Robert Whitaker's Triptych

A Somnambulant Adventure

Only Whitaker knew the exact manner in which the triptych would have been assembled, and he offered several different explanations prior to his death in 2011. The first image, slated to be the cover of a gatefold sleeve, depicted a woman with her back to the camera, genuflecting before the Fab Four, who stand clasping a string of sausages. According to Whitaker, this represented the “birth” of the Beatles, humans like everyone else. “The sausages are meant to be an umbilical cord,” he said in a 2004 Mojo profile. “And then that image was going to be inset inside a pregnant woman’s womb, and then there was going to be an illustration of a breast with a nipple and a big womb, and the four Beatles laying insider her tummy all connected to an umbilical cord.” 

The second image, the famous “butcher” shot, conveyed the idea that the Beatles were in danger of being dismembered – both physically and psychically – by their celebrity. “It would’ve been two-and-a-quarter-inches square in the center of a 12-inch sleeve,” Whitaker told Mojo of the photo. “Around their heads would have been silver halos with precious stones and then the whole of the rest of it would’ve been like a Russian icon – silver and gold, so that I’ve sort of canonized them and put them into the church. That meat is meant to represent the fans, and the false teeth and the false eyes is the falseness of representing a god-like image as a golden calf.”

The third image shows George Harrison hammering a nail into a blissful John Lennon’s head. Unlike the illusion of fame, the musicians were as real and sturdy as a piece of wood. “John would actually have had a transparent film of wood grain over his face so that he looked like a wood block,” Whitaker later recalled. “There would also have been a horizon with the sky where the water should be and the water where the sky was.”

I'll rip in hands and teeth and take a bite

[yeyinde]

thinking about Simon who just gets out of prison for murder after he's been locked up since he was 18, and starts working at a slaughterhouse for his parole. a big, scary dog who has bloodstains all over him, permanently crusted in the crease of his nails because he prefers field dressing over dragging the carcass inside the shop. who always smells of iron and sweat, and looms over you like he was trying to keep everyone else from looking at you. possessive, but you only know him from rumours and blog posts. his stare, the intense, hungry way he looks at you always gives you the creeps.

he's bad news. and he tries to woo you by feeding you meat from the animals he butchered (getting angry whenever you buy cuts from someone else), and won't go away even when you tell him to leave you alone. you've heard the rumours. read the news articles. nothing about this man is any good—

but he won't, of course. the thing about prison is that you need to hold onto the things that you have and take the stuff that you don't. a sort of cutthroat survival that has raised him better than his own mother. so, when he finds you (something he doesn't have, but wants), it's just in his nature to take.
