Does anyone know if this was in an episode of The Simpsons or Futurama? I stumbled across it in a photo album on a FB Beatles group. Thanks.

Great pic, though! :D

"1959: Delicia Resonet Futurama, solid-body electric – colour: red sunburst – used on Scotland tour in 1960 and then Hamburg - played on recording, ‘Cry for a Shadow’.

I noticed on the sides of the cathedral I see Lady Madonna, Hey Jude, Father McKenzie, Mother Mary carved into the walls from what I can make out. The address is 99. The clock says 9:10. Could that be referencing John's birthdate of Oct. 9? Or if it's referring to "One After 909"?

Ah! Mystery solved. I was so sure it was Futurama that I didn't even google The Simpsons. There sure is a lot to see in this cartoon. Nine was a very significant number for John so I'm sure that is why it's on there.
