| Paul Out of Step With the Others |
Here is a number for you to play today 269. Why? Because it was on today in 1969 that the Beatles released Abbey Road – 9/26/69.
Even though their Sgt. Pepper album gets all the recognition as the Beatles’ best album, Abbey Road remains my favorite mostly because that entire second side is so great (sample below)
On the down side though, it was Abbey Road that generated all the Paul is Dead crap (click here.) Wish I had back all the time I spent on discussing, reading, thinking about that b.s. (like now right?)
Another reason I prefer Abbey Road is that I too have been photographed crossing that same spot in London. Notice that I was leading with my left foot. Maybe I was dead and didn’t know it.
(I will have some photo’s and things from Bart’s Party later today or tomorrow.)
Also, on Abbey Road is another song that is in my top 5 favorite Beatles’ tunes – She’s So Heavy. Only 14 words sung, very repetitive and plodding, usually this is the type of song I don’t care for. (I like words and uptempo and rock n roll.) However, this one gets it done for me and I don’t quite know why except for maybe because of the way they do that you-u-u-u-u thing with their voice and the guitar. All those photos of George and Patti – she was a honey wasn’t she?
