Eleanor Rigby Grave

[bluemeanie]

I think this has been here before but I decided to draw in what I could see.
It looks like a cartoon Paul playing a bass left-handed.
I resisted the temptation to draw more than what I could see!




If you look closely on the first pic you can see the face I've drawn in.

Notice the date: 12 September.

[JoJo]

From the Free as a Bird video, and yes it came up before.

[mciiii]

Looks like a Lennon image to me, see the way in he's hold the guitar

[il ras]

He plays with left hand

[il ras]

Can someone highlight the date? I see the "12" but I'm no so sure of the "sept".

Yes i know, but i think is the way John holds an Gtr not Paul.

[JoJo]

Look between the "N" and the "O" of Eleanor, but closer to the "N" and look down. That's where you will find the "S".

[il ras]

I can see the Hofner

[bluemeanie]

its the way paul played bass on some yesterday video i saw, i think its the one jojo uploaded where it goes from paul to faul playing yesterday live.
but the nose does make the lil man look like john

[lili]

I can see a few faces on the highlighted version that ilras posted. Can anyone else see them, & can you try to draw them in ?
I also believe that it's Paul playing his hofner. Wouldn't it be something if it occurred "naturally"? Stranger things have happened.

[il ras]

lili, i could see other two heads too but, looking at different frames JoJo took (www.jojoplace.org/freeasbird/ ), the image of Paul remains, the others vanish.


(Just edited so it points to another URL)

[bluemeanie]

its not a perfect match but paul did play his hofner bass like that

[il ras]

at this point the famous 12 september (btw JoJo and I saw that at least there is written "12--sest" or something similar; no "p" there) is just the guitar...

PAUL 1984: "I got the name Rigby from a shop in Bristol. I was wandering round Bristol one day and saw a shop called Rigby. And I think Eleanor was from Eleanor Bron, the actress we worked with in the film 'Help!' But I just liked the name. I was looking for a name that sounded natural. Eleanor Rigby sounded natural."

"In the Church on the other side of the road from the church hall where John and Paul first met is a church graveyard. If you stand facing the graveyard, with your back to the street, and from the middle passage, read the gravestone that is three rows in and three stones to the right. The grave has the name "Eleanor Rigby" on it."

Oh yeah Sir?

[il ras]

no words

[DarkHorse]

Another made up story by Bill.

[plastic paul]

Though he also has said that perhaps it was subliminal.

[JoJo]

Bill is just careless, or maybe he couldn't "care less".

[mciiii]

Could this be Paul's dog Martha? Looking for her lost master perhaps

[il ras]

It's a clear reference to Martha

Interesting posts, thanks for the pictures.

Not that I'm into the paranormal, but I do observe some of the things I read or watch, and notice that there are times when supernatural things happen, like the possibility that the JPM image on the stone appeared, or it could be something that was rigged to look that way but used for affect.

One has to explore some of Bill's interviews and see how the stories seem rather strange as compared to other accounts from other people involved.

When did the "scrambled egg" explanation came out?

[LOVELYRITA]

Don't know if that was JPM or a Bill "Faulteration".

I'm only found these references

YESTERDAY
(Lennon/McCartney)
PAUL 1968: "I just started playing it and this tune came, 'cuz that's what happens. They just, sort of-- they COME, you know. It just came and I couldn't think of any words to it, so originally it was just, 'Scrambled Egg.' It was called 'Scrambled Egg' for a couple of months, until I thought of 'Yesterday.' And that's it. True story."


JOHN 1980: "Paul wrote the lyrics to 'Yesterday.' Although the lyrics don't reslove into any sense, they're good lines. They certainly work, you know what I mean? They're good-- but if you read the whole song, it doesn't say anything; you don't know what happened. She left and he wishes it were yesterday-- that much you get-- but it doesn't really resolve. So, mine didn't used to either. I have had so much accolade for 'Yesterday.' That's Paul's song, and Paul's baby. Well done. Beautiful-- and I never wished I'd written it."


PAUL 1984: "It fell out of bed. I had a piano by my bedside and I... must have dreamed it, because I tumbled out of bed and put my hands on the piano keys and I had a tune in my head. It was just all there, a complete thing. I couldn't believe it. It came too easy. In fact, I didn't believe I'd written it. I thought maybe I'd heard it before, it was some other tune, and I went around for weeks playing the chords of the song for people, asking them, 'Is this like something? I think I've written it.' And people would say, 'No, it's not like anything else, but it's good.'"


PAUL 1986: "The hits are always the ones you thought wouldn't be hits, like 'Yesterday' or 'Mull Of Kintyre.' I didn't want to put them out. We didn't put 'Yesterday' out in England, it was only here (America) that it was a single. We didn't think it was going to be a good idea... so it's crazy how it goes."


PAUL 1988: "We didn't think it fitted our image. In fact, it was one of our most successful songs."
