TOLD YOU NOT BLACK!


Take a good look at this photo now, I can guarantee most of you know this photo or else, you are not really into English music, but same goes to Paul Cole! The following photo is one of the most popular photographs ever taken.

Here goes, The Abbey Road, cover album for The Beatles

There are plenty rumours about this cover, really a lot, I will give you a couple
1. First of all, they wanted to have this cover taken on Mount Everest, but end up Lennon suggest let's just shot it at Abbey Road
2. The photo was linked to Paul's death (the third guy), which rumour said that it was not him, but a replacement by Billy Shears, with no shoes on, a 'death' symbol in Greece.

Well, that was just rumour, Paul aint dead yet, so? What Paul Cole gotta do with this post? *Laugh*

Yes, that dude at the back, that is Paul Cole! When he saw The Beatles crossing the road, he knows nothing about them, and he called them "The Kooks" adding, "Nobody walks around in London barefooted". He was there as tourist and was waiting for his wife which was strolling around in the museum and was having a short conversation with the police as you can see the police vehicle parked where he was standing at.

Only about a year later, he found out that photo when he saw the album on top of the family albums collection, he double check and then asked his kids to get a magnifying glass to convinced them that he is at the back. :) He died a couple of years ago at the age of 96. May he rest in peace, he might saw them again up there somewhere :)

Another fun facts!
The Volkswagen which appear in the photo belongs to some people who stay there, was sold just for $23,000 in the year 1986 but currently on display at the Volkswagen Museum in Germany
