50 years have passed,
, the most famous street in rock history,
is still people coming and going
northpark2018) There is such a plot in the movie "Miracle of Yesterday": The marketing director of the record company questioned the protagonist who put Abbey Road (Abbey Road) As the idea of the album's name, "Abbey Road, there is nothing special, it's just a road, and the driving direction is wrong." It makes sense. If the world really develops according to the plot in the movie, and there has never been a band called The Beatles, then this tree-lined path in St. John’s Wood, an upscale London neighborhood, does not make sense to appear on a popular album. On the cover, it’s impossible to become a holy place in the hearts of rock fans all over the world. Fortunately, this is a world with Beatles. On September 26, 1969, the Beatles’ last co-recorded album "Abbey Road" was officially released in the UK. Fifty years have passed, and the most famous street (perhaps none) in the history of rock music is still crowded with people. Regarding this almost well-known album cover, band member Paul McCartney explained in an interview that Paul McCartney said that the inspiration for this photo of four people crossing the road together was actually improvised, the original work The plan was to shoot around the theme of Mount Everest, but no one in the band was willing to travel to Nepal, so it was suggested that it should be done on the small road outside the recording studio. The day
was taken was August 8, 1969. The person who took the photo was John Lennon’s friend Ian McMillan. He stood on a ladder and took 6 photos at random, of which the fifth one eventually became The album cover. "Abbey Road" is the eleventh album of The Beatles, which was recorded in the Abbey Road Studios in April of that year. The album has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and was voted 14th in the 500 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. Those songs on the album have long become timeless classics, like "Here Comes The Sun" and "Something" written by George Harrison, and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" written by John Lennon. Only 14 words in 8 minutes. There is a long-lived story about "Here Comes The Sun". It says that the five astronauts on the Discovery had their first morning in space when they woke up listening to this song. The Houston Control Center told them The first sentence of "Discovery, good morning, thank you for bringing sunshine into our hearts." But reality has never been so romantic as music. During the recording of Abbey Road, the band members had some differences in creation. The recording scene was a mess. It was Paul McCartney who personally retrieved the fifth-man producer George Martin (George Martin). Martin), this album was barely finished. At that time, the split was inevitable. George Harrison said that his wish was to make a "good album", but under these circumstances, they still made a nearly perfect album. According to Pitchfork's comment, "The perfect end of the recording career. This album shows their superb creative skills, which others only envy." But after the album was released, the original quarrel even gradually evolved into a mutual lawsuit. To this extent, media reports at the time continued to add fuel and jealousy. They believed that the dispute was related to the spouse of the band members. Many music fans once attributed the dissolution of The Beatles directly to Yoko Ono. But from this month's Fox News interview with Beatles producer biographer Kenneth Womack (Kenneth Womack), the reason for the band's dissolution is more complicated than outsiders guessed. Womack believes that “the real reason was John Lennon’s drug addiction problem at the time. Because of their close relationship with relatives, they would also encounter the same problems as other families suffering from drug addiction. Then came the painful part of the story." No matter how much controversy was left at the time, the longer time passed, the clearer the Beatles as a cultural and spiritual symbol. When every anniversary related to the Beatles arrives, music fans will still come to Abbey Road and take part in the commemoration spontaneously. A company called Earth Cam's company has even carried out a full web video live broadcast of Abbey Road since 2011.
According to CNN, this year’s Beatles commemorative event was extremely hot, and it once caused traffic jams. A British fan said emotionally in front of the camera lens, “Thinking that we were 50 years apart, but once appeared in the same place. , It makes me feel that I have some kind of emotional connection with them." Richard Porter, who had planned a tour related to the Beatles, also told CNN a story about Abbey Road Porter once came into contact with a defector who fled from North Korea to South Korea. After he fell in love with the Beatles in South Korea, he traveled to Abbey Road. Porter told CNN, "He cried when he first saw Abbey Road. Come out, this is a symbol of freedom for him. "Although the Beatles have no new works for a long time, cultural activities and artistic works about the Beatles have never stopped. The movie "Miracle of Yesterday", which was released in the mainland in August this year, spent 30 million pounds to purchase the music rights of the Beatles, allowing Beatles fans to spend a new year in the cinema; Sister Thunder invited John last weekend Lennon’s son Sean Lennon sang the song "Tomorrow Never Came" on the same stage, paying tribute to the Beatles’ "Tomorrow Never Knows"; and today Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr also had a reunion at the Abbey Road Studio. And on the Stephen Colbert show that aired on Monday night, Paul McCartney also revealed that he always wondered if he would make the band fall apart as the "villain". He I have dreamt of John Lennon many times, and all dreams about him are "all beautiful." When asked how he feels about fame, he said emotionally that he always feels that he has two selves. One is a celebrity that everyone sees cheering, and the other is the one who grows up on the streets of Liverpool. Boy, never changed. Yes, the disturbances that have been there will always pass by with the passage of time, only great music is eternal, the sun will always rise, it's all right.
