i knew both barbara and linda, but i'm only in touch with barbara these days. they can be seen in the background on that scene where people are jumping inside bags (i'm sure there's a proper name for that in english but i can't think of it now). yes, i believe that is magic alex (nothing magic about him, as far as i'm concerned) and the big guy is anthony, john's driver at the time. the girls were the only ones in our group that found out where they were filming and went every day.
I almost tagged this with "Magic Alex" but then I stopped myself because like Ken I thought, "wait Magic Alex wasn't around in 1967 during Magical Mystery tour..." But it sure does look like the guy (who I agree Lizzie...not a very Magical guy.)
Actually, according to Paul, Alex made his initial appearance in 1966. He designed a light show for the Rolling Stones tour. His friendship with John grew from there.
Is that Magic Alex next leaning on the car? If so, I didn`t know that he was around then already.

ReplyDeleteHe's in the film, on the coach, enjoying that crazy ride.
ReplyDeleteHe's in the film, on the coach, all mustachioed and smiley. That sneaky scamp.
