The Man Who Met McCartney: Dan Ealey Tells his UNBELIEVABLE True Story

HOW HE MET A LEGEND

In 1974, a bold Beatles fan talked his way into meeting Paul McCartney on a Tennessee farm. He ended up spending several weeks hanging out with the former Beatle's band and occasionally meeting McCartney as they rehearsed new music.

Tonight, Dan Ealey will get to see McCartney once again, this time as a guest of the band when the former Beatle plays Thompson-Boling Arena.

To Ealey, McCartney is like Beethoven. In music, both have the same stature, he said.

"When I met Paul (in 1974) I said to my friends, Who can you meet in your life that will be remembered a thousand years from now?" Ealey told WBIR on Tuesday.

"I'm certain that Paul will be one of them."
