Joe DeraWhy Mr. McCartney did not attend the Rock ’n Roll Hall of Fame dinnerNew York: Rogers &amp; Cowan, Inc.: 1988. Xerox. 11 x 8 1/2 in. Bumped; with light discoloration.Moments before the third annual Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame induction dinner was set to begin, a representative for Paul McCartney circulated a memo stating that the Beatle would not be joining former bandmates George Harrison and Ringo Starr at the ceremony. The stated reason was "business problems" with the band's surviving members and their one-time record company, Apple.McCartney's written statement is a masterclass in petty drama: "I was keen to go to [the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame ceremony] and pick up my award, but after twenty years the Beatles still have some business differences which I had hoped would have been settled by now. Unfortunately, they haven’t been, so I would feel like a complete hypocrite waving and smiling with them [George Harrison and Ringo Starr] at a fake reunion.”Many were excitedly anticipating the Beatles' first public appearance together in more than 20 years, including fellow inductee Mike Love of the Beach Boys, who jabbed McCartney and his absence during his acceptance speech.Condition as described in catalogue note.
