Like most people when they start out on their journey of musical exploration, I was a huge Beatles fan as a twee teenager. So when my family and I took a trip to England one summer, of course I sought out the Abbey Road crosswalk. I’m sure I thought it was a brilliant move at the time. (Sadly, I cannot find the photo to share with you all. My mother must have it somewhere though.)
Anyway, I was intrigued by this time-lapse of a day in the life of Abbey Road. For some reason, I find it painful. It probably has something to do with my inner road rage bubbling at the sight of all those cars having to stop for every dang person who wants their picture taken.
Oh, and the song is “Garble Arch” by Blame Ringo. Pretty good.
this is hilarious. along the same lines…Haight-Ashbury
i have done this! during my london semester in college. and one of the other 4 has the pic, ive never seen it.
If I’m ever there I will have my picture taken walking to the left. That’ll show ’em.
i like all the people who go alone and clearly there is no one around with a camera. alllll the lonely peeeopleeee where do they all come from?
I would LOVE to go see Abbey Road in person. I would totally channel the Beatles, my fave band.
