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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
