If you are the type of Beatle fan that owns and wears a Sgt. Pepper suit, then this post is NOT for you. Not that I hate the Sgt. Pepper suit or even people owning them. But whenever I see people wearing them, I just cringe a little inside. They just seem so cliche. Like wearing those pointy ears at a Star Trek convention. The fact of the matter is that the Beatles themselves only wore those suits on two occasions (the Sgt. Pepper album cover photo shoot and the Hello Goodbye promo shoot). I think it would be so much cooler to show up at a Beatles convention wearing the a replica of Paul's "Joker" jacket or one of the outfits we saw the guys wear on a regular occasion. To me, the Sgt. Pepper suit is just a little too over the top. And that is part of the reason why this photo really was sweet to me. Paul overlooked the fans wearing those crazy Pepper suits and kissed their baby! He knows that they are going to make a little baby-sized orange Pepper suit and matching hat for the kid as soon as he/she starts to walk, (notice their older child in the pink suit!) and he doesn't seem to even care about this craziness! Paul McCartney kissed their baby! How many parents can say that? How many kids can grow up telling their friends, "yeah Paul McCartney kissed me. My folks were wearing crazy Sgt. Pepper suits and everything....but yeah....smooch by Paul....beat that!" McCartney kissed Their baby! How many parents can say that? How many Kids Can Grow Up Their telling friends, "yeah Paul McCartney kissed me. My folks Were Sgt Pepper wearing crazy suits and everything .... but yeah .... smooch by Paul .... beat that!"
