The_Beatles — 13 years ago(August 09, 2012 09:34 PM)I get a kick at how serious some people take this and actually believe it. There are websites with so much stuff on them trying to prove that Paul had actually died. But the one thing that proves he didn't die, is John.
There was a time after they broke up that John was not happy with Paul. He was angry at him personally and jealous of Paul's success as a solo artist. There is no way he would have kept quiet about that not being the real Paul. It just wouldn't be in his nature.

I don't know. If it were true, I don't think jealousy would be enough for John to reveal the past. Revealing any hidden truth of the Beatles wouldn't only affect Paul's career but the rest of the Beatles (and their history). The same situation can be applied to a member and his/her respected organization.
The history of their future could have changed, if this was found to be true. They would ALL be seen as liars. Ringo Starr may have never been the conductor on the tv show, "Shining Time Station" etc etc.
For this reason - I don't see how we can argue, by looking at other situations such as jealousy amongst band members. Sometimes theories, whether true or not, are JUST interesting to read.

Yeah, I do agree on that one. I really don't know what to think about this 'conspiracy', it's not so much about the looks I focus on (that's hogwash to me, they look identical), but the messages in their music (backwards and forwards), and the clues in their artwork, especially Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Even when you listen to Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day in the Life, Glass Onion, Come Together and especially I'm So Tired (backwards at the end- Paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him) and take note of the lyrics, what's the deal there?
Not to mention when it was initially broadcast on the news.
There's so many things about this that beg so many questions. It could well have been a hoax for publicity, but also a MAJOR career killer if people did catch on (you never know what the reaction might have been), it could be all the drugs, but the evidence in their artwork and lyrics, and some back masking, is all too evident and bizarre.
Either case, I used to love them, but the whole Britpop scene and especially that god awful band
Oasis
kind of ruined them for me. -

By "them", Ceephax, may I assume you're referring to the Beatles? If so, I don't understand how that works. To me, it makes about as much sense as saying, "I used to love Shakespeare but that whole Victorian/Edwardian theatrical scene and especially that god-awful Shaw ruined him for me", or "I used to love Rodgers and Hammerstein but that whole later American musical scene and especially that god-awful Sondheim ruined them for me."
Can you please explain how Oasis ruined the Beatles for you?

The whole "PID" is a huge hoax. Paul did not die in 1966, he just had an accident with minor consequences, take a look here:

It needs to be pointed out that the 'hoax' had nothing to do with the Beatles. A university student in the US called up his local radio station and informed the DJ of some strange things they'd noticed (while they'd been sitting around idle and taking too many drugs) about some of the Beatles albums and songs. It blew up suddenly during October 1969 and turned into a fairly widespread event. But it's total garbage. How anyone can believe this tripe is beyond me. Let's just look at it logically for a second: Paul is one of the greatest musical minds in history, yeah? And so he dies and is replaced with not only an uncanny lookalike, but another of the greatest musical minds in history? It's so stupid that it makes me just want to weep for humanity.

Who also happens to be the greatest and most committed actor that ever lived, living the next fifty years of his life pretending to be another man. Even continuing a relationship with Jane Asher. What a guy.

Your statement is correct.I want give the explanationfurtherhistorically.
In 1968 after the huge success of Sgt Pepper albuman article from New York magazinelow budget artsy began to explore the album that Paul McCartney was DEAD.the Beatles were informed of it and various radio DJ of New York agree with the article or picking up the same type of cluesdecided on White Album, a Paul McCartney look a like contest and the winner was William Campbell the photo is inside on the posterPhoto of William Campbell is really Paul McCartney a high school photo of him, he had to wear glasses temporary. Abbey Road album the four walking on the street and their actions made fans concern where is Paul McCartney?John Lennon was busy with bed in with Yoko, Ringo Starr was in a movie, George Harrison had release a solo album but where was Paul McCartney, he discovered Mary Hopkins and had written Goodbye for her to sing.fans began to demand where is Paul? Life Magazine and NBC News anchorman Tom Brinkling had discovered Paul McCartney was officially alive and still with us, living in Scotland on his ranch taking care of sheep and lambs. Rumors spread about Paul's lip, Paul McCartney had to have plastic surgery when he was in mini motorcycle accident.His teeth had to be fixedmaybe even professionally replace, caps.This was not public known if you watch the video Rain, you see his tooth appears to be loose and upper lip swollen from the accident..he grew a mustache to cover the lip.1969 while making Let It Be, he grew a full beard and hairso the camera would not notice his scare of his lipToday no can rarely see it unless the camera has full close up on Sir Paul McCartney. -

Back in 1968-69, when everyone was making a fuss about Paul's rumored death, one of the rumors stemmed from the phrase at the very end of Strawberry Fields Forever, on the Magical Mystery Tour album. The phrase sounded like "I buried Paul."
straw16d0berry fields forever - I buried paul
In fact, according to John a little while later, he was really saying "Cranberry sauce." When John divulged this information, the rumor was killed and the gossip came to an end soon after.
