...Pass Me By," of course, can be interpreted as a painfully obvious reference to Paul's death: "I'm sorry that I doubted you; I was so unfair. You were in a car crash, and you lost your hair." "Revolution Number Nine," the strangest cut on the album, includes a backwards tape which repeats the words, "Turn me on, dead man," according to LaBour...
...FRONT cover of Abbey Road, the Beatles' most recent album, shows the group walking across the street, possibly from a cemetery, Paul is the only one barefoot and is the only one out of step; here is another good clue that the Beatles are trying to single out McCartney. The license plate on the Volkswagen behind George has the number 28IF.

Back-up musicians are not supposed to be brilliant instrumentalists; they provide a setting against which the featured artist performs. And while the Band is made up of very competent musicians who work well with each other, the end result lacks focus. While the sound is very fine, it simply does not repay close listening...
