Buddy Killen (music publisher and studio owner) : Instead of calling someone at Opryland and saying, 'I want to bring Paul McCartney and his entourage out,' I stupidly pulled up out there and bought tickets. Porter and Dolly were playing a set [during intermission]. We're walking toward the theater, and I look up and I see lips moving, forming the words 'Paul McCartney.' Then the crowd started moving in on us. Suddenly it's, 'I want your autograph.' Paul was very nice. He said 'OK,' and he'd sign them as we walked along. Now security starts moving in, and they get us to a roped-off area where Porter and Dolly are going to perform. I don't know what I was thinking. This was Paul McCartney. It just didn't dawn on me what an icon he was.
