I've been playing a ton of RB: Beatles lately, and last night, I decided to look up some things about the Beatles. Eventually, I came across the whole "Paul McCartney is dead, and he has a replacement" conspiracy theory. After reading/hearing everything I could find about it, I came to this conclusion: Either Paul really is dead, or the Beatles made the coolest mystery I've ever seen. What's your take on all this? You got to admit, some of the evidence is quite peculiar.

I read through the conspiracy a couple of months ago and thought it was just that a silly conspiracy theory made up by some crazy or bored people. The evidence did not seem compelling at all.
It was a lot more fun 35 - 40 years ago when there was no internet and you had to spin things backwards manually on an LP.

There is a card in the original Star Trek trading card game that has "daed si luaP" printed on the black boarder in white letters. its really kinda funny this whole theory.

I still want to get around to doing that, but I have no record player.
It's just a stupid hoax, nothing more, nothing less. Some people have insane imaginations...
A couple friends of mine were taught video technology in high school by the DJ that fielded the original 'Paul is Dead' call and used it as an on air joke, which spun the whole conspiracy thing off. Mr. Gibb was pretty freaking awesome... he supplied the school with av equipment out of his own pocket, and never cared if people smoked pot in class.
1 ONE 1 X HE /\ DIE
RockMuncher:he never cared if people smoked pot in class.
I don't know much about this one, but like any conspiricy theory, I'm sure it sounds good while someone is explaining it but falls apart when even the slightest bit of scrutiny is applied.
The Beatles should have never gotten rid of Clarence.
It'll be pretty ironic if Ringo goes first and Paul is the only one who ISN'T dead for a while.
there is a rumor that Marilyn Monoe had six toes on one foot, but that is a pretty stupid rumor b/c anyone can check all her photos pretty quickly and see it's false. it was on Bones of all places this week.
The whole Paul is Dead thing used to scare the crap out of me when I was little, especially the ghostly hands on the White Album.
Now I just find it cool.

Assuming this was early 70's at latest, there were still a number of folks who thought that crap beneficial for 'opening the mind' in a positive way rather than impairing judgment and killing brain cells. We have known for decades that those who thought they were 'visionaries' were really idiotic dope-fiends often molesting young girls under the influence and playing with experimental substances to the detriment of their malleable students.

RockMuncher is 26 so unless she can travel back in time then this was not in the early 70's.
