We’re dipping into the “Because It’s Friday, That’s Why” file to end the NewsCut week on a high note. Literally.
As ugly as the world can be, there’s still beauty in the fact the very idea of driving around in a car with Paul McCartney, singing Beatles songs can still move people to tears.

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
