>Джон на слушаньи дела по Уотергейту. 1973 год.

Очень заинтересовало фото, я так понял что Джон подстрижен под "бокс", я где-то читал что было время и он вовсе ходил лысый - это случайно не того периода?

2Expert:

Может есть еще фото этого периода (дело по Уотергейту) и желательно качества получше?

Этого парня на значке Джорджа и на Сержанте зовут Бабаджи

Sri Mahavatara Babaji (guru, 203 - )
With his lithe and youthful figure, Mahavatar Babaji was said to have been born in 203 A.D. in Parangipettai, Tamil Nadu, India, called Nagaraj (King of the Serpents), an eternal master, living in an immortal body about 1,800 years old. The world first heard about him courtesy of Paramahansa Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi". He was initiated by Agastyar into Kriya Kundalini Pranayama at Courtrallam, Pothigai Hills, Tamil Nadu. Babaji, and his guru Agastyar, are part of the Siddha yoga tradition, which extends back at least 10,000 years. Babaji is also the founder of kriya yoga, a discipline involving purification of the body-mind organism through breath control techniques to aid longevity and spiritual evolution. 'Mahavatar' means 'great incarnation'. He is also known as Mahakaya Babaji (the word 'Mahakaya' describing his immortal body), Kriya Babaji Nagaraj, or Shiva Baba).

Вот вся инфа, прилагаемая к фоте:

un 1973, Washington, DC, USA --- 6/27/1973-Washington, D.C.- Former Beatle John Lennon, sporting a short haircut, and his wife Yoko Ono, are among the spectators at the Watergate hearings 6/27. At the witness table was John Dean III.

Стригся он и в 1970 году. Тоже была короткая стрижка. Тоже есть фоты, где он обменивает волосы на трусы Мухамеда Али. Про Ленноновскую лысину же ничего не слышал.

Вот так это выглядело в 70-ом. Правда, ни в этом, ни в другом случае это вряд ли можно назвать боксом. Бокс это кажется когда чубчик к лысине прилагается. А здесь вроде канадка. Так наверное.

2Expert:

70-й помню и видел эту стрижку в клипе Instant karma нечто похожее. Просто что б настолько коротко он был подстрижен вижу впервые.

Пол с младых лет обожал надевать на себя всякую полицейскую меморабилию. Будь то Ши-стэдиум - шерифские звездочки или шеврончики для Пеппер'с кавер.

Медали принадлежали дедушке Пита Беста:


Revealed: The REAL Sergeant Pepper
By NICK MCDERMOTT

While Paul McCartney and George Harrison proudly sported their MBEs on the sleeve of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, John Lennon refused to be pictured with the award he would later return to Buckingham Palace.

Instead, he wore five antique medals on his left breast.

Until now, the truth about where those medals came from has eluded devotees of the band. In fact, they once belonged to Major Thomas Shaw, grandfather of the 'fifth Beatle', Pete Best.

The band's original drummer, Best was sacked by manager Brian Epstein in 1962 shortly before they hit the big time.

The drummer, who still tours with his own band, revealed the history of the decorations on the 40th anniversary of the release of Sgt Pepper - one of the most influential albums in rock.

Its psychedelic cover featured a collage of life-sized cardboard models fronted by the four Beatles in fluorescent military attire.

Lennon, a fan of military paraphernalia, remembered the medals long after Best had been replaced as drummer by Ringo Starr. They were awarded to Major Shaw for exemplary service with the British Raj in India.
A member of the 11th (Prince of Wales's Own) Bengal Lancers between 1876 and 1903, Major Shaw was awarded the Afghan War Medal and three other crosses during the two-year Second Anglo-Afghan War, which ended in 1880.

He was awarded two other medals to mark the length of his service.

Lennon called Best's mother Mona - then the owner of the Casbah Club in Liverpool - out of the blue to ask if he could borrow the medals for the cover shoot with artist Peter Blake.

Best, 66, said: "Every time John came to the Casbah, he would ask to see the medals. He just loved the look and the feel of them and never tired of the stories behind them.

"Mum lived in India for a while, which was when my grandad was awarded the medals.

"She was delighted to see John wear them on what turned out to be one of the greatest albums ever.

"John knew how important they were, so they were returned swiftly with a polite thank-you note."

Major Shaw's six medals - Lennon wore five of them - have gone on display to mark the album's 40th anniversary at the Casbah in West Derby, Liverpool, where the Beatles played before their days at The Cavern.

The band received their MBEs in October 1965. Lennon returned his in 1969 in protest at British involvement in Biafra.

А вот и сам дедушка - майор Томас Шоу.

Знаменитая пресс-конференция в Нью-Йорке. У Джона- значок "префекта автобусного парка"(такой перевод в Антологии,по крайней мере)

Качественные фото, полученные из источников, близких к достоверным :), позволяют говорить не иначе как о битловской фалеристике.
