This is a fun thread!! HA! Okay. So Paul is dead. We could go on and on. But these people that look for crazy clues? I mean i could find a bunch that i just make up. like this a-hard-days-night-paul-6. “Could it be that he is looking to the heavens about to be carried away. Or oh. paul has a huge beard in let it be cuz he died and cant shave anymore. So paul is dead is super duper fun! a-hard-days-night-george-9 I mean I always heard that the beatles did alll that to start an urban legend. And that website posted earlier was Fun to read. But honestly. It's ridicuous.

 

If I toook a trip to LA and saw Paul I would run up and scream “Your Alive!” And Hug him. And then ask him interogation style ” Who are you?!?! Should I call you Paul? Or William Campbell?!?!” ” you can't handle the truth!”a-hard-days-night-paul-3

Paul McCartney = PM = Post Mortem.

Yup, he's dead alright.

What's that? His first name is James?

Yup, he's alive alright.

i know this is all fake, but i really want 2 see the movie Paul Really Is Dead: The Last Testament of Geroge Harrison. the preview makes it look really interesting, but the accent is as about as fake as paul's death

Seriously, don't bother. I have a copy. I'll never get that hour of my life back.

I meant to write a review of it but it was so bad I couldn't summon up the will to do it. Needless to say, there's nothing of substance or truthfulness in it, just a string of wild claims that amount to nothing.

Wouldn't that end up with your assassination? I don't believe in it; I think it's a bunch of crap.

If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

Haha, thank you Mrs. Mustard! That was what I meant by my “Not everyone, surely?” post upthread. I was too subtle, I guess…

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Dont you guys think that if Paul McCartney Really did die that the beatles would have done all that stuff with the clues. John does like that kind of word play and stuff but he does have a heart and wouldnt have done that if paul really died!!! And if Paul really did die and was replaced by William Campbell then wouldnt the government already have killed William Campbell by now?a-hard-days-night-paul-4

The only way to disprove this myth is to either A) Put both of them in the same room or B) have some common sense.

Sept 17th 1969, 
Media on both sides of the Atlantic were running stories that said Paul McCartney was dead. He was supposedly killed in a car accident in Scotland on November 9th, 1966 and that a double had been taking his place for public appearances. In fact, Paul and his girlfriend Jane Asher were on vacation in Kenya at the time.

Looks like a cool website – thanks for sharing the link.

I couldn't help but notice the next entry on that day in history in 1976 involved The Sex Pistols. I was into their music when I was in High School – don't ask me why, but I loved their music. Every once in a while I blow the dust off of the Never Mind the Bollocks album and give it a listen – good stuff.

No need to defend yourself! Bollocks is eternal.

Thanks Von!

I don't know if you get VH1 Classic on your cable or satellite TV, but they actually ran a “Classic Albums” episode about it.  It was pretty cool.

The whole Paul is Dead thing really makes me giggle. a-hard-days-night-george-6

I mean, what are the chances of being able to find an exact double of Paul McCartney , with the ability to play left handed and  – most importantly – sing exactly like him? The whole thing is just so awfully far fetched that I do end up laughing at it every time I research it.

People have said that they noticed Paul's voice changing around '66, and added that to the endless list of clues. Paul's voice certainly did become a little different, but Rome wasn't built in a day, and his voice didn't change in a small time frame either. Years of wear and tear on his voice, and singing from his throat did do some damage, and added a more rough tone to his voice in the upper range, but when you consider the amount of screaming he did… I'm surprised his larynx didn't just shrivel. a-hard-days-night-paul-1

 

As to the visual clues – meh. I don't believe them, and people have tried their level best to make me, but it doesn't ever work. I suppose it's a personal thing. (I was going to add “like believing in Jesus” to that, but John Lennon taught me a valuable lesson there). As far as I'm concerned, John was saying “cranberry sauce”, and Paul was turned around on the rear side of Sgt. Pepper 's because he wanted to show off his lovely behind. a-hard-days-night-john-6

Good point Paulie. I have a friend who's a serious researcher of UFOs and all that stuff, and he has shown me pics and videos of “sightings” and it's amazing all the stuff the people believe it's true. He tells me “People promote this because it's a business, and if there are people there willing to listen, these rumors will always find an audience”.

 

So I guess it's a business for someone to claim Paul is dead. a-hard-days-night-paul-1

To claim Paul McCartney Died in 1966 is to say the Beatles Didn’t record the albums that made them famous
It’s a lie

So I was searching on netflix today and found this movie. I have feelings about this but I really want to know what the rest of you think of it. 

Note by Ahhh Girl: posts 80-118 were a separate thread and were merged into this one on 4 May 2014.

If you are talking about the movie: 'Paul McCartney Really Is Dead! (The Last Testament Of George Harrison ?) This movie is nothing but rubbish.

I would not waste my time with this. When I was in High School back in the early 70's, I did a presentation of all the clues on the Beatles album covers and in the songs. That was interesting. This movie takes things a little too far. I used to tell all my friends that if Paul died in 1966 and was replaced by an impostor, then the impostor is more talented. 

There are so many other DVD's out there that you would enjoy more. I would not waste my time.

 

The further one travels, the less one knows

Yep, that's the one. I had read it was ridiculous but a good movie all the same. I agree with you though. I couldn't even get past the first 30 min of it. I've never felt negatively while looking at Beatles montages.
