Cristi: I don’t think there were any hints in “Tomorrow Never Knows”. After all, that song was released before the rumor started. There was a “hint” (“The walrus was Paul”) in “Glass Onion”. What cracks me up about the whole PID thing is the “facts” people used to support their theories. Since when is the walrus a symbol of death?

Led Zepplin I and IV

“Houses of the Holy” is great too (gee Chief I have to agree with ya on that one, thought I was the only one who knew that secret.)

Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” is classic, also love “The Wall” art.

May look like a geek for this one, but I always thought the cover of “Pyromania” by Def Lepard was neat.

> Also- I have a question. I remember well the ‘Sticky Fingers’ albums, but could never bring myself to unzip one, because, well, I didn’t wanna look, uh, well, like I was interested in finding out what was, er, behind the zipper. Now that I’m so much more comfortable with myself, uh, what’s behind it???

Basil: If you undo the zipper, there’s a corresponding photo of jockey briefs. But I don’t think both pictures are of the same guy. The jeans conceal a total fire hose; the jockeys hold nothing. Also, the jeans are worn by a model, not Jagger as many assumed.
