Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: John Lennon and Yoko Ono were hurt in a July 1969 car crash, and Yoko attended sessions from a bed in the studio, adding another strange pressure point.
2. Studio Lore: George Martin agreed to produce only if the band worked “the way we used to,” making Abbey Road a temporary truce after the Get Back collapse.
3. Album Art: The crosswalk photo fed the “Paul is dead” myth, with bare feet, license plates, and funeral-procession readings turning one simple shoot into Beatles folklore.
