I was on some website and they were talking about the rumors of the infamous death of Paul McCartney. They said that on a Wednesday, he was in a car accident. Most of the Beatles' albums from 1966 to 1970 had lots of discoveries of the rumor. Remember that hoax?

Go to this website for more infomation:

It was a rumor back in 1960's. I really don't know if this is real. But I do believe when The Beatles went to Maharishi in 1967 or 1968, Paul had a spiritual rebirth meaning that his old self was dying. Just go 2 the website I mentioned 4 more details.

Hey, if Ringo happens to go first, wouldn't it make all those "Paul is dead" rumours back then really fucking ironic?

Wouldn't it be funny if Ringo Starr the least talented of the Beatles lived the longest? HA

Paul isn't dead. He just looks like he is. He dyes his hair and has man boobies.

Beatle Boobs!!!!!

there's also an interesting book out on the subject, called: The Walrus Was Paul by R. Gary Patterson

yeah, this was a big load of horseshit from decades ago.

quite amusing.

conspiracy theories are great, aren't they?

Yeah, I have this. It is a great read. I love that myth. It's one of the most thought out, well researched and well executed plans ever! This carried over into albums, pictures, songs. Hidden messages everywhere. This had never been done before by a band or artist. And anything that was done after, by whomever it may be, Pink Floyd doing a soundtrack to The Wizard Of Oz, birthing Dark Side Of The Moon, or whatever, they got the perception from The Beatles. The "anything is possible" attitude. The Beatles set that in motion. Because of this, The Beatles were the greatest band, ever.

Any band that has a no talent like Ringo Starr in it can't be the greatest band. There were bands that could sing better and that were better live bands.

If u read the line, which is crucial to my point, "Because of this...".

When I was like 14 I heard a documentary on thr radio about this..... It is weird, coz some details are kinda strange...

I mean the backwards message before Blackbird, play it back, and you hear John say, Paul is dead, I miss him, miss him, miss him!

Or revolution number 9 backwards: " Turn me on dead man "

There are soooo many clues, but still this story seem unreal to me, more like a publicity stunt or something,... but it is kinda mysterious!

Your reason for them being the greatest band is lame. Took no genius to make a rumor. Just silly games for gullible fans.
