Helter Skelter in the summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now, the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield…

I wonder... Did Paul name his band "Wings" as a tribute to Tara? (Ptera?) -j Good question! Tara Browne was the heir to the Guinness fortune, right? Well, a long while back I thought about the Beatles song "Don't Pass Me By" A line in the song goes: "I'm sorry that I doubted you, I was so unfair You were in a car crash and you lost your hair" I wonder if "hair" a cheeky way of saying "heir"? Paul did lose his heir in a car crash. Paul and Tara had a kind of bromance (Perhaps even romance? Just putting it out there) that may have been even deeper than it seemed.

“Hair = heir” exactly what ACV said… Ah, I see (after doing a search) that even just last year someone delved into that. Well... nevermind then.

Yeah, agree - good catch.
Whether or not this is a play on words (and the lads have been known to do this) or if it was discussed - sometimes with something like this a new angle might be looked at - ya never know!

"Jarv
Remember, Pepper is based on a parody of a satire of a band that never REALLY existed. There were NO Beatles. At this point, in some sort of Twilight Zone manner, the band ceased, replaced by SPLHCB. The story, hidden in plain sight, tells the tale of two bands, actually. One that has come to a funeralistic ending, and another that will carry on. At least, that was the concept.
Apollo"
This might be the most significant statement ACV communicated.
I've read the first sentence at times as Pepper is the the band that never really existed. But, mentally shifted because of 'IS BASED ON' . And 'a band that never REALLY existed' And thirdly - 'There were NO Beatles.'
Not sure he could be more in someone's face and straight shooting then this.

From youtube itself hit the "share" button, the prompt "copy link" will come up, hit that then paste the link into your reply. Then delete everything before and including the back slash and replace that with [Youtub] and delete everything after and including the question mark and replace it with [/youtub] leaving no spaces between the square brackets and the embed code. It will look something like this (I've used a forward slash here to demonstrate so it doesn't embed the video)
[Youtube]olGXtohOs7c[\youtube]
Edit: lol I've had to remove a letter from youtube to stop them disappearing

Sorry guys, been away and have a lot of catching up to do on this forum but this is brilliant:
>>> Tara Browne was the heir to the Guinness fortune, right? Well, a long while back I thought about the Beatles song "Don't Pass Me By"
A line in the song goes:
"I'm sorry that I doubted you, I was so unfair You were in a car crash and you lost your hair"
I wonder if "hair" a cheeky way of saying "heir"? Paul did lose his heir in a car crash. Paul and Tara had a kind of bromance (Perhaps even romance? Just putting it out there) that may have been even deeper than it seemed.<<<
