and now Sir Paul is the latest celebrity to come here to beat up on the
fishermen who harvest seals on our coasts.

He'll have to be careful though. A couple of years ago Martin Sheen did
the same thing and almost met his own Apocalypse on Quebec's Iles de la
Madeleine. An angry mob surrounded his hotel, and Sheen beat a hasty
retreat on his helicopter after police were called in to protect him.
English superstars don't carry the same weight in French Quebec.



Let's hope Sir Paul doesn't try to hand feed one of the cute helpless
harmless little harbour seals. He may find out the hard way why they
are called loup marins (sea wolves) in french. OTOH he hasn't produced
much music worth listening to in recent years so if he gets his hand bit
off it's no great loss to the world.
