It was 50 years ago today
 

On this day 50 years ago at 11:35 am 4 brilliant musicians walked across the zebra crossing outside of Addy Road studios.
The photo would become the famous cover of the band's incredible career. The album contains the final recordings of the Beatles as a group.

This album cover is just as much pure art as any of the classics
John Paul Ringo and George walked away from the Beatles,
And now as men, each went on their own paths

August 8, 1969

Attachment 48367

An acquaintance (a younger woman not of our generation with whom I was socializing), once asked me what was my favorite Beatles' song. I'm sure I looked bewildered when I replied that I would have trouble naming my six favorite Beatles' albums. Those lads were and still are the greatest.

The second side of the album is a masterpiece.

On a funny side note Bill if you look past George heading down the street you'll see a VW parked up on the curb. It's the long lost 5th Beetle - lol.

The End
 

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

A masterpiece indeed. Case closed.

I enjoyed the movie "Yesterday" a Beatles fantasy that was entertaining.
While in the service "Rubber Soul" was on my headphones frequently.

Post of the month! LOL! :D

Beetle
 

Two of the famous clues in during the "Paul is dead" rumors
1. Paul is barefoot
2. The VW beetle license plate says IF 28
Paul would have been 28 had he lived

I remember that Bill. Another clue was playing one of the songs endings backwards and hearing “Paul is dead” above the static. One of my favorite conspiracy theories of all time.

The Beatles continue to be the soundtrack of my life. Abbey Road is a masterpiece however the medley on side 2 is a result of the total dysfunction going on in the band at that time as Paul was the only one driving the project as the other band members were in the process of walking away. He combined several unfinished songs into what became one of their most iconic pieces.
Visiting London and going on a Beatles tour is still on my bucket list. Hope it won't be too much longer before I experience it in person.

The Beatles Channel on Sirius/XM is a Godsend!
Non-stop Beatle music to drive by. :D

That's well said, Neil. Mine too.

I vividly remember one afternoon in late August 1968 when I moved into a dormitory in Tuscaloosa as a college freshman. The dormitory buildings were arranged in an oval with a big grass courtyard in the middle. The buildings weren't air-conditioned so all the windows were open. I was walking in the courtyard and songs from the White Album were blasting from every other window.

There were two classifications of music groups then. There were the Beatles and everyone else.

Bill I have that 2x3 foot huge picture of the Beatles hanging in my house...my fav group of all time....do you know what day you will be arriving yet????? randy

Hey Bill I've got that picture hanging in my house....love the Beatles...what day you going to get to Albany????/ Randy

I remember that well Bill. Weren't the bare feet symbolic from an Italian funeral or something?

Hey Bill V. I just figured out how our 2 pic 3's paid different. I had both horses that dead heated in the 9th race on my ticket and that gave me an extra 16 dollars. It paid you $29 and paid me $45

Hey Bill V Paul is alive and well....My son Bruce went to New York last year to visit a friend of his and they went to Madison SQ Garden for a pro basketball game and Paul was there sitting a few rows away from them...I asked him whey he didn't get me an autograph and he said there was too much security around him...

Live show
 

Hey Randy

If you ever get to see Pauls live show it is amazing.
He plays mostly Beatles songs these days.
He even jokes how everybody records them with their cell phones
but not so much when he plays something off his new album ;)
