Like most people when they start out on their journey of musical exploration, I was a huge Beatles fan as a twee teenager. So when my family and I took a trip to England one summer, of course I sought out the Abbey Road crosswalk. I'm sure I thought it was a brilliant move at the time. (Sadly, I cannot find the photo to share with you all. My mother must have it somewhere though.)
Anyway, I was intrigued by this time-lapse of a day in the life of Abbey Road. For some reason, I find it painful. It probably has something to do with my inner road rage bubbling at the sight of all those cars having to stop for every dang person who wants their picture taken.
Oh, and the song is "Garble Arch" by Blame Ringo. Pretty good.
