Octopus' Garden - Aaron Mermelstein

"Paul is dead" was just the beginning. It's 1970 and Beatle fans around the world eagerly comb the album covers and listen to Beatle songs forward and backward, trying to find hidden "clues" that might lead to a logical solution or confirmation to the rumor that "Paul is dead." When two college radio DJ's join the search, they learn what the clues REALLY mean and begin an odyssey that takes them far beyond their studio. They discover a conspiracy to create a genuine Utopia, a true "Octopus' Garden." They are launched into a world-wide intrigue and quest that very quickly changes their lives forever. After forty years, Jeff Scott finally reveals the solution to the mystery and confesses that the "clues" were were actually well-placed guides that led him, and hundreds of others to a life-changing experience and a life changing place: a genuine "Octopus' Garden" beneath the waves. The book recaptures the spirit and excitement of Beatlemania and--perhaps most important--the time when Beatle fans and Baby Boomers felt there was something special going on in their world.
