Trivia

 * In the song "Glass Onion", John tells us that, "I told you 'bout the fool on the hill", although it is Paul who tells us.
 * The morning that Paul wrote the song Alistair Taylor, Brian Epstein's assistant, and Paul went for a walk completely sober and drug free. They were looking at the sunrise when somebody appeared behind them, seeming like he was out of nowhere. They talked to him on the hill about the sunrise. They turned back to the sunrise and it was like he disappeared again.
