A Day in the Life
On this day in Rock History:
John Lennon met Yoko Ono this week in 1966 at a showing of her work. The exhibition was titled, Unfinished Paintings and Objects, and was held at the Indica Art Gallery in London. She supposedly doesn’t know who Lennon is but the sparks didn’t fly for another two years.
On the same date, Paul McCartney apparently died in a car accident, as he “blew his mind out in a car.” But it wasn’t until 1969 that the rumours of McCartney’s death began to circulate. Their classic, “A Day in the Life” track from the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album was supposed to describe the car accident that killed McCartney. “He blew his mind out in a car, he didn’t notice that the lights had changed.”
