Paul McCartney in Branson — Beatles museum, perhaps?

Categories: Music, Music Biz

Though he’s been spotted this month getting his kicks on a road trip along the original Route 66, fans may be most intrigued by a detour Paul McCartney took to Branson, MO — home to the Yakov Smirnoff comedy show, the Oak Ridge Boys Theater, and possibly, a Beatles museum. A local source says Macca visited Louise Harrison, the sister of George Harrison and the owner of Branson’s Starlite Theater, where Beatles tribute band Liverpool Legends appear regularly. No word on what the two discussed, but an obvious topic would be the Beatles museum Harrison has long planned to open in the tourist town using her own memorabilia collection. Harrison’s partners say the museum might open this fall. Branson has been trying to upgrade its kitschy image — could a blessing from an actual Beatle be the city’s ticket to ride?

    I’m not surprised he took the detour to Branson – I’ve known about the potential for a Beatles museum for a while. Liverpool Legends is a great Beatles tribute band (if you ever see them, say hi to Bob, their “5th Beatle”) and have had the blessing of Louise for several years; she even introduced their “George” and “John” to Paul at a 2002 Chicago concert stop.
    Now if only I would’ve gone to Joliet two Saturdays ago…

    Of course Paul went to Branson. Where else would a vegetarian high class individual go to relax among others of his own kind. I hope he caught the Dixie Stampede show.

    That sounds amazing. Paul in Branson! Wow I’ll bet the Museum is going to be really something special. Between him and George Harrison’s sis i would imagine they have some really neat things!
