I've got Paul in my death pool for the year, just on a hunch. Good news for me here I guess.

eqtworld: When he was young he trolled the would world pretending to be dead.

When I read this post, it was accompanied with a chorus of "You know he did / You know he did / You know he di-id" in my head.

That "William Shears Campbell" website (new window) is fascinating. If it weren't such a big shock to believe that Paul really did die, then the site would've convinced me with its methodical, intelligent argument. If I were on a jury I would have to agree with his argument.

Could someone explain the joke to those of us that missed most of the Beatles era? (my parents were 40's/50's children, and i'm an 80's/90's child.. so i kinda missed the 60's/70's.)

3:58 into the song (new window)

It's hard to imagine a world, anymore, of stoned wish-they-could-be-Farkers without an internet or any way to really talk to each other, so a long time ago, in the 1960s, people took lots of drugs and made up weird conspiracy theories about mumbles and oddball pictures on album covers.

Lennon's rambling "Cranberry sauce" at the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever" still hasn't convinced some people he didn't bury Paul.

 
Glenechocreek 2008-01-03 06:41:15 AM  
They really did sing "rich fag jew" over "rich man, too", in reference to their manager, Brian Epstein. John was a naughty boy sometimes.

The "Paul Is Dead" hoax caused their sagging record sales to soar yet again. Yes, the smoking joker does indeed laugh at you.

Oh really? What "sagging records sales" might you be referring to, back in 1969?

Their sales dropped off after the Guitar Gods like Jimi and Clapton arrived. Pop music was somewhat on the wane.

Isn't McCartney a big time vegetarian? How come he has blockages usually associated with fatty foods? hmmmmmm?

-He's been Vegetarian since the 60's. His first wife Linda even started a line of organic vegetarian meals. She died of cancer.

-Draw your own conclusions.

Well, in 1966 their sales took a hit from John's "We're bigger than Jesus" quote. Only for a year or two though.
The "clues" supposedly start around 1966 or 1967 with the "Revolver" or "Sgt. pepper's" albums. If it WAS all just a marketing ploy to boost sales, then that statement (create Paul Is Dead to boost record sales") would kind of make sense, despite the fact that the Beatles claimed that they thought it was nonsense and had nothing to do with it (I assume they made a similar statement).
