Sgt. Pepper: polemic art, neon drugs.
(Did you spot that? It's very clever. If you missed it look again and pay attention this time!)

It seems that the people on Sgt Pepper come in pairs. (Maybe the "objects" too - I haven't gotten that far yet.) Many of these pairings are obvious, others are more subtle. Here is what I have been able to match up so far. (2) Wax hairdressers dummy (#34 & #36) (2) Petty Girl (#38 & #55) The Beatles The Beatles Bob Dylan Dylan Thomas Max Miller Marilyn Monroe H.G. Wells H.C. Westermann Wallace Berman William Burroughs Gorcey (painted out) Gandhi (painted out) Albert Einstein (Einstein = One Stein, Mug, Cup) Albert Stubbins (Played in only one F.A. Challenge Cup) Stan Laurel Oliver Hardy (too obvious?) Dion di Mucci Diana d'Ors Fred Astaire Aleister Crowley KarlHEINZ Stockhausen HUNTZ Hall The HEINZ/HUNTZ connection might be a stretch, but those have been the leading brands of ketchup for decades in the U.S., (and consider those "Ketchup/Catch Up" lyrics in Monkberry Moon Delight.) I will post more pairs as I find them, assuming there are more pairs to find. The obvious pairs seem to suggest that we should be looking for the not-so-obvious pairs. (Interestingly, there are 81 numbered persons/objects in the index, which would leave an odd pairing.) -j two sports figures (Liston and Stubbins) two psychologists (Freud, who is partially hidden, and Jung) two child actors (Temple and Breen), nearly two Bowery Boys/East Side Kids (Gorcey, who was removed, and Hall) possibly two Crowleys (the Young Crowley that looked like Paul was removed) two people with directional names (Southern and West) a “wild one” (Brando) and “one from the wild” (Johnny Weissmuller) two members of The Fabian Society (Wells and Shaw) two stars of "Some Like It Hot" (Curtis and Monroe) a legionnaire from the RAOB and T. E. Lawrence encountered a wild BOAR in the middle east. (I'm really sorry for that one) Lewis Carroll and a statue of Alice two blue entertainers (Lenny Bruce and Max Miller) two Karls (Stockhausen and Marx) Tom Mix owned a house in the Laurel Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills and Tony Curtis portrayed Harry Houdini who owned a house in the Laurel Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills Lenny Bruce mentioned Bobby Breen in one of his comedy routines about Hitler Both Oscar Wilde and Carl Jung wrote about and had a fixation with the Biblical character Salome Poe wrote "The Raven." Lewis Carroll wrote an unsolved riddle that asked, ""Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" Edgar Allan Poe wrote the Raven, Oscar Wilde wrote Ravenna. George Bernard Shaw and Albert Einstein www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocSgz_AeSNEJohnny Weissmuller starred in movies based on books by Edgar Rice Burroughs (The Pepper sleeve includes EDGAR Allan Poe and William BURROUGHS) Marlon Brando starred in "Candy" based on a Terry Southern novel Richard Lindner - In 1941 he went to the United States and worked in New York City as an illustrator of books and magazines and made contact with German emigrants Albert Einstein and Marlene Dietrich |

Jarv and Taf, thanks for your efforts, "pairings" may be a common theme. What comes in pairs? Twins, best friends, a married couple, or perhaps a couple of Pauls.. although there were two of each Beatle on the cover of course.. May have a template here, perhaps look into the similarities each member of the pair has to each other other than the surface stuff?

According to Pete Best's book, The Beatles: The True Beginnings, the object on the cover of Sgt. Pepper that people have identified as Paul's rugby trophy is really a Cash Box International Award that was given to Mona Best as a thank-you gift by John (or Fohn) Lennon.

No, but that sounds interesting! I looked for ahemTORRENTS!ahem, but had trouble finding anything. Re: The Beachles - Sgt Petsounds Clayton was served with a cease and desist order from Capitol Records' lawyers. Whereas creating a new work from two other pieces of work should be considered art, the label considered it copyright infringement. At the time I suspected that the mashing up of different artists’ mastertapes from within a label's vaults may well be a future option for music conglomerates. That hasn't happened yet - instead we did get the Love album and everything remastered. That's kind of the same process, only far more conservatively done. Perhaps there will be a time when labels actively repackage their properties in such a manner… Cheers, and thanks for visiting my blog. |

 MONROE pronounced mun-ROH. It is of Scottish and Gaelic origin, and the meaning of Monroe is "mouth of the river Rotha, in Ireland". Originated as a surname for those who lived near the river's mouth.
Norma Jean Baker nor-ma\ is pronounced NOR-mah. It is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Norma is "the standard or norm". Jean pronounced jeen. It is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Jean is "God's grace". Baker Baker is an occupational surname which originated in medieval times from the name of the trade, baker. From the Middle English bakere and Old English bæcere, a derivation of bacan, meaning "to dry by heat." The bearer of this name may not only have been a baker of bread. The name was also used for other involved with baking in some way, including the owner of a communal oven in humbler communities. The Asphalt Jungle

Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you fall. Crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They said "you are the treadmill" And they made you change your name |

A Billy button. Now that takes it! Wiki: A macaroni (or formerly maccaroni)[1] in mid-18th century England, was a fashionable fellow who dressed and even spoke in an outlandishly affected and epicene manner. The term pejoratively referred to a man who "exceeded the ordinary bounds of fashion"[2] in terms of clothes, fastidious eating and gambling. Like a practitioner of macaronic verse, which mixed together English and Latin to comic effect, he mixed Continental affectations with his English nature, laying himself open to satire: There is indeed a kind of animal, neither male nor female, a thing of the neuter gender, lately [1770] started up among us. It is called a macaroni. It talks without meaning, it smiles without pleasantry, it eats without appetite, it rides without exercise, it wenches without passion.[3] I guess a Billy button could double as a 'queen' if needed. Lady Gargoyle's got nuthin on this guy!  |

"Temple Dolly: the most sacred monster from Alexandria to Soho." monster? "Most Sacred Monster" is from the title of the Dali painting; I was sure you already knew that. It's from the Latin monstrum: a strangely formed omen or sign. A white lion with wings is for St. Mark, and a Red Lion with wings is for Marx. The Mark of Marx  A cover version:  -j |
