Maybe that's where the urban legend attributed to Zappa (see above) comes from. . .Ermm

At the time it was rumoured that you could find proof for Pauls death on the album cover of Abbey Road. Paul is the only one who isn't in lockstep with the others; he's barefoot, which is said to be a sign of mourning in Sicily; the number plate of the VW Beetle in the background reads "28 IF" to comment on the fact that he hadn't reached that age.

The church organ parts in Yes's "Going for the one" were recorded via telephone lines.

Maybe they sat on the same stool? We both know they have the power of invisibility, so they could easily work around gigging issues.

At first I read "giggling issues" and wondered how the invisibility would help. LOL Anyway, they couldn't have sat on the same stool even if one of them had been invisible unless he had also been immaterial (in which case it would have been questionable if he had really sat on the stool or merely situated above it).

Paul McCartney was 27 at the time when Abbey Road was released: according to allmusic.com, the album was released on Sept. 26, 1969.
It is said that the cigarette in Paul's hand should be a sign of his death, and that John Lennon said 'I buried Paul' at the end of 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. John Lennon stated in reply that he had said 'Cranberry Sauce'.

Fripp never giggles. And Zappa chuckles himself to sleep every night. They would never dream of laughing in front of mere mortals like us.

There must be some way they could share the stool permanantly. I'm determined to get to the bottom of this.

"Sharing stool?" Now I know you're referring to that Zappa Urban Legend. . . Confused

Interesting indeed! The final evidence that it's a big hoax: four of the albums mentioned (of which two were probably obscure bootlegs) were released before Wednesday, Nov. 9, 1966 when the accident should have happened. Or even worse: his death might have been planned one year before.
Food for psychologists...

Fripp is the only one worthy of sharing Zappa's stool.
