  • At the height of Beatlemania, teenaged “Adrienne from Brooklyn” professed her love for Paul McCartney in a now-viral clip. Paul finally returned the favor via social media - inviting Adrienne to see his exhibition in her hometown. NBC News’ Hallie Jackson spoke to Adrienne’s family about what the shoutout would’ve meant to their mom.

      Diet is key. Paul has been a vegetarian most of his life. Adrian, even at a young age, looked prone to being overweight. Her children aren’t exactly thin either. Genetics are very important, as are your own choices, i.e., diet.

      @@1412Bunny I don’t think so, I speak the truth- genetics and diet are important factors in having a long life. Of course, those are generalities and don’t address this person’s specific circumstances. If she died young from cancer, that is both sad and unfortunate. But you can’t tell me that having a healthy diet and a genetic predisposition towards being thin and not overweight doesn’t give a person a far greater chance of living a longer life. How many very overweight people in their 80s or 90s do you see? The answer is almost none, because those people generally die before they reach those ages. That is reality. It’s not surprising that Paul, as someone who seems predisposed toward being thin, and who has maintained a healthy diet all his life, is still alive and vibrant. It’s not a coincidence.

These girls were a million percent sincere, you know. I was a 5 year old boy in 1964 - 65 and nobody was a bigger Beatle fan than me, so I totally empathize. Cheers!

I’m 20 years old and now have younger cousins who love The Beatles as much as I do. As cheesy as it is to say, this band really did change the world.

      @@illuviium The info you were looking for is in the video! So I'm just curious, why search for info in the comments when it' is spelled out in the video.. Did you even watch it? But, nevermind. You'd rather try and teach me about timelines and age and things, I see.

    Why Didn't Adrians Family show up to meet Paul? He would have taken a photo with them I'm sure.
