That girlfriend would be photographer (although she did study painting in art school) Astrid Kirchherr, and she later claimed that lots of artsy German boys had that style before the Beatles took the Brylcreem out of their hair.
They probably modeled it on Cesare in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari...

Their hairstyle was an idea from Stuart Sutcliff's girl friend (a German painer) as it is mentionned in Backbeat (Iain Softley).
I heard some people say that was because of their long ears. They were just jealous... ;)

True, I was mistaken with Sutcliff's work of art...
What a beauty his girlfriend was, isn't? I did post some of her pictures in my former blog... Gorgeous.

Frankly, I don't see what any of this has to do with Revolution 9.
Hmm...they are standing still.
And as time went by i think they actually did get a little bit older and a little bit slower.
And John (and Yoko) did become naked...
And generations thereafter dearly wish they hadn't.
