Pelsi: Olen itsekin kuullut tuosta rakastamismerkityksestä. Peukku pitää kuulemma olla ylhäällä myös. Tuolla tavalla saadaan viittomakielen aakkosista kombinaatio kirjaimista I, L ja Y. Eli tietyissä piireissä se meinaa siis I Love You. Mutta ei sotketa sitä vakavahenkiseen hevikeskusteluun. Losing all hope is freedom. |
John Lennon In 1966, the Beatles released the single "Yellow Submarine" with "Eleanor Rigby." The cover features John Lennon making a hand sign similar to today's version of the devil's horns. His thumb is out, and rather than his palm, the back of his hand is facing forward. In January 1969, The Beatles released the full-album "Yellow Submarine," a soundtrack to the 1968 animated film. The cartoon illustration of Lennon is making the sign of the horns as we know it today. Thumb in, palm out. There is no definitive explanation for what Lennon meant by the sign. The most common speculation is that it signaled an interest in Aleister Crowley, an infamous, early 1900s, black magic practitioner who at one time called himself Baphomet, an occult figure idolized as a horned half-man, half-goat. In that light, the hand sign would represent a goat or ram's head. Crowley appears on the cover of The Beatles' 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." |
