Not quite enough of a motoring connection for a motoring thread.

I see Paul is wearing flip-flops.

He was famously barefoot for the main photo.

This led to all sorts of speculation at the time by people who thought his lack of shoes was a coded message.

Among the theories were that he'd left the band, was ill, or even dead.



The Front Cover:

1.) The common meaning of the Beatles' dress - Lennon in white for a priest, Ringo as the undertaker, George as the grave digger, and of course Paul, in his bare feet, holding a cigarette in his right hand (being lefty) all means death.

2,) The police vehicle parked to the right in the photograph is a morgue wagon.

3.) The Volkswagen parked on the left side of the street has a tag that reads, "LMW 28IF. This has been construed to mean "LMW - Linda McCartney Weeps" and the "28IF" means that Paul would have been 28 years old IF he had lived.

No closet - I've posted on here a few times about how fab the Fab Four are.

What have I missed? I didn't know Paul was dead.
