50 Years Ago: Wings Conquered Wembley, Capping a Flawless Tour

On October 19, 1976, Paul McCartney and Wings concluded their 'Wings Over the World' tour with a triumphant three-night stand at London's Empire Pool. After a rocky start in 1972, the band had evolved into a polished arena act by 1976, delivering a two-hour performance that blended new hits with a rare set of Beatles classics. The show marked the peak of the group's career before internal conflicts and commercial flops led to their dissolution by 1981.

Brain remaps wings as body parts after a week of VR flight

Brain remaps wings as body parts after a week of VR flight

Twenty-five volunteers trained for a week in feathered VR wings and, after the training, fMRI showed the right occipitotemporal cortex began treating wing images more like limb images. The effect was partial and linked to active control rather than mere exposure, suggesting the body-part representation can flex to include novel, functional extensions—though this does not mean a new body part was created. Replication and broader studies are needed; implications exist for prosthetics and brain–computer interfaces.

Paul McCartney Dials Nostalgia Up on The Boys of Dungeon Lane

Paul McCartney returns with The Boys of Dungeon Lane, a 14-track album arriving May 29, that blends affectionate reminiscences of his Liverpool boyhood and present-day happiness with a brisk, Wings-era rock sound. Co-produced by Andrew Watt, the set shifts between gentle memory songs and energetic rock, includes bold twists like a ballroom-swing overlay on Salesman Saint, and features a first-ever duet with Ringo Starr on Home to Us. It’s playful, deeply observant, and arguably McCartney’s strongest work of the 21st century, proving age hasn’t dimmed his knack for catchy, emotionally direct songwriting.

Paul McCartney Finds Timeless Warmth on The Boys of Dungeon Lane

Rolling Stone hails Paul McCartney’s The Boys of Dungeon Lane as a warmly nostalgic solo album—his first in six years—where he mostly plays all the instruments and crafts an autumnal, life-affirming mood. The songs look back on his Liverpool days and enduring love of making music, from intimate ballads to lively rock, with two Parenthood-themed closing tracks; co-produced by Andrew Watt, the set demonstrates a late‑career vitality that still feels fresh and personal.

Morgan Neville’s Man on the Run reexamines Wings as Paul McCartney’s audacious post‑Beatles project, detailing his partnership with Linda, the controversial inclusion of his wife in the band, and his stubborn push away from Beatles nostalgia toward a democratic, sometimes chaotic 1970s era that produced Ram and Band on the Run—told with intimate archival moments that cast Wings in a newer light.

"Robot Dinosaur Study Sheds Light on Evolution of Wings and Plumage"

Scientists used a robotic dinosaur to study the evolution of wings and proposed that small feathered dinosaurs might have flapped early wings to flush out insect prey, providing an explanation for why wings evolved before flight. The research, published in the journal Scientific Reports, adds to the puzzle of why wings developed in the age of dinosaurs and suggests that wing displays may have served multiple purposes, including hunting and frightening hiding prey.
