Is the real Paul McCartney dead? #CCT9
<!PAUL IS DEAD!>
Paul McCartney
never wrote "Maybe I'm Amazed." He never formed the band Wings. He
never clashed with Yoko, became a vegetarian, or fathered any of his children.
When Queen Elizabeth knighted him in 1997, she was actually knighting someone
else. This is because, conspiracy-minded Beatle maniacs say, Paul McCartney
secretly died in 1966. Theorists claim the other Beatles covered up his death —
hiring someone who looked like him, sang like him, and had the same jovial
personality. But the guilt eventually got to them and they began hiding clues
in their music. In the song "Taxman," George Harrison gave his
"advice for those who die," meaning Paul. The entire Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album was awash with Paul-is-dead
clues: the Beatles had formed a "new" band featuring a fictional
member named Billy Shears — supposedly the name of Paul's replacement. The
album contained John Lennon's "A Day in the Life," which had the
lyrics "He blew his mind out in a car" and the recorded phrase
"Paul is dead, miss him, miss him," which becomes evident only when
the song is played backward. Lennon also mumbled, "I buried Paul" at
the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever" (in interviews, Lennon said
the phrase was actually "cranberry sauce" and denied the existence of
any backward messages).
If Paul is dead,
then his imposter is still at large. He met and married Linda Eastman, with
whom he had four children before losing her to breast cancer in 1998. He
released a live album in 1993 called Paul Is Live (likely
story), and produced more than 20 solo albums — and that's not even counting
the ones released by Wings. Then he endured a horrible divorce from Heather
Mills, which may have made him wish he were dead — or, at
least, were still Billy Shears. So who is the real McCartney? The world may
never know.
