We’d been filming a TV piece to go with ‘ Strawberry Fields Forever.’ There was a break and I went into this shop and bought an old poster advertising a variety show which starred Mr. John himself explains in a 1967 interview: “It was from this old poster for an old-fashioned circus from the 1800’s that I’d bought at an antique shop. “John and I wandered in and John spotted this framed Victorian circus poster and bought it.” “There was an antique shop close to the hotel we were using in Sevenoaks,” recalls Apple employee Tony Bramwell who was producer of the promo clip. Kite!’ on it…I think he was just advanced in his awareness of putting everything in a song” “We had a lunch break, and we went in an antique shop on the way to the restaurant…We were looking at what they had there and John pulled out this thing that we found…a little poster which had more or less the whole lyric of the song ‘Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite’ when we were filming in Sevenoaks in Kent,” remembers George Harrison about their second day of filming their promo clip for “ Strawberry Fields Forever” on January 31st, 1967. So what do you do on your lunch breaks? Other than eating, have you ever used your time productively in such a way that you’d be inspired to create a masterpiece?
