Abbey Road

Here it is – the famous recording studio that was named after the album the Beatles recorded there that was named after the road the studio was on*. Excellent!
(*Yes, that’s true. )
I started to shoot some footage of the famous crosswalk, but the batteries on my flip vid died. Thus saving the quiet village of St. John’s Wood from yet another tourist going “Ooh look, I’m crossing the road just like the Beatles! Ooo!”
I did, however, cross the road just like the Beatles. I felt special.
(Also, I realize now that that doesn’t actually say “Oasis is King”. It actually says “Oasis hearts Kim. E.” No idea. At any rate, Oasis is shitty and overhyped just like that graffito.)
Update: Check out this great time-lapse video of an entire day of tourists reenacting the album cover. Good for a chuckle:

Oh, how cool! I always wanted to do that, being an “original” Beatles fan. Did I ever tell you that I went to one of their concerts, way back in 1964? I was a mere child, of course. (Actually, I was 12 years old.)
Anyway, you don’t need Abbey Road to be special… You already are. 🙂
Way too cool…
