It was 43 years ago today ............
 

Four guys crossed the street ...... and into legend ...........


Abbey Road 1969: 43 years after Beatles John, Paul, George and Ringo crossed Abbey Road, album cover continues to fascinate fans - NY Daily News

I have the CD used to have the Album. Great music.

One of my all time favorites. I drove Mom crazy blaring it from my record player. Oh the 'good ole days'!:pepper2:

I remember hearing about a guy who is in the background of that cover. He passed away about four years ago. He just happened to be in London on vacation and his wife went into a museum. He had had enough museums for the day and decided to wait outside. He saw this commotion going on down the street and didn't know what it was until the album came out a few months later.
I believe that he was from Florida.

The mind goes looking for meaning from mere co-incidences.
 

That was the album and album cover with the clues that "proved" Paul was dead.

Is everyone aware that there is a 24 hour web cam at Abbey Road Studios.

By the way...does everyone belong to the Beatlemaniacs of the Villages? See you at the next meeting Friday 10:00am at the O'Dell Center.

Ouch, Taltarzac. We must have posted at the same time and bumped into each other. lol Great minds and all that.

I went to the link Beatles cover conspiracy theory and it gives a dozen clues as to Paul being dead. Two items I remember which they didn't list was that Paul was barefooted and the other three weren't, and Paul had his right foot out and the others had their left foot in front.

And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make

If anyone has seen the TIME Collector Magazine released for McCartney's
70th birthday there is a photo there taken moments before they crossed the road.

John is standing there pulling up his pants, Paul (and a lady from EMI) are straightening Ringo's jacket, and George has his back turned, facing the wall, relieving himself.

The "New Paul"
 

And the guy who replaced him has had a pretty good run! :laugh:

I spent many hours listening to that album with my friends and discussing deep topics like... "Who's to say what's "normal"?

How did Paul allegedly die? Anyone remember?

Paul was decapitated in a car accident on Wednesday morning at five o'clock

We seemed to be typing at the same time with our responses about the Abbey Road conspiracy theorists.

He blew his mind out in a car.

I remember me and my friends analyzing all the details of Paul's death. Truthfully, I think Paul died when the Beatles broke up. Paul needed John to inspire him to do his best work. Like Lennon refereed to in "How do you sleep" he mentioned McCartney going from "Yesterday" to "It's Just Another Day."

I had front row seats to see Paul in concert and it was the greatest show I ever attended. Although he played Wings and his solo stuff, no body really wanted to hear "Live and Let Die". The audience was there for the good stuff. What has McCartney really done post Beatles.

I was lucky enough to see him at Yankee Stadium last summer - and it was the greatest show I've ever attended - or seen.

There wasn't a dry eye in the place when he paid tribute to George. And, of course he mentioned John. What is really nice is that as he does a song, the big screen behind the band shows clips of the Beatles as they were when they played Shea in '64.

Simply amazing to watch the people around you at one of his concerts. Teenagers who know all the words, middle aged folks screaming and jumping up and down. And then there are the older folks - and there were thousands of them - who kinda quietly mouth the words, and they have this sort of far away look on their faces - and you know exactly what they are thinking.

Even at aged 70, there is no entertainer that can touch him.....

Some people might argue that Bruce might give him a battle but Paul is unbelievable. Imagne if John were alive to be on stage with him.

You know, I bet that is exactly what a lot of the older folks were thinking (I know I was) as Paul was playing "Here Today" and then "Something".

And I'm sure Paul was thinking the same thing.

Clever title by the OP.
