another thing I get a kick out of, is the 60s local radio or tv station vans... here's the "News Cruiser" on the spot getting coverage of the Beatles 2nd Detroit concert (best way to get free access to the best concerts, work for a radio station)

today is the 50th anniversary of a rock album named for a road, but which made a crosswalk famous. Abbey Road, a rock n roll masterpiece.

It was on August 8, 1969, that photographer Iain Macmillan scaled a step ladder to get the right angle, and  snapped the photo that would change Abbey Road’s future forever.

The following month they would release an album named after the northwest London street where it had been recorded, and that album’s iconic cover would seal the street’s fate.

Abbey Road, the Beatles’ final album, is their strongest and the best summation of the foursome’s best qualities.

By the way, that guy above Lennon's shoulder was made famous by this photo too!

I was born long after they they broke up, so, in time to enjoy all of their work, movies, and individual work (Ringo's music was so 70s (No No Song), and so was Wings, and Imagine, and George's triple album All Things Must Pass)

The world has been a better place because of the Beatles making music
