The Love you take is equal to the love you make. How prescient! Released on September 26, 1969, Abbey Road is actually the final Beatle record even though Let It Be was released at a later date.

While I in the immortal words of the Kingfish “mull over the situation,” here is something you may enjoy. A walk through [...]
