Beatles & Saints

Yes on the yellow sub.

Jude is a man’s first name as well, in England. I also asked Jeeves, he did not know. There are 10 000 Hey Jude pages in Altavista, and about 8000 contain the lyrics.

This song was always a bit of a mystery even though i’ve read the hey Jules explanation.

Mal Evans was also the “soloist” on the alarm clock, backing up the full orchestra on Day In The Life.

As well as being the hammer on Maxwell’s Silver Hammer… :smiley:

So who played the saxophone solo on “Lady Madonna” ?

(Brian Jones played alto sax on “You Know My Name [Look Up the Number],” but I doubt it was him on “Madonna.” Possibly he was dead by then.)


Uke

He wanted an annulment on the grounds that the Queen was his brother’s widow (which counted as incest in the Roman Catholic Church then and still does), and that the Pope hadn’t have the right to toss the law aside just because Henry’s father asked him to.

<<BobT Writes :
There were two Judases among the 12 apostles. The good one usually has his name spelled as Jude or as Thaddeus. The bad one is always Judas or Judas Iscariot.>>

I'm still trying to figure this one out. I have to believe that the people who actually wrote this stuff down ( starting....what?.....50 years after the death of Christ? ) did some of this. I mean, we're NOT talking about 62,000 Apostles. Or, did they only have 7 names back then? There seem to be an amazing variety of names in the Bible ( Old and New ) and yet...such duplication in a field of only 12???

Any thoughts on that?

Lady Madonna: it was not Brian. Some session musicians, might be in the anthology booklet.

Uke + sun: don’t know the answer to that one. There is a mention of saxes in the Anthology booklet, without going into specifics. Uke, you could most probably find this information in Mark Lewishon’s “Beatles Recording Sessions”, a remarkable compilation of each and every session (bit repetitious, but rather fascinating on the whole). Lewishon penned the liner notes in the Anthology series.

I would like to add that the inimitable Wilson Bryan Key in one of his excellent books very adroitly proved that “Hey Jude” is about drugs.

Likewise with “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
