The "Paul is dead" theory sounds about THIS ridiculous.

  • This is a scene from "The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash" a parody authorized by the Beatles themselves around the late 1970s. If you don't know, some people, actually, too many people believe that Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced with a look-alike. Do you think this Beatles parody just about sums up the absurd theory?

JusticeFor JPMC has cut the beginning out of that where George mentions India.... oh wait why does George say 66? Lol

      Yes! A magician's trick is sleight of hand, mis-direction. They were magicians on Magical Mystery Tour. Notice that John changed his appearance every three days? Long hair, short hair, fluffy hair, stringy hair, mustache, then mutton chops, then a giant beard. That's so you never knew what he looked like. Then in the 70's when he quit music he always looked the same. And then there's Yoko... he 'met her in '66' - part of the deal for fake John was letting him dump Cyn and keep his current gf Yoko. Years later when he was going to spill the beans he was killed for it. Name of his last LP? "Double Fantasy". He was one of John's many doubles.

It turned out that the other members of the band had been killed in a plane crash, and band management, not wanting to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs; recruited three look and sound a-likes to replace them.

    As someone who was a teenager when the rumor came out, I feel I should add some context. Back then there was no Snopes or other places to check things out and rumors like this were spread mainly by word of mouth, with an occasional newspaper article. At the time the Beatles were going through lots of changes, their music style was changing, their appearance was changing (mustaches, etc), they stopped doing concerts, their manager Brian Epstein had died, and so on. The Sgt Pepper's cover was literally a funeral, they had many songs with hard-to-understand words ("Cranberry sauce"), backward lyrics, melancholy lyrics ("He blew his mind out in a car") and, of course, Revolution 9 with all kinds of sounds that could be interpreted in various ways (car crash, cries of pain, etc). The change in the group from just a few years earlier was huge. Add to that the Warren Commission had come out just a few years earlier and there were plenty JFK assassination conspiracy theories. Still, I don't know anyone who actually believed it, but it was a fun conversation starter with your peers. At the time, it probably made more sense than most of the conspiracy theories people believe today. Of course, I can't believe that any sensible person believed it after about 1971.

    There have been bad jokes, anti-Beatles jokes, and even bad, 'get off my lawn' anti-Beatles jokes ever since the Beatles music showed up in America around New Years 1964. It was spotty; not everyone was aware of them. But when they showed up on Ed Sullivan's show, EVERYONE knew about them. And there was a significant number who wanted everyone to "Forget about them Beatles, the Russians will be here any minute..." and go back to quivering in fear(about the USSR) and dismay(about the popular, handsome President that was murdered right in front of you."
    I always thought that the "Paul is Dead" stuff was a tasteless joke by some weirdo; the "Paul is Dead" stuff began floating to the top of the sewer water after Sgt Peppers. And even though he appeared on Live worldwide TV for "All You Need Is Love," there was more reports, which sounded like the same college fraternity phoning those reports in. It still sounds like BS.

    No, I don't believe it. There's no way that they cloned Paul and his clone is Billy. I always laughingly think of John Lennon's lyric 'Those freaks was right when they said you were dead' off of his Paul McCartney dis song, 'How Do You Sleep?' I mean, yes, in the song, Lennon is clearly mad at McCartney at the time. They made up later. But John is being sarcastic by calling the people who actually believed Paul was dead 'freaks.'😂 I think, during the time when they weren't getting along, John felt that Paul was 'dead to him' because of the way he felt but he definitely didn't think Paul was actually dead.

The young Paul is the same as the old Paul....I've seen the side by sides....it's him. The voice differences....let's be real....if I played endless singers from their youth compared to what they sound like many years later....there are differences. It's Paul.

Dick James had bought most of the composing rights for Northern Songs, Brian and J&P thought it was a good deal, little understanding how important the royalties were and obviously, not knowing how popular their music would continue to be. I think Paul only came to understand the importance of composing rights after he married Linda, when her father and brother convinced him to start buying song rights.

No my friends, there is no Faul or Billy Shears* or whatever that "copy's" name is, because Sir James Paul McCartney isn't dead, that was something someone put together in the 60’s in order to confuse people, just like with any conspiracy theory.
    Okay, Billy Shears was actually one of the Beatles. -Ringo Starr.
    "But Lenny, Paul's teeth! They look different from before!"

      Also like to add that even on the new music video for "Let it Be", you can still see the slight bulge in Paul's lip upper right (caused by the 1966 moped accident) which can be seen on Paperback writer/Rain promo. I've also watched the "get back" series and the new "let it be" docu, and clearly one can see the moles Paul had in his right cheek and the most visible one is on his neck. I got lots of photos of Paul before 1966 and he always got the same mole spot ever since.

Pepper you will something that looks like - I ONEI X HE DIE . Between the he die is a double arrow pointing up and down. Pointing up to Paul and down to the grave. It could be taken as the date of death Nov ember 9 or September 11. The person who is given credit for the design of the drum skin is Joe Ephgrave.

Supposedly, it's a tape recording of George, but the voice is a bad English accent that doesn't sound like George, doesn't even sound Liverpudlian. Also claimed that John actually composed some of "Paul's" songs as a tribute to Paul, such as 'Yesterday'.
