BR 2-01: THE BEATLES

"Everything about the album was special --- even the cover. It showed the band with a crowd of famous people --- writers, singers, actors, thinkers. At first there was a photo of Mahatma Gandhi, but the record company asked the band to take it off. They didn't want to make people in India angry" (Shipton, 2002, p. 25).

 I like the Beatles very much. That's why I chose this book. My parents also like them, so we often listen their song and music together.

 I have 2 posters of them. One is the "Abbey Road". This is  a very famous album over the world. This book writes about it, too. After Abbey Road arrived in the shops in October 1969, a radio station in the US started a strange story.  They said Paul was dead! Because on the album's cover, he wasn't wearing shoes. In some countries, dead people are dressed in clothes but not shoes. My mother knows this story.  However, of course he is alive even now. I like Paul the best of four.  I think he is cool. And I like his voice.  But my mother says John is the best.
