CLEVELAND — While here for a campaign appearance on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton diverted from her schedule to meet with someone whom she has credited with helping her get through some angst-ridden days as a college student: Sir Paul McCartney.

After the Democratic presidential nominee headlined a rally at a local high school, her motorcade pulled into the Quicken Loans Arena downtown — the site of last month's Republican National Convention — where the former Beatle was scheduled to play a concert Wednesday night.

McCartney greeted Clinton backstage, where they talked privately for about 30 minutes, according to an aide. Topics were said to include the presidential race, their families and the Summer Olympics in Rio, with Clinton offering McCartney congratulations for a strong performance by the British delegation.

Clinton, who enrolled in Wellesley College in 1965, told Fox News in 2009 that she had turned to the Beatles for more than just music during those days.

1. That is so cool!

Thanks for posting this.

[misterhighwasted]

3. Indeed. Amazing that Hillary with all her global travels & meeting of dignitaries,

looks absolutely starstruck in this photo.
"OMG I can't believe I'm standing here with my teen idol, Paul McCartney. "The Beatles!!!""

[Roy Rolling]

50. thinking the same thing

She met with other presidents, dictators, kings, and queens, but this is a BEATLE!

I would be grinning the same way.

[awoke_in_2003]

60. There are lots of world leaders

but only 4 Beatles, and only 2 that are living.

[misterhighwasted]

65. And they are ledgends of light vs forces of dark

[spike jones]

68. Wait a minute...

I heard that Paul died in 1968. Where the hell have I been?

[maddiemom]

70. "Turn me on, Dead Man?"

[lunamagica]

2. I LOVE this! Thanks!

[onehandle]

4. We saw Paul here in Philly just before the DNC.

I could have easily guessed that he's with her.

[misterhighwasted]

5. I wanna hold your hand

10. "I wanna hold your hand" - Little Marco's new theme song?

[misterhighwasted]

13. Haa..sorry Marco..too late to this party!

More like the song "HELP" for little washed up Marco.

"Help me get my feet back on the ground"!
Marco's nobody anymore. Waa Waa Waaa.

[misterhighwasted]

15. Its Hillary's song.

F off marco..

[keithbvadu2]

37. They can share it.

It's not Sir Paul's hand that Little Marco wants to hold.

[niyad]

25. and thank you for posting from a favourite show--morecambe and wise!!

[montana_hazeleyes]

39. Hillary is so pretty.

Chelsea looks a lot like her. They are both beautiful and smart.

[63splitwindow]

6. +1 K & R

Good for the future President of the United States. It is good to see her smile like that.

[skylucy]

7. OMG! This made my day. I am a long time Beatlemaniac and a long time Hillary admirer!

And I get to see Paul McCartney in Sacramento in October and Hillary elected to the White House in November.

[misterhighwasted]

9. Oh wow!! Thats practically life changing..!

Paul McCartney will arrive just in time to accompany Hillary's proper & dignified entry into the history books for eternity.
AND YOU GET TO BE THERE!!!

[calimary]

22. I am the same, in both cases, skylucy!

Sounds like you're in for a very satisfying autumn!

I've loved the Beatles from the first time I heard them, in late 1963. I remember thinking with some wistfulness that it was a shame President Kennedy didn't live to see them.

And as for Hillary, she had me at "well, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies..." I've always believed that if you're blessed, in whatever way you're blessed, then you're obligated to use your gifts. For the greater good. For the benefit of others and your own growth as a person with a conscience. Use your gifts! And I don't mean just use 'em to make money. Use them to help people, or inspire people, or invigorate people, or comfort people, or educate or enlighten people, or entertain people to help take their minds off their troubles. Dammit, it's not supposed to be about getting rich(er) and (more) famous. This is the Presidency of the United States, not a Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus!

It's really distressing to wrap the ol' brain around this concept - as it is actually playing out, in reality. Right before our eyes. Right NOW. Sheesh... This is really where we are. There's one serious candidate from one of the two major parties, and a shrieking carnival freak who lives to stir shit up is from the other. It's bewildering. I've seen a lot of Presidential election cycles in my day. None like this!

[63splitwindow]

34. And both of you have Beatles related screennames here.

[ClusterFreak]

8. Sir Paul and "Momma Miss America"

That's a lesser-known solo McCartney song from either his first or second post-Beatles album, originally written for his late first wife Linda, but at least as a title goes, fits nicely as a caption for this pic. At least I think so.

[misterhighwasted]

12. Agree. I like the "Beatles Bible" for its interesting facts:

And much much more

The Beatles perform for the first time in Hamburg, Germany.
1960

[calimary]

[jberryhill]

19. Oddly enough, his ex Heather Mills has endorsed Trump...

She was quoted as saying, "I can certainly identify with Mr. Trump, because his campaign doesn't have a leg to stand on."

[misterhighwasted]

33. Doh!

[wysi]

20. Awesome

Love them both!

[Sugarcoated]

21. Cool!!!

[oberliner]

23. He posted the pic on his twitter with that caption

So presumably that sentiment is his.

[Sugarcoated]

27. Nice

Paul is a good guy. That's goin on FB

[niyad]

28. wow--they both look fabulous!!

[dubyadiprecession]

29. Paul McCartney grew up in government housing.

Unlike many of the wealthy who started with nothing, paul never forgot where he came from.

[rug]

30. He's got trump's number too.

[misterhighwasted]

32. LOL..its almost like destiny unfolding before our eyes

Perfect song for a fool named Donald Trump.

[liberalmuse]

31. This is so nice!

After a day like today, this picture and that caption put a smile on my face! Woohoo!

[misterhighwasted]

36. Yup. This election is the difference between The Dark & The Light

35. She probably had as big a crush on him as I did @

[misterhighwasted]

38. Yes, as she says at the Wapo Link above:

Clinton, who enrolled in Wellesley College in 1965, told Fox News in 2009 that she had turned to the Beatles for more than just music during those days.

“As I went through my angst period and struggled with the challenges of living in the real world, the more existential message struck home,” Clinton said during the interview, conducted while she was secretary of state.

Clinton said that she considered McCartney and John Lennon to be “geniuses,” adding that “I’m just glad that I got to live through that period.”

Clinton’s affinity for the Fab Four has continued to present day. In April, among 25 “fun facts” she shared with Us Weekly, was this one: “I am, and always will be, a Beatles fan.”
HRC

Many can relate to her words & that unsettled time in their own lives. To that particular generation and those to come" The Beatles" were personal, and eternal.

[NastyRiffraff]

43. I knew she had to be a Beatles fan!

She probably had a crush on Paul like I did. So glad she met him!

I was obsessed with the Beatles when I was 16, particularly Paul. I still have all their CDs. It doesn't surprise me that Hillary is a fan.

[nikto]

40. Too bad John Lennon isn't still alive

I wonder what he might have to say about today's madness.

[C Moon]

41. "Instant Karma's Gonna Get You"

[nikto]

45. He'd probably say that about TPP

Just a guess.

[C Moon]

46. I think he would have run for congress, eventually.

[nikto]

47. If he had decided to become a US Citizen,that might have been possible

He and Yoko did love NYC, for sure.

[C Moon]

56. Oh. That's right: the US was giving him a hard time for a while (under Nixon, I think).

[nikto]

66. Yup. In the 60s/70sThe FBI was keeping America safe ....

From people like John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Martin Luther King.

[SunSeeker]

42. K & R

Beatles music will hold up, my kids love them too.

Rock on Sir Paul.

[sylvanus]

67. Well of course he's supporting her,

She's rocking the nero jacket he wore in the Magical Mystery Tour. Nice.

Interesting!

Paul and John on the Tour Bus

The Beatles devised, wrote and directed a television film called Magical Mystery Tour which was broadcast on BBC Television at Christmas, 1967
Even before Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, had hit the shops, the idea of the programme had been born and work had commenced on the title track.
