I guess being related to a former Beatle has some perks, like getting Paul McCartney to play whatever business function you need them to. McCartney's wife Nancy Shevell -- they got married back in 2011 -- is an executive at the New Jersey-based New England Motor Freight, which her family owns, and she brought her husband along to perform to a crowd of around 1,000 for a customer appreciation dinner. According to Transport Topics, the singer played at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia for over two hours, and reportedly incorporated a bunch of truck jokes into his set, including changing the words of "Drive My Car" to "Drive My Truck." Funny!
