There seems to be a small connection between the above lines from "A Day in the Life," and the mysterious "Billy Shears." Although purely conjecture on my part, it would seem that the "film" mentioned may have been "The Bridge Over the River Kwai." A song title from the flip side of "Walking in the Park with Eloise", by the "Country Hams", " Bridge on the River Suite". The Country Hams was a pseudonym for Sir Paul and Wings.

IMDB trivia: In some prints of this movie, star Alec Guinness's surname is written as "Guiness". (as in Tara Browne, the Guiness heir?) Has anyone checked to see if the Shears character really says, "All you need is love."?

Shirley you jest, B. www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/LitNote/The-Catcher-in-the-Rye.id-53.htmlwww.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/LitNote/The-Catcher-in-the-Rye-Character-Analyses-Holden.id-53,pageNum-73.html "Holden Caulfield, the 17-year-old narrator and protagonist of the novel, speaks to the reader directly from a mental hospital or sanitarium in southern California. The novel is a frame story (a story within a certain fictional framework) in the form of a long flashback. Holden wants to tell what happened over a two-day period the previous December, beginning on the Saturday afternoon of the traditional season-ending football game between his school, Pencey Prep, and Saxon Hall. Holden is 16 years old as the central story begins, tall at 6 feet 2 1/2 inches, partially gray-haired, and woefully skinny. He has grown 6 1/2 inches in just one year. He is out of shape because he smokes too much. His general health is poor. He is alternately depressed, confused, angry, anxious, perceptive, bigoted, resentful, thoughtful, kind, and horny. To put it simply, Holden is struggling. To Holden, Pencey and the other prep schools that he has attended represent all that is artificial ( “phony” is one of Holden’s favorite words to describe this artificiality) and all that is despicable about any institution controlled by adults. The schools are filled with lies and cruelty, ranging in degree from the relatively harmless Pencey school motto (“Since 1888 we have been molding boys into splendid, clear-thinking young men.”) to the brutally forced suicide of James Castle at Elkton Hills.... (blah blah blah blah blah) His interactions with the prostitute Sunny are comic as well as touching, partly because they are both adolescents trying to be adults. (blah blah) Holden is literally about to crash. Near the beginning as well as the end of the novel, he feels that he will disappear or fall into an abyss when he steps off a curb to cross a street. Sometimes when this happens, he calls on his dead brother, Allie, * for help. Part of Holden’s collapse is due to his inability to come to terms with death. Thoughts of Allie lying in his grave in the cemetery in the rain, surrounded by dead bodies and tombstones, haunt Holden. He wants time itself to stop. He wants beautiful moments to last forever, using as his model the displays in glass at the Museum of Natural History, in which the same people are shown doing the same things year after year. (blah blah blah) First, he wants to run off with Sally** Hayes and maybe get married. This frightens the practical, unimaginative Sally, who is more interested in social status than she is in Holden. Later, Holden decides to flee to the West where he will live as a deaf mute, ideal because he wouldn’t have to talk with people. When asked by Phoebe what he would like to be, Holden rejects standard choices such as a lawyer or a scientist. He says he would like to be “the catcher in the rye,” standing by the edge of a cliff and keeping children, playing in an adjacent field of rye, from falling off. (blah blah) The sight of Phoebe (his sister) on the a carrousel is a kind of epiphany (a clarity of insight). It is one of those moments that he would like to keep forever. On the carrousel, there is movement, but the carrousel never actually goes anywhere: just round and round with Phoebe in her blue coat.... "* Call Me Al www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOiVaE-pKqM** Sally G www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvEicV_XctUMDC may have been on to something, having read the book. Dear Mr. Fantasy, Paul may have used the Cliff Notes.

Catcher in the Rye is a really good book. What's the deal with all the blah blahs, B?

The blahs were commentary by the cliff notes author. I just didn't want to print them all. For some reason that link only comes up in a Google search for "Holden Caulfield suicide". That's where you can read the whole thing if you want to.

I can recommend 'micro-dots'....from back in my Uni' days....but alas didn't bother to peruse the cover of Pepper, someone did put the White Album on at one time though. Obviously not for everybody though....the dots i mean, not the White Album. Still....certainly made some of the Accountancy & Finance lectures more interesting and bearable.

The only glasses worn by any guest on Pepper are Terry Southern's sunglasses; no guests are wearing corrective lenses. (Only Lennon is wearing glasses) All spectators on Pepper can see without spectacles. ;D -j

Things have just gotten a little more confusing for future generations, I'm sure the Fakers are hard at work already! A new image manipulation technique called Seam Carving (google) has just been unleashed on the public, although I'd say "certain agencies" have had it for a while. Notice that young Ringo is missing!! This particular image isn't a good example for the purposes of demonstration, it's so packed with detail, making any slight alteration apparent , but it's not bad. Notice the slight distortion around his neighbours. It can only get better too - or worse depending on how it's used. This took about 5 seconds to do!

Madam Tussaud's London 1967 In 1967 Haynes designed and installed the “Swinging London” Exhibition at Madam Tussaud's, London. His Swinging Personalities were depicted by life size cut out photographs, which included artist Peter Blake. Sir Peter liked the idea so much that he developed the concept for the Beatles record cover, “Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Other exhibitions designed by Haynes in the sixties included photographs by Norman Parkingson, David Bailey and the American photographer and film director, Bill Klein. Cut-out images of swinging sixties stars including The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jean Shrimpton, PJ Proby, Mary Quant, David Hockney, Peter Blake, Gerald Scarfe, The Who The Kinks, Twiggy, Bruce Lacey, Paul Jones michaelhaynes.401studios.org/home.php?page=event&event_id=5

Try all of the above.
Everyone on Sgt. Pepper was a freemason apart of the illuminati.
