Yes, I’m convinced these are a mix of coincidence and fun on the lads’ behalf after they discovered the joys of playing tapes backwards.

Maybe Paul faked his own death but didn’t tell the others and instead leaves clues every now to try and get people to find him. Kind of like a huge game of Where’s Wally that is still going on.

I’ve walked barefoot on the road without sandals and it can be remarkably relaxing if its a hot day, and Paul only took them off for a short period – plus they had been out for a while in the heat. I’m always taking my sandals off in the summer when out and about.

You can only get away with this in the UK unless you have been barefoot for life and have feet like leather. You would fry your skin off in second on a hot road here.

Well, Paul said in the interview it was hot, hence taking his jacket off – if that is reliable.

Well without documented and vetted scientific proof that the temperature was sufficiently cool enough for Paul to remove his sandals and walk across Abbey Road without scorching the flesh off the bottom of his feet…

…we’ll just have to assume he’s dead.

Maybe Paul was never alive and the Beatles and this forum are all Ahhh Girl’s hallucination since she really in a white padded room and created us because she is lonly and whats to do something  other than stare at a white padded wall.

What do people get out of believing the PID myth? What turns them on about it? Do they think they are “helping” the Paul they think is dead? Or do they just spout the myth off hoping to irritate people?

Did Jim McCartney form a secret society like the Knights Templar whose mission is to find out what happened to his son? Is it members of that secret society who stop by here every once in a while to say hi and remind us of their mission?

ahdn_paul_06 It could be they don’t trust the ‘man’ and they are in the pursuit of truth and are trying to get justice for Paul.

I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but it did sort of make me curious, so I looked it up: apparently the temperature on that day in London (8/8/69) topped out at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Just warm enough to walk on the road barefoot, not too warm to burn your toes off in the process.

Aren’t we all? Especially if you deny being part of it – denying it means that you definitely are.

Some of the “clues” ARE coincidence, others were planted by the Beatles themselves as a joke. 

I agree that they must have know about/been involved with some.. I just wonder why they won’t just finally say.. it was a joke people… or maybe it did and still does sell records??

There has been some good research done on all the clues.. but then it usually devolves into people saying your dumb if you don’t believe Paul is really dead. as to why people are interested in it.. i think it is as intriguing an issue as any to do with the beatles… because it was pretty elaborate and after all this time still no answers

Thank you for finding this uni. Do they need a head librarian? I’d like to apply.

Why would they need to come out and say it when it is patently obvious to anyone with a shred of sanity that Paul is not dead?

I can’t see how any of the clues were actually planted by The Beatles, since the rumor didn’t really start up until the fall of 1969, when The Beatles had finished their last album and were in the process of breaking up.

I always used to think that John’s line in “Glass Onion ” — “here’s another clue for you all, the walrus was Paul” — was part of this, until I found out how late the rumor started, and that it was after John had written/recorded that song.

Not a bit like Cagney.
