Come TogetherThe song Come Together is about the 4 Beatles. 4 stanzas:George, Ringo, John and Paul in that order.Paul is last and comes after the break which shows that the other 3 are against him. That's why John sings "1 and 1 and 1 is 3". Meaning that Paul knows its 3 to 1. John sums up his take on Paul with "Got to be good looking cause he's so hard to see". John wants the Beatles, especially Paul, to Come Together over him. Listen to stanza 3 -Ono sideboard, bag production and walrus gumboot and "hold him in his armchair you can feel his disease" is all about John. Stanza 2 with "monkey fingers"(drum sticks) is Ringo. And stanza 1 with "got to be a joker he just do what he please" is George. A very biting lennon lyric that he never admitted. |

Post-Let It Be GemAbbey Road represents the last, and perhaps best, Beatles album. Amazing that they could pull this career coda together after the strain of the Let It Be days. |

Brilliant
The first thing I was taught in Broadcasting was that you will never see this business the same way again. After listening to Paul Ingles and his brilliant selection of experts breakdown all aspects of this Beatles classic, you will never listen to the album the same way again.
As I emailed Paul to thank him, all I could think of was...
Brilliant.
