Abbey Road




TIL the Beatles album, Abbey Road, was originally going to be called Everest but none of the Beatles wanted to fly to the Himalayas to take a photo so they just called the album Abbey road.





I've just realized The Beatles broke up around the time of Abbey Road, and it has blown my mind.

I've just realized The Beatles broke up around the time of Abbey Road, and it has blown my mind.

I mean, who does that? At the height of their musical powers, and with so much more to give as a band, they began to disintegrate. Of course, at the time, we all know that things had gotten quite bad among the band members, and I will not mention the details, but with the hindsight of a fan who loves every single aspect of their music, for the first time their break-up does not register as a sad/emotional event for me anymore, but a mind-blowing one instead due to the realization that this was not a band who were getting old, or had lost a member, or who did not have any material left to record, but instead burned bright and hot and went out like a matchstick.
