It’s really the simple things in life: the crisp chill of the autumn air, the spirited laugh of a newborn, watching Paul McCartney scramble (unsuccessfully) to grab a free T-shirt at an NBA game.
On Tuesday, McCartney (a certified gazillionaire and most likely the owner of many, many fine articles of clothing) attended a Brooklyn Nets game, where he attempted a slam-dunk of savings: When Nets party-starters launched some T-shirts into the crowd, Macca took a deep breath, focused on his target, and…entered the Youtube history books.
With the shirt in his gaze, his eyes sparkled.
He shimmied; he bumbled; he awkwardly flailed, trying desperately to get that T-shirt into his life. But (thankfully, for our viral viewing pleasure) some undeserving douche nabbed it away at the last minute.
As a wiser man once said, happiness is a warm T-shirt — but for McCartney, Tuesday turned out to be one hard day’s night.
(My previous working headline for this story was “You’re Going to Lose That Shirt: Paul McCartney…” What’s yours?)
