Direct quote from page 130, "The Beatles Forever," original first printing, 1977:
"...a large skull on page 8 of the Magical Mystery Tour booklet. If you turn the picture 90 degrees to the right, and stare from a distance of about 10 feet, the beret of the diner nearest the camera is liable to turn into an eye socket. This was deliberately planted as IT IS THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH NOT TAKEN FROM THE ACTUAL FILM."
Page 128, same book:
"...goo goo ga joob comes from 'Finnegan's Wake. These were Humpty Dumpty's last words before he takes a fall and cracks his head..."

Ok, I'll bite. Why does "The Beatles Forever" deliberately talk about clues?

Direct quote from page 130, "The Beatles Forever," original first printing, 1977: "IT IS THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPH NOT TAKEN FROM THE ACTUAL FILM." Not true. BTW I have that photo. There is another photo not taken from the actual film showing Faul dressed like a magician playing with children at the feet of a hill. |

Go to www.caitlain.com/fw/There's an index of evry word in Finnegan's Wake, and I couldn't find that. |

The statements re: finnigan's wake and the 'only pic not from the film' were in QUOTES, meaning the statements were copied from the Beatles Forever book, they were NOT my words.
PB, I find it hard to fathom you've never seen this book, hence your question regarding the PID material in it. The book was probably the first of it's genre, a complete retrospective of the Beatles years and careers. 400 illustrations; record covers never appearing in a book before, etc.
It has to be the most basic of essential Beatles literature.

Since "goo goo gajoob" is essentially a non-sense utterance, maybe it just didn't rate getting an entry in the Finnegan's Wake glossary?
Who owns a copy of this book?
Just find the "Fall of Humpty-Dumpty."
Did he say this right before he had a great Faul?

But the index has "Humpty" and "Dumpty", and even "goo".

I've been reading back posts and this one intreagued me...I did a search here: www.grand-teton.com/cgi-bin/jjoyce/omnisearch.cgiI searched "goo" as a partial word and found that "goo goo ga joob" does not occur anywhere in the work. IanSingleton - I am only refuting the author of The Beatles Forever. I do think it is interesting that the author of the book connotes "goo goo ga joob" with death though. |
