Yeah, but it only plays the Sandusky Shuffle. > [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > There was a jukebox in our local (NE Ohio) neighborhood restaurant until recently, FWIW. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > I wondered if McCartney’s family had donated any items. Or perhaps advised about decor. > > Johnny Cash’s family donated several items for the childhood home in Dyess AR. His sisters worked closely to get the home restored to how they remembered it. Yes, Mike McCartney assisted with the setup of the house at 20 Forthlin Road. His photographs are featured in the guidebook to the house. Here’s an article from the Liverpool Echo that shows some of the photos of the interior. Normally, your personal items are locked up when you visit the house and photography is strictly prohibited. At the last tour I did of the McCartney house, the guide was with us 100% of the time so there would have been no opportunity for photos even if someone still had a phone or camera with them. > **[Mendips and 20 Forthlin Road - Lennon and McCartney's childhood homes](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/gallery/mendips-20-forthlin-road---7941754)** > > Mendips and 20 Forthlin Road - Lennon and McCartney's childhood homes ---

> [@aldiboronti](#): > > When Craig Ferguson left The Late Late Show I really felt that James Corden had been tossed in the deep end. How could you follow Ferguson? I was apprehensive, Corden is a likeable guy,I didn’t want to see him go under. I needn’t have worried. Soon Corden made the show his own; Carpool Karaoke was a stroke of genius and this particular episode was incredible. I haven’t a clue how Corden gets the guests he does but the kid did well! Paul was able to have some fun while promoting a new album on someone else’s dime. It was brilliant idea to set this up and it’s a lovely video. 'Even thought it’s presented as a spontaneous venture it’s pretty obvious that a great deal of time and effort went into the planning of this. At one point it looks like both of them are reading the lyrics to the new song from a display that is located below the dash to the left of Paul. I’m impressed they were able to keep the crowds low. this must have been a well kept secret. I suspect it will end up as a stand-alone tribute show to Paul and the Beatles. there has to be more footage and side notes about the exchange. My laptop speakers didn’t do it justice some I’m going to run it through the TV/stereo when I watch it again. ---

CBS has had a couple of prime-time specials showing past Carpool Karaoke events, so perhaps they’ll do one featuring more footage from this one. ---

I loved it. I’m not a Beatles fan, but I felt a little emotional about it. The thing that stood out to me was how it must feel for Paul McCartney to draw a crowd every time hie leaves his door. He even had a story about trying to put on a disguise to get away from it, without success. I’m not crying for him about it, but it must be wearing sometimes. It’s the price of fame, but still. ---

And that story of him trying to leave the house in disguise was when he was, I think, nineteen years old. So in other words, he’s been dealing with fame, both good and bad, his entire adult life. ---

McCartney is [performing](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44964710) at the Cavern Club this afternoon. Maybe this will be the big break the kid needs to jump start his career. ---

> [@Paxx](#): > > Corden is well-known in Britain so it’s strange how people react to him at the beginning of the pub scene in the video. > > First, Corden asks to go behind the bar and the bartender casually agrees. The customers in the pub can see him but nobody reacts to seeing someone famous. Nobody takes a photo and nobody asks for a selfie. In fact, nobody has a smartphone. All the customers are sitting around having a beer or a glass of wine. Nobody is looking at a smartphone or has one on the table. There are several close-up shots but nobody reacts to the professional cameras that are recording those shots. > > Then, when Paul starts playing _A Hard Day’s Night_, nobody uses a smartphone to take photos or record any video. Everyone is clapping and dancing and singing along. And there are some eye-level shots of people reacting. > > Hmmm … BTW, not true that no one had a smartphone or took photos. See [this Twitter feed](https://twitter.com/Mike__dps/status/1005531046484553728), as an example of some photos taken that day. ---

Well, hell. The show started at 7 p.m. CDT, and when I remembered to turn it on just now, it’s been preempted by a severe weather warning broadcast.
