The previous question was:
Q: In the song “A Day In The Life” by the Beatles, there is a line referring to a particular place. What is Blackburn, Lancashire and why does it have 4,000 holes in it?
The answer is:
John Lennon wrote the song and read newspapers to gather some of the snippets in the song. The Daily Mail on January 7, 1967 had an article about the town of Blackburn, Lancashire having a plan to fill 4,000 potholes. The Albert Hall came from his imagination and the connector in the line “Now we know how many holes it takes to FILL the Albert Hall came from his friend Terry Dornan. Up till then he had no idea other than something ____the Albert Hall.
A Day In The Life
AND WE HAVE A WINNER
