Customer Review: The cover of "Abbey Road" and the "Paul is Dead" theory
Summary: 5 Stars
Apparently it is something of a London tradition to go to a zebra crossing in St. John's Wood, in the city of Westmister in greater London, and walk across the road in bare feet. That is because on August 8, 1969 that was the location outside of the EMI studio at 3 Abbey Road where the most famous cover for a Beatles' album was shot by Iain MacMillan; the studio is now called Abbey Road Studio because of this famous association. I understand there is a store next to the tube station that hands out free maps so you can find your way, and there is all sorts of merchandise (t-shirts, coffee mugs, key chains, etc.) depicting the crossing to be bought.
The cover of "Abbey Road" was also the last clue in the "Paul is Dead" running gag that the Beatles had going. Paul McCartney had been in a motorcycle accident in 1966, but somehow the rumor got out that it was a car crash and that Paul had been killed (decapitated apparently), replaced by a look alike named William Campbell (apparently the actor who played Trelane on the original "Star Trek"), dumped Paul's girlfriend Jane Asher and married Linda Eastman instead. The "Sgt. Pepper" album was seen as containing a wealth of clues, especially Paul being pictured were an O.P.D. ("Officially Pronounced Dead"), which was reinforced by him wearing a black carnation in the booklet for "Magical Mystery Tour" and the "I buried Paul" line you can hear at the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever" (Lennon claimed he was really saying "cranberry sauce," but where is the fun in that?). Then there was the song "Glass Onion" on the "White Album" where John Lennon informs us, "Here's another clue for you all...the walrus was Paul."
But it was the cover shot of "Abbey Road" that was the final nail in the coffin, so to speak. The idea is that this is Paul's funeral procession. John is Jesus dressed in white, Ringo Starr is the minister (or funeral director in some interpretations), Paul is the barefoot corpse (no need for shoes in the afterlife), and George Harrison is the gravedigger. There is also the fact that Paul is out-of-step with the other three Beatles, which signifies either being dead or left-handed. But then we get to the license plate on the Volkswagen Beetle (oooh, "Beetle," get it?), which reads: "LMW 28IF." This is translated as "Linda McCartney Weeps" and reminds us that Paul would have been "28 IF" he had lived. With this 34 ½ x 22 ¼ wall poster the you can look at all the evidence for yourself to make up your own mind, or it could just represent your favorite shot of the Beatles from the cover of what proved to be their last great album.
What I remember best of the "Paul is Dead" craze was that there was a Robin story in one of the "Batman" comics where the Boy Wonder investigates the death of one of the members of the world's most famous music group. It turns out that "Paul" is still alive, but that it was the other three who died and the hoax is just a case of misdirection so nobody notices what has happened. I know that it is a 50-50 proposition at this point, but since I think the law of irony usually applies I think Paul will one day be the last of the Beatles. That would hold true if we go top to bottom on the cover of "Yellow Submarine' and clockwise on the "Revolver" cover, but not if we go left to right on the "With the Beatles" cover, right to left on the cover of "Please Please Me," or top to bottom as in on the cover of "A Hard Day's Night."
