The lead guitars and Paul's bass are detuned to D. McCartney's D-C-B-B♭ descent, and the guitars' droning B, suggest a Hijaz and tambura influence from India.

Leen Hijaz did nothing wrong!
She exercised her right to free speech to speak out against injustice, and the second she called out ICE, Principal Melissa Hubbard grabbed her arm and cut off her speech, then withheld her diploma. Good on Hijaz for telling the truth. Fuck Melissa Hubbard.

This valedictorian had the courage to speak out against injustice and call her classmates to action so, of course, in this United States of America, she was cut off and is now being refused her diploma.
Her name is Leen Hijaz. Good for her.
