Here's something interesting.. On the cover of Abbey Road, I'm sure you all know about "28 IF" on the Volkswagen Beatle.
Who was 28 at the time of the photographing? John Lennon, but Paul was the one dressed as the dead man. And let's not forget, John Lennon was heavily involved in satanism, yet there's another side of him where he's all nice? Weird..
Gratitude.

I beg to differ that "John Lennon was heavily involved in satanism." I believe this is a more accurate assessment of John Lennon: "25. MATTHEW: Now and then a soul is recognized for the spiritual value he or she has given to the world, and John Lennon is one such. His lyrics and music reflected his light, which viewed from higher stations was a brilliant sun whose rays streamed around the globe, touching people who hadn’t ever heard of him—that is how powerfully his energy of peace and love impacted Earth. No, I’m not equating him with the master messengers whose teachings became the basis—the intentionally distorted basis—for religions; I am saying that when that rare intensity of love energy, which can come only from a very highly evolved soul, is incarnate, the effects are that impacting and memorable." From www.matthewbooks.com/mm/anmviewer.asp?a=48&z=2

No, he wasn't, to the best of my knowledge. Feel free to post evidence to the contrary, if you have any, but please don't make this charge without some backing evidence for your statement. I know I started a thread called "Lennon as Satan" which I haven't properly developed, so I don't mean to be a hypocrite, but I haven't seen much evidence to suggest that John was knowingly and actively involved in satanism. Crowley is not satan, despite what you may have heard.

Lewis Carroll. And your point is? Will Shortz is a satanist then?

How is that "proof" that John was a Satanist? I find these attempts to paint the Beatles as somehow "evil" to be not only off-base, but a little disturbing.

So, I suppose they had Aliester Crowley in the images strictly for backmasking?
You obviously can't like something without looking into it more.
Which goes back to my theory. There are two John Lennon's. The "normal" one which was the down to earth stand in. Then the bizarre one, who always dressed in black.

They could have made references to Aleister Crowley for any number of reasons, but it doesn't ipso facto prove they were "Satanists."
It's possible John was replaced, or had a double, at least.

Imagine if you were John Lennon. You had a rough life. Your mother died when you were young. Then when everything started going your way, your best friend in your band died.
Now, would you let your life get ruined? Or would you go completely against God in anger and pull off the Beatles by learning how to be Paul while getting a look alike for yourelf.

I wouldn't "go completely against God," & I don't think he did, either. Did someone "evil" write this song? I think not. It's a beautiful song about a beautiful world - one I'd much prefer to this one!
Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today...
Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one.

Hey, remember the Santa Claus with Tim Allen? It was a great movie.. Maybe you guys know what happened in that movie. Sometimes an "Amazonian" review is helpful" at: www.amazon.com/Santa-Clause-Escape/dp/B000OLGCIEwe have: 66 of 73 people found the following review helpful: Claus vs. Frost: Who's Coming to Town This Year?, November 3, 2006 By Chris Pandolfi (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews Film trilogies are funny things; most of the time, each additional chapter is made to be better than its predecessor, introducing new characters, events, and locations to keep the basic storyline fresh and entertaining. I'm not sure if I can say the same for the "Santa Clause" films; in watching the original film and its two sequels, I never felt that the new outdid the old. Rather, I felt as if the new represented a natural progression that didn't overshadow or upstage the old. I liked this because it resulted in films that were unique while remaining true to the underlying idea at the same time. It also resulted in undeniably charming films that reiterated well-established yet important family oriented messages. "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause" is not the most original Christmas film ever made, but for the final chapter of a trilogy, it's delightful just the same.
The people behind all three films have done a wonderful job of creating the world of Santa Claus, a world that's surprisingly regimented behind a facade of bright, colorful merrymaking. Some very stern rules have been introduced over the course of the trilogy, ones that were clearly outlined in the North Pole's contractual clauses. In 1994, we learned of the first clause, which stated that anyone who puts on Santa's red coat must assume the role. This is exactly what happened to Scott Calvin (Tim Allen); he accidentally kills Santa by startling him off of the roof, after which Calvin's son, Charlie (Eric Lloyd), convinces him to wear the coat. He's then transformed from a workaholic father to Old Saint Nick. In 2002, we learned of the second clause, which stated that Santa had to get married if he wanted his magical abilities to remain. He ultimately falls in love with and weds Charlie's high school principal, Carol (Elizabeth Mitchell).
In the tradition of the first two films, "The Escape Clause" introduces a new contractual clause that becomes the main focus of the plot. Apparently, there's a way for the current Santa to release himself from the responsibilities of delivering Christmas to the world: it's called the Escape Clause, which can only be carried out by holding a special snow globe and saying something to the effect of, "I wish I had never become Santa." Hoping to take control of the North Pole and Christmas, Jack Frost (Martin Short)--the mythological bringer of winter--tricks Calvin into doing this. Here's a character that's both literally and figuratively cold-hearted. He's tired of being an unrecognized holiday figure; he wants the kind of admiration and respect that Santa gets. He's especially attracted to the idea of being commercially immortalized with TV specials, stamps, soda bottles, and postcards.
So he devises a plan, one that involves subtle manipulation and carefully orchestrated actions. He wanders around the main factory, casually destroying vital pieces of equipment. It's all an attempt to make Calvin look bad, not just in the eyes of his wife (who's about ready to give birth to their first child), but in the eyes of his family, as well, all of who are visiting. It doesn't help that the new head elf, Curtis (Spencer Breslin), is putting extra strain on Calvin, in turn making quality time with his wife harder to find. Adding insult to injury, Calvin took great pains to bring Carol's parents--Sylvia (Ann-Margret) and Bud Newman (Alan Arkin)--up to the North Pole (unconvincingly disguised as Canada for the occasion). Every foul up puts a wedge between the family members, and it's enough to make Calvin reconsider the life he's chosen for himself and his wife.
What he doesn't realize is that this is exactly what Frost was hoping would happen. And by the time Calvin utters his wish, it's too late; the Escape Clause has taken effect. Both he and Frost are sent back to 1994, specifically to the moment when the previous Santa falls off of Calvin's roof. Frost quickly dons the red coat, and a change in the timeline is set into motion. Returning to 2006, Calvin quickly realizes that he's remained the emotionally distant workaholic he started out as; his relationship with Laura (Wendy Crewson) is worse than ever, and when it comes to his son, it's most likely beyond repair. Neil (Judge Reinhold) is resentful for having to pick up the pieces and for his eventual divorce with Laura. Carol is completely out of the picture, having supposedly moved away to "terrify a new group of kids." etc. The ESCAPE Clause? Really? .....it's called the Escape Clause, which can only be carried out by holding a special snow globe and saying something to the effect of, "I wish I had never become Santa."(It was either Tony Orlando or Cher, who would you have chosen?) There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like Nome.....oops...... And I thought our William must be as contractually "frozen" as a package of Bird's-Eye asparagus in Alaska! Is it time for the big thaw? Or just a switch to the fridge? Start rubbin', all ye who would rubbers be. I say the big thaw is a century out, but, with so little time left on the Mayan Calendar, we may get a break.

Remember he had gotten his "orders" from the Beatles White Album.
