Say goodbye to Paul McCartney and quit hounding the folks at the Rose- By John von Rhein Music critic Music notes rare Chicago appearance by performance artist Laurie Anderson and the return of the Kronos Quartet will highlight the 1990 New Laurie Anderson: making a rare Chicago appearance. took exception to some of the conciliatory comments that McCartney made last week at a Los Angeles news conference; Paul had hinted at a joining of the remaining mop-tops to work on some new material. Harrison, through a statement released by his manager two days later, quashed any hope for a friendly musical get-together any time soon. "There will be no Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead," the statement read. At Monday's news conference, McCartney said he "hadn't heard" what Harrison had to say and once told, did a little backpedaling on the issue.

"I'm not actually talking about a reunion," he said. "But we've got this film on the boil, called 'The Long and Winding which is actually Beatles footage. I was thinking maybe we could put together some of our home movie footage and we could narrate it and put some incidental music on it which would be, quote, new Beatles music. "I'm not really looking for a reunion because the Beatles were four guys and John was very much a part of that. So I'm not really looking for any kind of reunion, but there is a couple of projects that we might get together on.

It would not be a reunion but a coming together again of friends." A series spokesman said that discussions are underway to bring the WOMAD Festival of World Music to Chicago for the first time as the fourth and final concert of the New Music Series. Tickets for all series events are available at Ticket Master outlets or by calling 559-1212.

McCartneymania seemed to be a chance for the parents of Blockheads, the kids who swarmed the New Kids on the Block last week, to do a little gawking of their own. From early afternoon until long after each of the three shows McCartney played at the Horizon, middle-aged autograph hounds waited expectantly for a chance to meet their idol.

But security was tighter than at the White House, and McCartney was taking no calls. Even those who gathered for a glimpse before his news conference at the Horizon Monday afternoon were disappointed. Paul, Linda and their entourage used an underground tunnel from backstage to walk to the administration building across the street. But if you didn't get inside, don't worry, you didn't miss much. The 25-minute show spawned little news, except that talk of a quasi-Beatle reunion (the remaining three plus Julian Len-non) was a bit premature.
