The farewell that pretends not to be one: side two's medley turns scraps into the most graceful sixteen minutes in rock, and "Come Together," "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun" would each anchor lesser bands' careers. The Beatles ended exactly here, in full command. Fifty-plus years on, Abbey Road still sounds like the destination.
