| Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is one of the albums where many "clues" are hidden. First of all, the eerie look of the wax figures to the left of the more mod and groovy band. Much like "Rubber Soul" their look seems to emulate that of gazing into a grave (which is filled with flowers spelling out Beatles). The funny looking yellow guitar seems to sloppily spell "Paul" The doll welcoming the Rolling Stones has a "bloody" glove next to it. There is a hand above Paul's head which symbolizes "last rights" and finally, something really creepy: If one holds a mirror-- away from them--straight across the "Lonely Hearts" on the bass drum, and holds the mirror slanted just right, the words "ONE IX HE DIE" Now either the one ix means the date (American way, Jan. fourth, British way first of April--ha! April's Fools Day!) or it means ONE OF THE FOUR. On the back of the cover, we see three of the four lads' faces. Paul is the one with his back turned! Away from the world? Away from reality? Away from life? Death? What?! George's right index finger is pointing to some suspicious lyrics perfectly! "Wednesday morning at five o' clock..." Is this when the car crash/death occurred? |

| Couldn't find any good pictures of the poster inlay from "the White Album" but if you look at that tucked away in your liner notes, you see some interesting things. Paul in a bathtub with just his head showing (obviously meaning decapitation had occurred at the accident!) A picture of Paul in disguise (or is this the mysterious Billy Shears?) One shocking photo shows Paul running away from a skeletal hand! Eeeek! Plus, the publicity photos included in the package show a strange Paul up close where it seems the top part of his lip has a scar of some sort. It's obviously this strange Billy Shears people keep singing about and they had plastic surgery done on the poor fellow to make him look like Paul! Lyrics are what you want to pay attention to on this album. Gary Patterson details the mysterious backward lyrics on "Revolution 9" the book is worth the read just for that! See how long it takes you to start playing your CD backwards. He he he he.... Also, on "Glass Onion" John messes with our heads by saying this line: Here's another clue for you all, the walrus was Paul! Ha ha! We found a real concrete clue now! And why is "Paul" singing about being a Mother Nature's Son when we all know he was born in the depths of Liverpool? Hmmm?! Finally, Ringo's song "Don't Pass Me By" discusses the car crash where Paul lost all his hair (reference to the photo where only Paul's head is showing). |
| FINALLY! Abbey Road. This was the album came out just when a bored deejay came out with the idea that Paul had been dead for some time. The obvious clue is the fact that Paul is barefoot. Like, Duh! Angels don't wear shoes! (nor do they smoke, God forbade it the same time he forbade angels to drink -- hence all the spitting --) The way the lads are dressed are indicative as well to what has been going on. John, in his pure white suit represents the preacher, Ringo in his smart and dark outfit is the undertaker and George is the grave digger what with his denim dregs. The VW Beetle behind them (another symbol for the Beatles, if I ever saw one) says "28 If" on the lisence plate. (bring out your magnifyer again folks!) Which this photo was ABOUT the time Paul was 27, but let's do some calculations on that, shall we? Yep, that's about right. The back to Abbey Road was going to be picture perfect but some oblivious-but probably groovy--chick passed just when the flash went off. Her arse will forever be known as the one on the back side of Abbey Road. Anyroad, on the wall, the "S" in Beatles has a crack running through it making it easy to recognize that the foursome aren't quite a foursome anymore. (although the break up of the Beatles could have told us this). Also, the shadows along the wall have some interesting conclusions: A skull right above and to the left of the blue bottomed lady. Whatever our conclusions really are on this day, let us not mourne the passing of Paul McCartney, I mean--dang, it happened so long ago, right? But let us listen to his silly love songs and remember the Beatle who never really was a Beatle....Me. |
