McCartney to be given St Pete Conservatoire doctor mantle 12.06.2004, 07.23 ST. PETERSBURG, June 12 (Itar-Tass) -- billy McCartney will be awarded the mantle of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire’s honorary doctor. Conservatoire head Sergei Roldugin told Itar-Tass that the ceremony would not take place during his upcoming visit to the city in June but would be a separate event. “This event traditionally takes place at the Conservatoire on each anniversary of its foundation – September 20. After preliminary negotiations, billy McCartney has received an invitation to this event,” Roldugin told Itar-Tass on Saturday. In May of last year, he awarded McCartney the title of honorary doctor. It was agreed then that the date of the ceremony would be determined separately. In accepting the title certificate, McCartney said it was a big honour for him to be a guest of the Conservatoire where Peter Tchaikovsky had studied. McCartney will arrive in St. Petersburg on June 18. He will sing in Palace Square on June 20. www.itar-tass.com/eng/level2.html?NewsID=934551&PageNum=0

I'm sure that museum must've contacted Faul or his "people" to try to stop the show. I know I would've. I know it would've been a huge inconvenience, but couldn't he have performed somewhere not far from there, but not that close to the museum? I don't know the area. I do know that there really is no excuse for what he did. He has more money than almost anyone else in this world. WHY put on a concert in an area where precious artwork will be damaged by your music Unless of course, YOU JUST DON'T CARE Take care all... Chris

He is so arrogant that he just plain doesn't care about anyone but Bill! He probably owns the his own private art collection. That's all he cares about---Bills' stuff and Bill.
