Cruising on the River

 













Welcome once again to Tim in The PM on W-T-I-M FM.


Song writer, legend, singer and one fourth of the Beatles, Paul McCartney happened to be in Little Rock today and we caught up with him on a boat cruising down the beautiful Arkansas River.

He mentioned to me that he had recently visited with an old friend of mine and had some exciting news to tell me.

Tim:     Paul, what a joy to be with you on such a glorious day of sunshine here in Arkansas. I understand you spent some time talking to my “old flame.” Just what is it she wanted you to tell me?

PM:      She loves you
Tim:     WHAT? She told you that?
PM:      Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tim:    You are gong to have to say that one more time.
PM:     She loves you
Tim:    Are you sure that’s what she said?
PM:     Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tim:     I thought that was over years ago

PM:     You think you lost your love,
Tim:     That was such a very long time ago
PM:     Well, I saw her yesterday.
Tim:    I think she has me confused with somebody else
PM:     It's you she's thinking of
Tim:   She asked you to deliver a message?
PM:    She  told me what to say.
Tim:    And what was that?
PM:    She says she loves you
Tim:   Why do I feel this is not good news?
PM:   You know that can't be bad.
Tim:  I still can’t believe it. Are you sure it was me?
PM:   Yes, she loves you
Tim:   I’m not sure how to feel about that.
PM:    You know you should be glad.
Tim:   I’m flattered, but I don’t think I’m worthy of it.

PM:   She said you hurt her so
Tim:   I was very foolish
PM:   She almost lost her mind.
Tim:  Oh my God
PM:  But now she said she knows
Tim:   Knows what?
PM:   You're not the hurting kind.
Tim:  I think “not the marrying kind” was what I said.

PM:   She says she loves you
Tim:  I’m still not sure that is a good thing
PM:    You know that can't be bad.
Tim:  You are 100% convinced this is the case?
PM:   Yes, she loves you
Tim:   So what do I do about it now?
PM:   You know you should be glad. Ooh!
Tim:  Oops, sorry I forgot to tell you about the short in that microphone cord!
        This seems to beg the question of       "What happens next?"


PM:   You know it's up to you
 
Tim:  Do you think I should call her?
 
PM:   I think it's only fair
Tim:  It’s hard for me to admit it when I’m wrong
PM:   Pride can hurt you, too
Tim:   You really nailed that one. What do you suggest?
PM:   Apologize to her
Tim:  Remind me once again as to why I should.
PM:    Because she loves you
Tim:   That seems like a good thing.
PM:    You know you should be glad. Ooh!
Tim:   There goes that pesky cord again, I’m sorry.

Paul, it has been an honor, and I’m going to let you go now before something bad happens with that microphone cord. I don’t think I could live with the fact that I was responsible for Ringo being the last living Beatle. I cherish your advice, and I promise I will take it.

This is Tim Culey aboard the Riverboat Arkansas Queen on the scenic Arkansas river sending it back to our studio in Chenal Valley.
