The 'Paul is dead' myth | Page 47 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

Yes I saw “Paul McCartney Really Is Dead…” . And I linked it in comments here, but in case anyone missed it and cares, I even kind of “live blogged” as I was watching it. I have the video linked there too, still works if you want to see it and laugh. 

My blog post: https://hippie-chick.livejourn…..84595.html

I also “live blogged” one called “The Winged Beatle”. The video is also linked there and still watchable. These are fun if nothing else. LOL

“The Winged Beatle”: https://hippie-chick.livejourn…..84429.html

So check those out for my thoughts as it happened, so to speak. 

@The Hippie Chick: thanks for the links. I couldn’t see the first one,as a log in screen appeared,but I read the 2nd one. I’ve watched the Winged Beatle a number of times. The whole thing fascinates me. It’s crazy. I picked up on the Derek Taylor thing too. He says he’s not aware of the death symbolisms etc,but then agrees with the guy that there’s a grave scene on Pepper. Hmmmm….

In my opinion, someone with very close links to Apple/the Beatles made that video. I’ve even read that Paul himself made it, and that he is ‘Iamaphoney’,along with Ian Iachimoe,The Fireman,Percy Thrillington etc. The whole thing is just weird. 

I also agree with what you said about the Your Mother Should Know picture on my post above. How could they run out of red flowers? Surely, whoever was in charge knew that there were 4 Beatles lol. 

I was ‘PID’ YouTube surfing earlier (obsessed much?) and I came across a series of videos called Sheeple. There’s no sound,video etc, it’s just pics and writing. One of these videos said that Stella is Jane Asher’s daughter, and that Mary and Nancy Shevell look like twins. Some crazy stuff going round, I know that for sure. Here’s an example of one of these videos:

@Pineapple Records: this one is better. There’s no video on the previous one :

Not much to add to what Ron Nasty had to say. The whole thing is a drag. There’s one thing I do want to address, though, before I go back into hiding…

Re: black flowers and stuff: John answered that question in one of his many interviews. To paraphrase: ‘Paul did this thing where he’d look almost straight, but he’d have one ear painted blue’. He goes on to give examples of how they each would pull stunts to see if anyone noticed, such like wear a plastic bag over one shoe, or just some random silly thing to stand out.

And when you pay attention, you see that they did indeed each have those moments where they did something different. Be it George wearing a polo neck (turtleneck to you Yanks) before the others, Ringo’s hair being longer, John suddenly wearing his glasses, et cetera. There’s a long list of examples if you look for them.

Paul, it would seem, always had the most obvious tendency to stand out. Everyone looks away from the camera? Paul looks straight at it. Everyone is slouching? He’s standing up straight. Let’s face it: he’s always been an attention whore… So, with that in mind, it starts to make perfect sense that he’d distinguish himself by wearing an unusual flower, or taking his shoes off, or doing whatever he did just to make people notice him. It’s not his best trait but that’s just Paul. Like Mary said: ‘sometimes dad just needs the adulation’.

Good post. I’m not a believer in PID,but it does fascinate me, it’s weird to explain. 

Just on what you said about Paul taking his shoes off: one thing that always bugged me about that (and again, I don’t believe he’s dead) is his reason for doing it. The Winged Beatle video mentioned in @the-hippie-chicks post above has a clip in it where Paul is being interviewed,(I think by Letterman,I could be wrong)in which he says that the reason he took his flip flops off was because it was a hot day. I remember the first time I watched that clip, I had to rewind that part, just to be sure I didn’t mishear him. Surely,with it being so hot,that alone would have been a reason to keep them on? Wouldn’t his bare feet burn on the tarmac? If he’d said something like “I took them off because I thought it was a quirky thing to do, and I thought it’d look good for the cover shot” I’d have bought that explanation. But he didn’t. His explanation, and justification for doing it,just sounded weak to me.

But,on the other hand,he probably knew that it would give people something to talk about, and as you said,it was a way of getting him noticed by people

One thing I always liked was the Magical Mystery Tour cover, and the whole ‘who was the walrus’ thing. The guy top right (I think it’s Ringo) is wearing John’s granny glasses. John would have probably loved messing with people like that, especially because he was probably fed up at answering stuff on PID,so, like later on with Glass Onion ,he threw little clues like that out.

@Pineapple Records yeah,I posted that 2nd video so you could compare his mannerisms etc from the ‘Pepper’ era Paul video at the top. This video went a bit grainy though,which is a shame. 

@The-Hippie-Chick: thanks, I’ll have a look now.

As for the Sheeple videos: yeah, they’re a bit strange to say the least. The video I posted is typical of the rest of the Sheeple videos from what I can gather. A lot of random strange stuff,but interesting nonetheless 

@The Hippie Chick: my previous @ didn’t work, hopefully this one does :

That was a good read. I agree totally on the narrator of the film not being George,he sounds nothing like him. 

Just on Pepper: you’re right. The guy with raised hand is Issy Bonn (Crane is right behind Bonn’s hand,but visible). Did you also hear about Paul’s school rugby trophy,seen between the L and E letters in the red BEATLES? Apparently,the rugby trophy looks like a letter I,which would make BEATLES read BEATLIES,which has a double meaning (lies as in keeping the death secret, and lies as in Paul’s body lies in the ground: which would fit with the yellow guitar in flowers at the bottom,so it would read BEATLIES Paul?)

P.S. the MMT cover isn’t much of a mystery at all. It’s Paul on the left. You can tell by the black trousers and the fact that his watch is on his right wrist. George is in the middle, Ringo on the right (orange trousers), and it’s John in the walrus suit. I heard it said recently that the walrus supposedly is a death symbol in some cultures (they mentioned Dutch culture as an example). Well, I am Dutch and NO F*****G WAY is the walrus a symbol of anything here. It isn’t a death symbol anywhere! But, as we established before, PID is never deterred by that. It’s true because they say it is, and that’s enough for them…
