ok on the original abbey road album cover, did paul have a cigarette in his hand? because Im looking at my poster and it's in cigarette holding position, was this like, deleted out or something? have there been any changes to their album covers? (other than the dr/baby/meat cover)
Well, Paul is 'ciggie in hand' on the cover of my copy, so you must have some strange censored version.. lol
Paul has the ciggy on mine. But yeah, they've now decided to edit out the cigarette as part of the anti-smoking campaigne. As if there aren't a million other pics of Paul McCartney (or John, or Ringo, or George) with a cigarette. But I guess since it's Abbey Road, one of the greatest albums of all time, they decided Paul holding (holding, he's not even smoking it) might sway some impressionable youngins out there to take up smoking. Rubbish if you ask me.
That is just...well, silly is the best word I can come up with. How horrible! Scandalous! He is holding a cigarette!
I know!! Someone ought to phone up Sir Paul right now and damn him all to hell for doing such a horrible, devilish thing! Paul McCartney holding a cigarette...I'm going to have nightmares! Oh the terror!
