The Fab Four, caged by their superstardom, are seen in silhouette, trying to escape from spotlight bubbles; then they walk off, duplicating the Abbey Road cover amble - cute. Love follows the Beatles through their phases: psychedelic ("Strawberry Fields"), Hindu-mystical ("Within You, Without You") and political ("Revolution," with images of protests, then the letters in Peace and Love literally disintegrating...

"To me, it's still crazy when I walk around and I see people wearing my jersey, people wearing my shoes," said Wade, whose jersey sales are tops in the NBA, and who has a sneaker contract with Converse. "It's still weird to me but I'm sure some kid will go out in the backyard and try to be like me, and that's great." An NBA great who is startled by his own stardom? Now that's rarefied...
