The 'Paul McCartney is dead' phenomenon

[Harlekin]

I love the 'Paul is dead' theory. So zany and yet so creepy.

 

[Motown Marvel]

that backmasking at the end of 'im so tired' is the creepiest of 'clues'. while this is obviously a hoax, how much involvement do you think came from the beatles themselves? and why the hoax?

Some people have brought up that John denied any involvement, and John wasn't one to lie or sugarcoat... he admitted that they were saying "tit" in Girl, for instance, and John wasn't one to maintain the myth of the Beatles after it was over, so I can't really see him keeping it a secret. On the other hand, this all came to light shortly after the Manson killings, so admitting that there were ANY hidden messages in Beatles songs would have been EXTREMELY bad publicity.

He wasn't too squeamish about bad publicity either. Though, if it could be twisted to implicate him in the murder of a coffee-heiress...lol

 

[Topdawg]

this is creepy, His face does look different now than from back then.
and also his height!

People get old...

[Topdawg]

But his face had even changed between the Butcher Cover and Sgt. Pepper. That's like... a year.

 

[Topdawg]

But why replace him?

I must google this post haste

 

[JLBats]

But why replace him?

Because he had died in a car crash (some say an accidental one, some say a car crash caused by the KKK in retribution for the "Bigger than Jesus" comments) and the marketting people weren't about to lose the Beatles money intake.

Frankly, the motivations for it don't make a whole hell of a lot of sense.

 

[The Chairman]

This is all very confusing. I don't know what to believe. Is Paul really dead? If so, how did he really die? Who are The Beatles again?

No, Paul isn't really dead, though some people think he is.
Most believers say in a car crash.
A band.

 

[Mee]

More like, greatest band evah.

 

[Kmack]

I still don't fully understand the whole thing. I've heard so many bull$h!t theories.

Abigail Folger, Manson family victim. At least, I think that's who he's talking about

That's pretty much what it is. A bunch of crazy theories, none true.

Thank you for clearing this up for me. You will forever be in my debt.

There are so many conflicting versions that it's hard to get down to the gist of it. The essentials:

Paul died late in 1966, in a car crash.
He was replaced by a lookalike who underwent surgery to look more like the real Paul.
They placed hidden messages in the songs to tip off the public.

Don't forget that Paul was barefoot on the cover of Abbey Road. In Britain, they bury people barefoot.

I'm not going to go into any of the clues here. Just the essentials.
