Not only that - where did that video with the scrungy hippie (sorry, don't mean to offend any hippies out there ;D) talking with John come from? Has that been available before? Easy answer on that one, yes.. From the "Imagine" movie

Thanks ICU, enjoyed the joke. Had the same impression right away, that it was a somewhat (maybe 5 or so years from 1966) older Paul.

Hah, I'm not sure what that would look like. Closest thing I have is this guy: I get what you're saying about staking your claim.. I think at times (not always) NIR is the provider of the raw material that IAAP shapes and forms.. For good or bad is up to the observer of course. Thanks Talalay for your kind words. Gotta find that video! Thought I had unearthed everything of note at this point, but saying he's a good replica, wow. Of course need to see in context, and Sir Paul tends to sometimes say odd things when speaking off the cuff. Chances are, someone either smuggled this out of the TV studio, or a very early adopter of video recording technology recorded this on his Betamax.

P(D)enny, IAAP has, in my observation, "borrowed" ideas from NIR on occasion.. as well as videos I've put up, but.. for me it's OK more or less. Always had the POV that anyone can utilize whatever they want of my stuff if they do something interesting with it. Understood if you feel differently, although I suspect it's like LB Puzzled said.. Would have been nice to have a "with gratitude to P(D)enny or something. Haven't seen that video before, must have been from the early to mid 70's though. Sun, (or Ian) always leave with no warning don't ya? Come back anytime you like.

Jeez, all that cutting 'n pasting, so much work, oh no! ;D No problem. It actually was annoying me too, thanks for mentioning it so I got off my lazy a** and fixed it.

I'll probably never see it.. Don't drink the global warming Kool-Aid, sorry.
Now the old one.. a different story! Klaatu scolded us for killing each other with Nuclear bombs, an actual threat to our well being. (and still is) They only felt compelled to warn us to stop what we were doing because we were on the edge of exporting this killing to their territory of the rest of the universe.. Sorry, no way Jose.

AHHH! CAUGHT ME YA BUGGERS! DIG THE DEATH LOOK FOR THE WHORE OF BABYLON! Yeah well.. Geoff Baker would have that look. OK, so Sir Paul claimed Mr. Baker's firing had nothing to do with Heather, but why should Baker feel any differently than the rest of the world?

From a blog comment on Classic Rock Archives:
I AM A LICENSED FUNERAL DIRECTOR WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE AT THE FERNCLIFF CREMATORY WHEN JOHN LENNON'S BODY WAS BROUGHT IN FOR CREMATION. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CREMAINS? THEY WERE TO BE RETURNED TO THE FRANK E. CAMPELL FUNERAL HOME TO BE GIVEN TO YOKO. GREAT JOB ON STERN! PAT GRAY
I asked about that Yoko interview, and with him, there were another three comments.. not exactly an astoundingly strong interest.. And yet the guy who happened to be there when the body came in just happens to weigh in? It's odd and out of place IMO.
I heard that Yoko once appeared on a BBC show hosted by Graham Norton, which ended when Yoko suddenly made a hasty exit when asked why she didn't bring "John" along with her, as after all it was just an urn. (with the premise that she had done so before in her travels) Trying to find a clip if anyone knows of it.

Could you post a link to this rare Beatles photo blog?
Funny, almost looks like a cross between Paul and Ringo.

I'll never forget the day.. Interesting bit on Howard Stern today, a guy named Denny Somach brought up the fact that no one knows where Lennon is buried. He sent out a plea to anyone who knows of a book with this info or just simply knows to call in. Listen in if you like: www.jojoplace.org/HS_Len_12_08.mp3Typical satellite radio version of Howard, be warned.. A rough transcript from a fan site: www.marksfriggin.com/news.htm#monHoward said Denny was calling in to talk about where John Lennon is buried because no one really seemed to know. Denny said that when you ask you'll get 3 different answers like Strawberry Fields, Liverpool or that he was cremated. Denny said there is no definitive answer to that. Denny said that people will give different answers all the time. He said there's a guy who has a book out called ''Where Are They Buried? How Did They Die? Fitting Ends and Final Resting Places of the Famous, Infamous, and Noteworthy'' and he claims that he was cremated and Yoko spread his ashes around. She once said that he was buried in an interview though and she may have let that slip accidentally. That's why all of this came up.
Denny said he found out about another book that was out where the author wrote about John and even that guy didn't know. Denny said that the guy's book ends on the day Lennon was shot so he didn't follow through on that stuff. There was another book called ''Lennon Revealed'' and that guy didn't know about it either. Then that guy went out and asked Yoko about where he's buried and he wasn't able to find anything.
Denny said that he can't find a definitive answer to the question. Howard asked Denny about a story he heard where Denny and Scott Muni went up to visit Yoko and saw a large box in her apartment that Muni thought might contain the mummified body of John Lennon. Denny said that was his theory back then.
Denny said that he just can't nail down the story so this is another one of those cold cases out there. He said he's hoping that the audience is going to call in with some information and maybe offer a reward for the true answer. Denny said that even May Pang doesn't know where he's buried.
Howard said you can find out more about Denny, this Lennon story and more, at www.ClassicRockArchives.com. He let him go a short time later. Howard said he had to take another quick break there before bringing in William Shatner. They went to break a short time later.

If it was "Lundi Gras" you'd be half right. Of course maybe eyeseeyou means Mardi Gras = moon pies in the sense that Mardi Gras = parties, drinking and girls on balconies. Moon Pies = wild times? Who knew? ;D

Doesn't hurt that Chuck Taylors are vegan friendly.. Have a look if you haven't already Jarv: www.macca-central.com/macca-albums.phpNothing like the on the nose situation of London Town, but are you sure the twelve degree angle thing isn't there in another album cover or two? Not a McCartney album, but..

Maybe it is a mirror reflection? Artists from a certain era would use this method where they would project the image of something or someone they wished to paint onto the canvas and paint over it, sorta paint by numbers in a way. I can't remember the details, or what it's called but the method was an early way of (almost) capturing a photographic image. Anyone know what this is called? I remember the "tell" that this method was used was to look for clues that it was a mirror image. Oh and WOW Jarv!

Actually 300 or so is normal, it goes up and down. Of course when something interesting happens at Taf's blog, traffic spikes up and vice-versa. The spirit of cooperation between the two is great!

Gotta credit Taf's blog with more great info.. Mr Baker ended up writing a work of fiction and publishing it on his own blog for free. So, with chapter one, it opens with the manager of a rock star who's been around since the 60's being presented with an incriminating photo of said star. Looks like blackmail, or perhaps the sender wants a way of meeting his hero, and chose this bizarre method. I'm intrigued enough to move on to chapter two.. geoffbakerdiaryofamadman.blogspot.com/Oh yeah, you'll get a warning anyway, but it is adult content..

The movies were scripted, and the first one was shot fast, the second one not so much. The TV appearances were many this is true, but they'd already performed the songs live many times, easy to just do it one more time.. Not saying you don't have a point, and I'm not naive enough to believe there isn't a support organization behind pop groups that shoot to the top. (The Monkees were way more up-front about it, or were forced to be) I think they were clearly adept at playing, they had enough time to practice in those German and Liverpool nightclubs, I've heard enough to decide that's true. What John and Paul had to do in the beginning was create a style, and crank out songs at the rapid pace that seemingly is implausible. Some would say they imitated a style, that of the girl groups popular at the time.. Could John and Paul work fast enough to crank them out at that pace? I'd say for the most part yes, but possibly with some help.. (I won't say from their friends)

I saw this cover are in the Klaatu thread. I noticed the little red planet to the left of the orb on the back cover - maybe another pivot point to try? Also, the squiggle of stars in the sky that appear to be a constellation or end of the Milky Way looks like an interesting shape. Jarv once pointed out that "Sir Army Suit" was an anagram of "my siriustar", (yes one "S" is missing) and so I have been trying to find that constellation in the stars on the album.. no luck. Did a little research, and turns out the white dwarf star Sirius B (the collapsed companion to the very bright Sirius A we can see with the naked eye) was thought to be red until 2000 years ago. Don't know how true this is, and how they could see it anyway.. But that doesn't mean it couldn't be a part of the album cover creative process.
