Not sure if it makes a difference, but one piece of the puzzle that's missing is that the original end of "Glass Onion" was a tape loop of the "It's a Goal!" from the World Cup Final between Germany and England. http://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/glass-onion/ "The second version was recorded in Abbey Road, and contains a selection of sound effects assembled by Lennon. These include a telephone ring, smashing glass, an organ note and a loop of the BBC football commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme exclaiming "It's a goal!" The effects were later replaced by the string arrangement which ends the song." Could mean nothing, but hey, there it is. Great article!

Don't forget McCartney's kid brother Mike has always been a Red. Lennon was always a Red and you're quite right about the reason for the Busby reference - another one of his Dad's heroes. Ringo confirmed he's a Red on a televised interview (on the Craig Ferguson Show in the US) a couple of years ago. Good stuff. Don’t forget McCartney’s kid brother Mike has always been a Red.
