This is not a confirmed fact, but there are some rumblings that Sir Paul McCartney might perform with Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic (two of Nirvana's surviving members) tonight at the gigantic 12-12-12 Sandy benefit concert at Madison Square Garden. Wow. So, does this mean that in another dimension, Kurt Cobain is planning a surprise performance with John Lennon and George Harrison? Or a sign that the world really going to end this month? I will offer the caveat that this story is coming from The Sun, but still. If it had to, the world probably could go ahead and end after bearing witness to such a brilliant collaboration.

I was lucky enough to have $250 seats to see Sir Paul in St. Louis last month. This has nothing to do with the story, I just feel like telling everyone.

Is that all they needed? A replacement left-handed tenor with a knack for penning radio-friendly unit shifters?

Boy, I’d pay cash money to see this if the entire set consisted of, say, Rush covers.

I hear they wanted Leonard Cohen to play Kurt but he couldn’t do it.

That’s like saying that Paul will be performing with Elvis tonight.

Rumor: Paul McCartney might be performing with Nirvana tonight
