moothemagiccow: i find it hard to believe that people arent getting dumber

I find it hard to believe that such a thing is even possible.
Nevertheless, the evidence supports that conclusion.

I prefer to believe that the real Paul died and that the shiatty music we got during the Wings days was done by a doppleganger.

Cranberry sauce!

Gilbert says you can find evidence of Paul McCartney's death littered throughout the Beatles extensive body of work.

"Take a look at the cover of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. That scene is essentially a funeral for Paul McCartney. If you look at the lyrics at that time, they say 'he died at five o'clock on a Wednesday morning. We had a pool of tears,'" Gilbert said.

A mere coincidence according to the Fab Four. Well? What do you think?

I know that the Beatles found the rumors amusing and that they encouraged it with little red herrings because it drove the nuts even crazier.

Good golly, what a waste of electrons.

It would have been a lot of fun if Nirvana had given us a fake Kurt Cobain.

No, he just smells that way

The filmmaker says the man we've celebrated the past 44 years is a guy named William Campbell, who was discovered during a secret Paul McCartney look-alike contest staged by Dick Clark's American Bandstand.

Oh, come the fark on. You aren't even trying.

Paul was killed because he was going to reveal who really shot JFK.

FishyFred: I know that the Beatles found the rumors amusing and that they encouraged it with little red herrings because it drove the nuts even crazier.

And they even came out and SAID THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DOING!

And still people didn't believe them.

LewDux: In related news John Lennon is alive and still "practicing" (new window)

I prefer the Jagz Kooner remix

Kind of like when I was watching a Top Gear episode from 2005 last night and caugt Clarkson using the phrase " A Stig"
Makes me wonder if that was a slip or planned or what. Now I want to go back and see how many other times he said that.

FredaDeStilleto: ertznay: I prefer to believe that the real Paul died and that the shiatty music we got during the Wings days was done by a doppleganger.

It still blows anything done by the Plastic Ono Band out of the water.

McCartney was/is an entertainer. Lennon was the artist.

Please. McCartney is just as much of an artist as Lennon. Paul just uses a different palette. And make no mistake Lennon released a lot of shiatty music as a solo artist, too.

It's just plain stupid to pit one against the other.

Maybe I'm slow, but how do you stage a secret contest on broadcast television?

My theory is that Paul faked his own death because he was tired of touring and of being unable to have any kind of normal life. EMI was terrified by the prospective cost of losing the Beatles so they blackmailed Paul into returning and then covered up the fake death. They also paid rogue MI5 agents to kill Brian Epstein to stop him from revealing the truth. John then started the "Paul is dead" hoax in revenge, using details from the fake death, to screw with the authorities. The Beatles scattered clues to this whole story if you know how to read them. For example, Paul is barefoot on the cover of Abbey Road to symbolize his resistance to participating in the album.

My documentary will be coming out next month.

You're mostly right, except that he was not really tired of touring. Instead, Paul faked his death because he wanted to go underground and help Gandhi (who has also faked his own death) bust up a heroin smuggling ring for Interpol.


It's no coincidence that Ben Kingsley (who played Gandhi in the movie Gandhi) and Gene Hackman (who played the actual Gandhi-A.K.A. "Popeye" Doyle in The French Connection) both have a Bacon Number of 2.

Hackman was in Welcome to Mooseport with Deborah Grover who was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon, while Kingsley was in The Love Guru (get it?) with Sean Cullen who was also in... yeah, you guessed it, Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon.

Where the truth LIES. Get it? It's so obvious! It's a typical Masonic in-joke. They like to hide the clues in plain sight. It's a play on words- the "lie" of the fake deaths coupled with the "lying" of a body in the grave is a clear indication that Gandhi and McCartney were both sources of truth who had to be silenced- not actually killed, but recruited and turned into agents of the Illuminati.

Obviously.

TheHopeDiamond: E burres stigano!

If you sing the title of "Sgt. Rutter's Only Darts Club Band" backwards it sounds uncannily like "dnab bulc strad ylno srettur tnaegres."

Your particular brand of crazy is pretty epic.

You may scoff, but I learned from my guru, the Great Prophet Lester. He is truly wise.

shoegaze99: I wonder if the "Ancient Aliens" people believe this, too. The logic is about the same.

Paul is buried in a sound stage in Utah?
