McCartney Helps the Homeless: Paul McCartney’s concert to help the Bay Area homeless is doing that already for at least one homeless man--weeks before the March 31 performance at UC Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium. Janise Jordan, assistant manager of a local Wherehouse store, said about 20 people were lined up Saturday hoping to buy tickets, which went on sale Sunday. One of those in line, she said, was a homeless man who was paid $40 to save a space in line for someone else wanting to snare tickets, priced at $30 each. The city of Berkeley has been promised at least $100,000 of the proceeds to help the local homeless. The university is expected to receive a like amount.
