Wow! 40 years? I’m getting old!

[a fool in paradise]

Here’s another clue for you all, the Beatles were playing gigs 50 years ago!

[willgolfforfood]

So are they. The two of them left, anyway.

Pretty good album, too.

[FrdmLvr]

I love the album. I remember the day I bought it, too, just like it was yesterday. I went down to our basement “rec room” to listen to it as soon as I got home with it.

[malos]

My favorite Beatle album.

“IF 28”

Correction: "28IF"

Wonder where that license plate is today

	Why did the Beatles walk across Abbey Road?
	They lost their ticket to ride.

Why did the chicken cross Abbey Road?

It had to get back.

[Gay State Conservative]

I almost got killed crossing Abbey Rd a few years back.The woman who almost hit me...who,I assume,was a “local”....looked particularly annoyed by my activities.

[a fool in paradise]

Probably a Stones (or Abba) fan.

I think I can figure out what the “28IF” supposedly meant, (Paul would be 28 IF he hadn’t died?) but did the “LMW” have any meaning?

Watch it for a while and you will see scampering fans snatching at a gap in the traffic to recreate the shoot - much to the annoyance of local drivers...

Guilty!
