Macca seemed to be in a jovial mood, and when asked if he has to be addressed as "Sir Paul," he replied, "King Paul will do." Comparably, when reminded that he last played Dodger Stadium 48 years ago with the Fab Four, he said, "It couldn't have been me!"
But as for the long-told rumor about how close he and John Lennon came to actually showing up on "Saturday Night Live" in 1976 when Lorne Michaels offered the Beatles a whopping $3000 to reunite? "It nearly happened man, it very, very nearly happened."

The legend has always been that Paul was visiting John in New York City, and that they were watching "SNL" at Lennon's apartment. McCartney told the KROQ hosts, "We're just sitting around and having a laugh and 'Saturday Night Live' came on, and he said, 'Have you been watching this?' 'No, I'm living in England, why, what's going on?' He said, 'They've got this amazing thing going on, where Lorne Michaels came on last week and he said I'm entitled to offer you, the Beatles, so much money [to reunite].' It wasn't an awful lot - it was the standard rate.

"So John said, 'It's a hoot, you know what would be great, we can go down there now. It's only around the corner, we should show up.' For about five minutes, we were going 'We've got to do it.' Then it was like, 'Are you kidding, let's stay in and watch the show, stay comfortable, if we go down there it's gonna be crazy. It would be a great story,' but we decided against it."
