What Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers might have looked like.

So.....this concludes LollaPaulooza.

Although I learned a few things on my Internet searches....

Didja know...

• Paul's first wife Linda's ex-husband.........killed himself a week after finding out that all of her $220 million dollar estate was left to Paul. His name was Joseph and he was rumored to be the "Jo-Jo" from the Beatles "Get Back" song.

• Jo-Jo killed himself in his Tuscon, AZ home....far from "California grass".

• Paul's new fiance and future wife Nancy...... niece of Barbara Walters.

• The Beatles original drummer (before Ringo) was Pete Best. Pete's mother became romantically involved with Neil Aspinall who was the Beatles first roadie, 17 years her junior, Pete's best friend...and lived with Pete's family. Pete's mom became pregnant with Neil's baby....and Pete was fired from the band weeks after his mom gave birth....mmmmmmmm?

• Neil went on to manage the Beatles and run Apple records. He was instrumental in protecting the Beatles library as well as instigating lawsuits with Apple Computers over copyright infringement.

• Pete went on to develop his line of "I'm not Ringo!" t-shirts

• You too can watch the Abbey Road crossing 24/7 http://www.abbeyroad.com/visit/

Next week starts my salute to Wham!

Up on the roof.....

then and now...

Marty

Close but no cigars......

A lot of half-rights this week.....and a lot of neighbors I even forgot I had....

but this week's correct answers were Keith Denemark and

Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE.

Keith was my next door neighbor back on Kilbourn and obviously a Paul fan.

We'll get back to serious TT puzzlers starting next week.

Only a couple more days left of LollaPAULooza.

Enjoy....
