bouche Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 One of the craziest conspiracies to ever hit the history of music, the "Paul is Dead" story, seems to be a bit of an obsession for some people. If you thought you heard it all, concerning that whole thing, think again and check this site out! There are a bunch of animated gifs that the site uses as undeniable proof that the McCartney living today is not the same McCartney that starred in a Hard Days Night.

TonyRage Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 I don't know if I buy this site. When you make different faces, the shape of your face changes. Plus, as you age, you change.... That being said, I feel that Paul is Dead is more of a metaphor. I think Paul McCartney was either kidnapped by aliens, or a goverment and brain washed, or had some traumatizing experience that changed him from the fun-loving, goofy, cute beatle, to the money-hungry, fame-seeking, promotion-driven and generally scary person we now have amongst us. Or Paul was killed and replaced by the studio with a surgically prepared double who would push the beatles into a more of a cash-cow type of role. John new this but was under threat of death if he revealed the truth...eventually, he couldn't keep up the lie but tipped off by an unknown watcher agent and murdered by a "crazed fan". MTC, keep it real... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B & Z Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 ..also...have you seen the latest about John Lennon? There's a new book out (sorry-no info, I think I read an excerpt in UNcut mag) that claims he was a staunch jew-hating neo-Nazi, formed from his years & contacts in Hamburg!! Kinda strange considering their relationship with Brian Epstein! Also the bit about Chapman as the stimuli-trained assassin (CIA, ZOD you name it) is too much!

bouche Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I remember some consipiracy theories on Lennon's death from years back. Something about him funding communist groups...yada yada yada. I'm sure there are a few sites out there with some of that story. Although, I haven't heard of that book yet.

B & Z Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Hey Ms.Hux...hope your feeling much better now! I was asking HUX-Guru man (Geoff) about your well-being at the Pagan Picnic.....no more Humpty-Dumpty impressions, ok? I saw a clip once where JL said he's had so much anger in him that's why he was railing on so much about peace! He's one of those truly amazing people who have shaped our collective consciousness.... It was really sad when he died... a lot of people were saying he "deserved to be shot". Can you believe it? What really pissed off the older gen was the "Two Virgins" lp cover and the dope! He really touched a nerve, one way or another.. Paul greatness is sometimes overshadowed by JL's legacy...he's done some pretty dark stuff and wrote the book on pop vocals....period... Impossible to substitute! Take Care N (B&Z) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 I'm reading Skywriting for Beginners by John Lennon right now. He sounds to me as though he was a pretty angry guy. I am really shocked by some of the things he has written. But to fund communism groups and neo-nazi stuff? There are so many theories as to why he was assasinated but I personally don't buy that. Paul is Paul. He knows too many stories in too much detail to be anyone but the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Back to the Paul is Dead myth... THere was a band that put out an album in the 70's called KLAATU. Apparantly, rumours surfaced that it was a STEALTH Lennon/Mccartney album. If any of the sound clips work, some of them are kind of freaky lennon and mccartney sounding. The arrangements are actually quite good too. I'm trying to find this stuff on Kazaa.

PalacePrincess Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 great beatles website: www.iamthebeatles.com don't let it's non-flashy, no-india-ink-shooting, porn-free (although there might be kittens on ther somewhere) layout fool you. it has TONS of interesting info. (the history behind the songs is especially great -- just click on any of the albums on the bottom left bar, it takes you into the track listing, lyrics and information about the recording & each song all at once.)

THere was a band that put out an album in the 70's called KLAATU. Apparantly, rumours surfaced that it was a STEALTH Lennon/Mccartney album. Canadian three-man band (from Toronto I think, but I'm not sure on that point). They were covered by The Carpenters: "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft." I wish I could remember the name of the Klaatu album with that song on it. It was a concept album, kinda nifty. I remember playing a few cuts from it back in my CFRC days.

arcane Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Whups, my bad. The album I was thinking of is "Hope," not the one with "Calling Occupants..." (which is "3:47 EST"). The other Klaatu song you might recognize is "Sub Rosa Subway," also from "3:47 EST." A few of you might know "A Million Miles Away" (from "Magenta Lane"). Anyway, I found a site with Klaatu Lyrics.

B & Z Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 One last thing about McCartney. His tasteful and melodic bass playing absolutely made the Beatles. Too bad he has basically sucked ever since. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
