Paul had a geodome in his garden at St. John's Wood where he used to write and rehearse music with the other Beatles at times. I think they called it his Glass onion. Cool!https://sp1.yimg.com/ib/th?id=HN.608036449987988837&pid=15.1

Here's a better shot.

It's interesting that john is probably reflecting on some of the songs that we're written or perfected while in the dome it's almost like a different version of Penny Lane or In My Life only he's reminiscing about songs instead of people and/or places through the windows of the place they were perfected. A room with granny specs...!

Interesting thing about the "clue" for you all lyric was written over a year before the story broke in late 1969.

You had me excited there for a sec, bro, thinking 'hang on, I never realised this. Maybe Paul did die'!

Then I remembered John is referring to who was in the Walrus costume in MMT, and whether he was for or against the Walrus or the Carpenter that he hinted IATW was about.

I think...lol

Stay excited. My point was that this is one of two clues that are deliberate references to the Paul Is Dead hoax. The other was my avatar from MMT for a while but even I found it a bit too creepy!

What am I missing in that photo Dcazz? Except that it has a sort of creepy face look when viewed as a thumbnail I'm not sure why it's a Paul is Dead clue.

If you have the MMT vinyl album, go to the page of the banquet(which is not in the movie). Hold the album sideways with the man's beret at the top and stand back about 10-15 feet and see what you see. In one of my early posts I suggested some friends and a few beers! Anyway someone has to hold it.
My conclusion of this photo being in the album is that The Beatles had to approve it so as it has nothing to do with the movie it is deliberate and IMHO proves the hoax!

Ah gotcha. So it is that creepy skeletal face that seems to appear with the beret as one eye. I'd assumed this was a coincidental simulacrum.

That's Mr. Buster Bloodvessel.  He's quite harmless.  He thinks he's the courier.  Last trip he thought he was the driver.

Thanks for reminding me about that, Dave.

Martha liked to meditate in the geodome.

Love that geodome. Do those photographs suggest it had a floor that went up and down? If so I'm triple jealous.

Yes...

I'm jealous too!

Maybe that's the hole he was fixing that keeps his mind from wandering.
