I love this old postcard but I wish the back had given a bit more information than the obvious. Wouldn't it be fascinating to know in what hallway lined with coats hung on hooks the lads sat on a bench for this shot? I looked through a listing of videos on youtube to see if I could identify their attire. It doesn't appear that they wore those particular suits on the Ed Sullivan Show (I hope Ed Sullivan provided them with a bit cushier waiting area!) -- but it is a given that the image is well before 1968, when they recorded Revolution.
Revolution - lyrics
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
In a bit of irony, my former post titled We All Want to Change the World, included striking before/during photos (not my photos) of Earth Hour showing the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx...
