Now here is what happened with me. My sister was, uh, in 1967, I was eleven, my sister was twenty. My sister was about to get married. And she came home. She was living out, she came home for Christmas. And my mother and father gave her that album for a Christmas present. And my brother had a some other album, because we always asked mom, can we have these albums? We always asked for rock and roll album for Christmas presents. And so my brother and sister played that album after we opened our presents. And I was listening to my brother and sister talk. And my brother said “God, maybe it’s true. Maybe Paul is dead.” My sister said, “really?” They were talking. They were playing that song. “A day in the life” and “Good morning, Good morning” from his rugby days The opening of Good morning, because “Good morning good morning, goes. Nothing to do to save his life, call his wife in”, wow, because the accident, supposedly, Paul McCartney died when the sun was coming up. だから“Good morning, good morning, good morning”, then Ringo Starr’s military drum Jam, “Nothing to do to save his life”. Paul McCartney had no wife, he had a fiancée who he was going to marry. That’s right there, my brother said, they said he died in the morning, and “Good morning, Good morning” is the new day. “Nothing to do to save his life” That’s the key point right there.
