Now that Sir Paul has confirmed his concert in Israel (as we reported), the newspapers are jumping to tell the story. The New York Times reminisces on the concert that might have been in 1965, and notes the impressive changes that Israel has undergone in the past 43 years. Back then, there was no television (!) and a lack of familiarity with Western music. Now, with our own music exports (like Yael Naim), we’re at the forefront of world music. Oh, and the pervasiveness of English is sure to help this Beatles concert rise to the hottest tickets in town!
