... 30:30 is in the tradition of pop art rock'n'roll sleeves alive with reference and symbol ... Sgt Pepper style, sorta, kinda, maybe, perhaps ... perhaps not.
Anyway, the Paul Is Dead conspiracy theory of late '60s looked for clues that McCartney had perished in a (real) car crash he had in 1967, which was mysteriously followed by a Paul McCartney lookalike contest ...
One of the cryptic clues is the registration of the VW on the cover of Abbey Rd ...
"A Volkswagon has a license plate that says "28 if", meaning, Paul would be 28 if he were alive. John is dressed in white, as the preacher. Ringo is dressed as pallbearer, Paul, who is out of step, barefoot, and holding a cigarette in his right hand when he is a left hander, is the corpse. And George is dressed like the grave digger."
That the Beatles intended none of this probably means we shouldn't stare too hard at the Pogues big red bus ... It's just a bus
