The Abbey Road album was released in 1969 following a rumor that Paul McCartney was dead, the figures were supposed to represent a funeral corsage,
John Lennon in white at the front was supposedly the preacher, Ringo Starr behind him the undertaker, next bare footed McCartney was the corse, while George Harrison bringing up the rear in dungarees was the grave digger.
The Volkswagen pulled up on the curb has the number plate 28 IF, thus McC would be 28 next birthday.. there were said to be several other allusions in the pic as well!
Metallica rocks! This band was the first band I ever listened to and I have not stopped listening. For people new to Metallica, check out their song Nothing Else Matters.
Great website.
It’s great that i’ve found this article on google , keep up the good work mate …
Paul McCartney was always my favourite Beatle. Perhaps he was always destined for a lifetime of fame, as he has probably been the most prominent Beatle of them all.
There is no doubt that the Beatles influence is iconic. Not only in Europe and North America, but globally.
