Question

In a song off Abbey Road, Mean Mr. Mustard’s sister “takes him out to look at” this person. (15[1])An album named for this person was originally named for a certain politician “on the Guillotine” and features Alain Delon on the cover; the singer on the title track of that album bids “farewell to this land’s cheerless marshes”. A song (15[1])titled for this person, originally titled “No Future”, was played during a river (*) boat concert that was broken up after (10[1])the Metropolitan Police arrested the band; that song decries “the fascist regime”. (10[3])An album titled (10[1])for this person includes a song which claims “to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die” (10[1])and imagines a “double-decker bus” which “crashes into us”. For 10 points, the Beatles were given MBEs by which person, who “Is Dead” in the title of an album by the Smiths? ■END■
