NEVER HIS GUITAR STYLE OF CHOICE -- I GIVE YOU JOHNNY BOY ON A GIBSON SG.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on film stills of the late, great John Lennon (1940-1980) of THE BEATLES, borrowing George Harrison's 1964 Gibson SG electric guitar during the "Hey Bulldog" recording session at EMI's Studio Three, London, UK, on February 11, 1968.
Fuck me, I never knew John had ever picked up an SG, let alone being photographed playing one, even it was just for this one off session. John on a Gibson SG?! Say it ain't so!

SCENES FROM ABBEY ROAD
LECTURE 20: THE END: Images from the Abbey Road sessions, from the spring and summer of 1969.
“I don’t like people explaining albums. The only way you can explain it is to hear it. You can’t really use words about music, otherwise we’d do a talking album. The album is the explanation, and it’s up to you to make sure what you want of it. There is no theme to Abbey Road. There never is a theme to any of our albums, although some people saw one in Sgt. Pepper.”
— Paul McCartney, 1969
“Abbey Road was like a freak. It was an effort trying to produce something that we used to produce, because it was already disintegrating on the White Album because there was so much material. Either we would have had to make double albums every time or Paul and I would have had to say, “OK, we’ll only have two songs on every album,” and that wouldn’t have been fun for Paul and I. It had to break.”
— John Lennon, 1970
“Maybe when I get the album finished and in the sleeve, then I’ll get some sort of expression of it. When I did Pepper and the White Album I got an overall image of the album, but whereas with this one, I’m kind of lost. People have said, ‘It’s great! It’s a bit more like Revolver. Well, maybe it is, but it still feels very abstract to me. I can’t see it as a whole. It all fits together, but it’s a bit like it’s something else. It doesn’t feel like it’s us. We spent hours doing it, but I still don’t see it like us. It’s more like somebody else. It’s a very good album.”
—George Harrison, 1969
“he second side of Abbey Road is incredible! The White Album, ninety-nine percent of it is very good. If I had Desert Island Discs, I’d take the White one or Abbey Road, I think. I like the boys playing together, you know. I like a group.”
—Ringo Starr, 1969

I will say, the addition of the minor bit of time travel nonsense in Ghibli’s Howl’s Moving Castle is probably my favourite change to the story, just the “there you are sweetheart, I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” lives in my head rent free and it’s so good! So soft! Because this Howl really has been looking for Sophie! She told him to!
It just makes my heart happy.
