Wacky Beatles
Michael Foster has officially made the Beatles the one band that freaks me out whenever I listen to them.
Apparently, back in 1969 this whole conspiracy was set up that Paul McCartney died in a car crash on a Wednesday morning at 5AM, and that every album afterwards he was replaced by a man who had recently won a "Paul McCartney Look-alike" Contest named William Campbell (Aka Billy Shears) but they kept referring to him as Paul because they didnt want the average fans to freak out. They also never officially announced that he infact won the contest at the time. However George, John, and Ringo left fucked up clues and hidden messages throughout the album covers and lyrics leading those die-hard fans to find out about the death of Paul McCartney. For instance:
- If you play the track "Revolution 9" (the White Album) backwards, you can hear a fucking car crash, followed by the sparks of flame and a man screaming for help. Also, throughout the song there are hidden messages in the lyrics.
- On the Abbey Road cover, Paul is out of step from the others, as well as being barefoot, while the others are dressed in symbolic clothings of mourning. Theres also a liscence plate which reads "28 IF" meaning if Paul were alive he would be 28?
- He is dressed as the walrus (symbolic in many countries as the symbol of death) on the Magical Mystery Tour cover, which also reveals a phone number when read in a mirror and back in the sixties if it was dialed a eeire voice would answer saying "You are getting closer..." Also on that album is a hidden message at the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever" in which you can hear "...I buried Paul" at the end. Conviniently enough, he was buried in a cemetary on fucking Penny Lane with Father McKenzie.
- In the song "Glass Onion" Lennon flat out tells everyone "And here's another clue for you all/The Walrus was Paul."
- In "With A Little Help From My Friends" they start the song by yelling "BILLY SHEARS" which is a play on "Billy's Here" which basically introduces the world to William Campbell. That song is off of Sgt. Peppers, which on the album cover we see "McCartney" with a mustache for the first time, which covers up a scar William Campbell has, as well as having him hold a black instrument, wear a jacket with the initials "OPD" (canadian for Officially Pronounced Dead), and someone holding a hand over his head, yet another symbol of death.
This image is a cleaned up version for the american release, however:
Theres tons of other clues in the lyrics as well as a few more fucked up images and some more hidden phone numbers throughout the Abbey Road, Revolver, White Album, Magical Mystery Tour albums. Of course, some people say it is all a hoax, and others say it could be symbolic of Paul's "rebirth" to a new religion, or maybe the Beatles JUST REALLY WANTED TO FUCK WITH MY HEAD!!!!
Either way...its working.
