Tonight’s mystery artist when out on tour uses a curtain for the door to his trailer and people wanted to come in ring a cowbell in place of knocking. A bit eccentric, think you know who he might be??

I found this high security risk behavior in a recent article by Rolling Stone with Paul McCartney. Guess you never really get over being a hippie. Here are my favorite excerpts from the interview:

Paul McCartney strums an acoustic guitar on a sofa in his London office, humming to himself as he tries to recall a melody from his adolescence – one of the first, never-recorded songs he wrote with his teenage friend John Lennon, on their way to starting the Beatles in Liverpool. "It was like..." McCartney says, then hits a rockabilly rhythm on his guitar and sings in a familiar, robust voice: "They said our love was just fun/The day that our friendship begun/There's no blue moon that I can see/There's never been in history/Because our love was just fun."

"'Just Fun'," McCartney says, announcing the title proudly. "I had a little school-exercise book where I wrote those lyrics down. And in the top right-hand corner of the page, I put 'A Lennon-­McCartney original'. It was humble beginnings," he admits. "We developed from that."

"It's always held a fascination for me, getting up in front of people and performing," McCartney says in Philadelphia. "From the beginning, I was trying to figure it out: What's the best way to keep true to yourself yet have people on your side?" He is wearing a dark-blue short-sleeve shirt and jeans, his bare feet propped on a coffee table. His trailer has a curtain for a door, and visitors announce themselves by ringing a red cowbell on a table near the entrance because, he points out, "You can't knock on a curtain."

Here they are with tonight’s featured song:
