Thank you for posting this, In My Life.

I thought this piece from the link you posted was very interesting: 
Quote
One bit of Freeman trivia that has made the rounds is that his wife, Sonny, was the inspiration for John Lennon’s Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). She allegedly was having an affair with the songwriter at the time of its writing. The claim was backed by reporting in Philip Norman’s 2008 biography of Lennon and by Lennon’s ex-wife Cynthia Lennon in her own biography.

She had to get up in the morning, but John told her he didn't and started to laugh.

Loco, that’s actually Jane Asher. Sometimes Sonny Drane looked liked Jane Asher...



and sometimes she didn’t!

The photographer became a subject in this 1964 photo taken by George (Harrison).

Dear Robert Freeman has passed away. He was one of our favourite photographers during the Beatles years who came up with some of our most iconic album covers. Besides being a great professional he was imaginative and a true original thinker. People often think that the cover shot for  Meet The Beatles of our foreheads in half shadow was a carefully arranged studio shot. In fact it was taken quite quickly by Robert in the corridor of a hotel we were staying in where natural light came from the windows at the end of the corridor. I think it took no more than half an hour to accomplish.

          Paul McCartney














He'll be missed.

Thank you, In My Life.  That was a stupid mistake I made.   I knew I'd seen that face before.

I wonder if that's who Paul was thinking of when he wrote this.

I’m sure he was thinking of Jane. And no, that was not stupid! When Sunny wore her hair long they looked a lot alike.

Thank you, In My Life.  I feel a bit better now.

I still can't understand how Jane could sever a relationship with a Beatle :'(   Can you ???
