[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/beatles/the+long+and+winding+road_10026544.html ]The wild and windy night that the rain washed awayHas left a pool of tears crying for the dayWhy leave me standing here, let me know the wayMany times I've been alone and many times I've criedAnyway you'll never know the many ways I've triedAnd still they lead me back to the long and winding roadYou left me standing here a long, long time agoDon't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door
But still they lead me back to the long and winding roadYou left me standing here a long, long time agoDon't keep me waiting here (Don't keep me wait), lead me to you doorYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
