Dear Mr. McCartney,
Some of your greatest fans at
www.fan-sites.org/the-beatles (Let it Beatle) have decided to send you a letter!
Most of us are from different countries around the world.
First letter, is from Sarah.
Dear Paul,
Hello! How's your day been? I bet it's great! Anyway, I would just like to say...I think you're fantastic, I've been a fan since before I can remember, which is decent considering I'm turning 16 this july! I hope you're having a lovely time.
Anyway... as you may have already guessed, us loyal Paul McCartney fans watched the Super Bowl this year, when you performed at the half time show.
And I might say, that it was absolutely magnificent. But, it had come to our attention that it was not what the rest of America had expected, seeing as the last Super Bowl half time show was extremely controversial.
We knew that it wasn't going to be the same this year. But, other's didn't seem to think you're performance was up to their expectations.
(We didn't care) Anyway, we found an article, that a horrible woman had written about your show at the halftime superbowl.
It went something like this:

Paul McCartney's safe halftime show offended no one, but bored many
His performance appeared to be aimed at pleasing FCC, not the TV audience.
By Mekeisha Madden / The Detroit News
Rock legend Paul McCartney proved that safe isn't always a good thing.
No, McCartney didn't flash a mammary gland, a la Janet Jackson, but more jaded viewers might have preferred that than the boredom they endured. The Super Bowl halftime show should be something viewers anticipate, not an opportunity to finally check the batteries in their home's smoke detectors.
By the time McCartney, 62, sang "Hey Jude," even the young people who were presumably paid to cheer and clap in the front row seemed to suddenly go off the clock.
Not even McCartney's stiff-armed wave could pump life into this performance.
The Fox network and NFL officials wanted a squeaky clean halftime show and they got it in spades. The most controversial part of the one-time Beatle's show was McCartney's cross-shaped stage. Maybe that could offend non-Christians or something?
-------------------------------
The members of the Let It Beatle message board where offended, but we came to your side like a Mafia haha.
We wrote a joint letter to her, proclaiming that just because the music you played is not the stereotypical type of music that teenagers listen to today doesn't mean that they don't enjoy it, and the show itself.
We showed her that, as a matter of fact, there are a whole bunch of teenagers that DO listen to The Beatles, Wings ect.
We sent the letter eventually, but had no response. I guess we ridiculed her so badly she felt she couldn't possibly reply without looking like a complete idiot.
Anyway, I just wanted show you what we can do, if you ever need us!
Much love
Sarah, 16, Australia.
