The Paul McCartney Is Dead Conspiracy

I heard some guy blurt out that Paul McCartney is dead and actually died in the 60s, and that the real Paul McCartney was replaced by a man named William Shears Campbell. Some people like to write these things off as myths or conspiracies. (Such as HIV and Ebola being man-made viruses, which there may be actual validity to that.)
 
This was before I was born, but I find this to be an interesting topic. Interested in hearing the perspective of people who were actually around at the time.

Yep, it's true.
 
They replaced him with his exact double, who immediately learned to play bass left handed, sang exactly the same, and wrote songs in the same style. Brilliant really.

Oh no.  Not again.
 
Bingo James.  Plus....none of the other Beatles happen to notice.  Like....you were going to silence John.

Brilliant marketing strategy however.....playing all of the records backwards and such.  Probably not planned, but certainly left to play into.

I think Paul died soon after leaving the Beatles.  At least his musical output seems to prove it . . . .
 
There are a few books written on the subject. most notable among them is "Turn Me on Dead Man" by Andru Reeve.  It's an good read and he provides an interesting "solution" to the whole thing.
 
Also, for a very weird listen go to youtube and search "The Ballad of Paul" by The Mystery Tour.
 
Of course it's a lot of bunk; but it was fun at the time!!

My last shameless plug is dead.
 
It will be replaced by an exact double.
 
Only paulo will notice the subtle difference

I really feel I need to chime in here. In all actuality the "real" Paul couldn't do any of those things and their shows were really starting to flop almost immediately so they had to replace him with a stunt double who could. Desperate measures required desperate times, or some such drivel like that.
 
He never really "died" literally, just in a matter of speaking since the adoring public would never ever actually see him on stage again.   Ever.... as in.... for the rest of his live-long-days, would he ever see the light of stage again. Some mistook this to mean "the light of day"... but he has seen that a time or two, if only two, as he spent most of the 60s and some of the 70s in a Mexican prison without any contact with the outside world, or the inside one for that matter... so I guess he might as well have been dead, or at least wished he was during the whole ordeal.
 
It wasn't until Davey Jones launched a massive campaign to find him did the world finally find out about the plot. Most of this is still classified by the "Blockade to the Freedom For Information Act", so I really can't divulge any more details than that. In fact, I may have divulged too much already..... (pauses to buy plane ticket and phony passport to Russia).

Paul once gave Heather a new artificial leg at Christmas.
 
It wasn't her main present though, just a stocking filler.

I heard a couple of guys talking about her once, and one of them asked "what is her name?" and the other thought for a split second then replied with complete confidence "Stumpy the Gold Digger".

When I was a youngster I went through all the clues for fun. The "cranberry sauce/I buried paul" is pretty fun. The design on the kick drum on the Walrus video is another crucial insight apparently.
 
One thing that I have read in legitimate books is that Paul drops the f bomb in Hey Jude just before the 3 minute mark. Some kind of spill that got picked up by the mics and was buried deep in the mix. I tried to hear that one but I couldn't- maybe they cut it out when it was remastered to CD (the first remaster, not the mono remaster or the subsequent stereo remaster or any other of the bullsh!t remasters they put out at the drop of a hat.)

One of the craziest theories stated that, approximately 40 years from now, a prototype time machine will be stolen by an elderly Vanilla Ice. (In his defense, he later said that he made a wrong turn at the buffet line at the Senior Center and accidentally ended up in the sub-basement of the university's physics lab. While this claim has the ring of plausibility, not everyone is convinced.) The former rapper turned health and fitness promoter (Thighs, Thighs, Baby), did what any self-respecting senior citizen would do when faced with incomprehensible technology. He hit buttons at random and shouted for his wife to come fix the remote. His efforts to find Wheel of Fortune on the TV resulted in an unscheduled launch of the untested pod into December 14, 2014 at 3:30 PM, where it crushed the hood of an overpriced sports car. The car, of course, was owned by Justin Bieber, who had a screaming meldown until he realized that there were no cameras present. Seeing the time, Mr. Ice took a cab back to the Senior Center to claim the good recliner in the lounge before the second hour of Wheel of Fortune. Without a shiny ride to pose with, an overly curious Bieber climbed into the pod. Justin did what any self-respecting young person would do when faced with advanced, cutting edge technology from the future. He hit buttons at random and tried to take a selfie. Unfortunately, the frustrated Bieber ended up hurtling into November 9, 1966 shortly after 5AM, where the pod crushed a beautiful Austin Healey. The car had been driven by a now deceased and rather messy Paul McCartney. George Martin arrived on the scene shortly afterward and nearly ran into Mr. Bieber, who was busy trying to get rescue workers to take his picture. Recognizing Justin's star quality, Mr. Martin shot him with a tranquilizer dart and stuffed him into the boot of his car. (This was a common technique for transporting rock stars at that time.) Once ensconced in a janitor's closet at Abbey Road studio, a team of top makeup artists transformed Justin Beiber into Paul McCartney. It took some time for Justin to come to terms with his new life. In an effort to successfully imitate Paul's British accent, Justin watched Mary Poppins 800 times in George's private screening room. Justin (a.k.a. Paul) privately marveled at the idea that as long as the public believed he really was Paul McCartney, they would actually like him. Meanwhile, the BBC acquired the time pod from the wreckage and sent in a crack team of researchers to figure out how to use it to increase revenue. After a great deal of deliberation and watercress sandwiches, they painted it blue and sent it back in time to November of 1963 to be used as a prop on Dr. Who. Vanilla Ice was never seen again. (We hope)

If you believe that, you'd probably also like to know that Brittany Spears will someday become Yoko Ono shortly after the release of the White album. 
 
I know. That one's a little obvious.
