How could we not keep track of Paul McCartney!  The Beatles with Paul McCartney and John Lennon, being one of the most successful recording duos ever, always causes us to stop and take notice.

Former Beatle Paul McCartney and American heiress Nancy Shevell tied the knot Sunday, October 9, 2011, in London.

We will all hope this will be a marriage of bliss.  Paul has searched for another life long love ever since his loss of wife Linda,  a co-performer in Paul’s band of the 80′s, Paul McCartney and Wings.

Did you ever wonder why Bono, lead singer for U2, always wears sunglasses?   As he explained,  “it’s part vanity, part privacy, and part sensitivity.”

Bono’s right eye will swell up as his eyes are very sensitive to light.  If he has a photograph taken,  he will see the flash for the rest of the day.  Therefore,  wearing the sunglasses are more of a necessity than a personal choice.

As Bono explains though, he knows that wearing the sunglasses, which he started in 1992, is a part of his iconic characterization.
