Fab 4 Beatles Gnomes? Ever heard of Beatles Gnomes? This thread's title is unusual - if you're a Beatles fan like me, perhaps you know what the "Gnome" significance is about....I did not, until this morning, so I'm sharing the story. I ran across the song "Isn't it a Pity" by George Harrison, which upon hearing it first this morning, absolutely stunned me...it is fantastic...the link to it is below, and is of quintessential Fab 4 storytelling quality. The song is from the album "All Things Must Pass". From wiki: "All Things Must Pass is the third studio album by English rock musician George Harrison. Released as a triple album in November 1970, it was Harrison's first solo work after the break-up of the Beatles in April that year. It includes the hit singles "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life", as well as songs such as "Isn't It a Pity" and the title track that had been overlooked for inclusion on releases by the Beatles." As I was listening to the song of note, I studied, squinted even...at the album cover, which was an oddity to me, so I looked up to see what the album photo meant. So what does the cover mean? It is to show George's independence from the Fab 4 after the 1970 breakup. Take a look - very clever. From wiki: "The original vinyl release consisted of two LPs of songs and a third disc of informal jams titled Apple Jam. Several commentators interpret Barry Feinstein's album cover photo, showing Harrison surrounded by four garden gnomes, as a statement on his independence from the Beatles." So there you have it - hope you enjoyed this bit of Beatles trivia! THE SONG: www.youtube.com/watc h?v=-n-LULDiJxk

Maver1ck : Thanks for posting. I didn't think I would know the song, but of course I did. I was in high school at the time. It was a huge deal when the Beatles broke up.

I did enjoy it and on an unrelated note, I bought 4 really good seat tickets to the scheduled Stones concert at the end of April at NRG Stadium. For me, on my list of great bands, it has always been 1.- Beatles 1A- Stones And then everyone else

Using Joe's AI generated image maker, here's a young George Harrison. Cool!!!
