Hi, my name's Gaby, and I want to talk to you all about the famous rumor that Paul McCartney, musican, artist, writer, and former Beatles member, died and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike. The story, which was pieced together by fans from the lyrics of several Beatles songs, was that on Wednesday, November 9th, 1966, Paul stormed out of a recording session because of an argument with the other Beatles members. While he was driving home, he didn't notice that the lights had changed because he was busy watching a pretty girl on the pavement. So he crashed into a lamp-post. When the police found his body, he was decapitated and covered in so much blood that nobody could identify him. Also, his teeth were all broken so dental records were of no use. The Beatles then held a Paul McCartney look-alike contest to secretly replace him. The name of this look-alike was William Shears Campbell or Billy Shears, which was the name of the fictitious leader of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. William Shears Campbell then had to have plastic surgery to look like Paul and appeared on later Beatles album covers.
The whole rumor started when a man named Tom Zarski telephoned Russ Gibb, a radio DJ in Detroit, and asked him to play Revolution 9 backwards. When he played it, Gibb thought he heard one of the Beatles say "Turn me on, dead man." Now, one clue that this rumor is a hoax is this: Why would anyone just play a random song backwards? How would Tom Zarski know to play it backwards unless he made it up? What I'm guessing is that he was bored and had nothing else to do. So he made himself believe that Paul McCartney was dead. And people analysed pictures and listened to more Beatles songs backwards and came up with one conclusion: Paul was dead. Now, for those of you who've heard "Paul is dead" or "Take him, Satan" or whatever else in Beatles songs played backwards, remember that backmasking was popular at that time. Or maybe it's just that people are so paranoid that they make themselves believe that Paul's dead. But c'mon, what are the odds that they could could find a look-alike with Paul's exact personaility, voice, and musical ideas? Not to mention that William Shears Campbell wouldn't have aged so naturally with plastic surgery. Also, a lot of those clues don't even make sense. For example, one clue is that in the Beatles movie "Help!", Paul was the only one to know how to read the blood-red footprints. People took this as a rememberance of his bloody car crash. But HELLO! "Help!" was released a year before his supposed death. Also, the albums Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Yesterday and Today are all supposed to hold clues about his death but they were all released long before Paul's alleged death. And again and again, the Beatles denied the rumors and John often got fed up with all the analyzing, which is why he made the nonsensical songs Glass Onion and I Am the Walrus. So, for all of you who believe this idiotic story that musician James Paul McCartney died, stop assuming that everything you hear is true and GET A LIFE!

  • wait so pual's head was cut off and his teeth were smashed to hell? Was he in a car crash, or was he in a car compacter?

  • Fun fact: of anyone in music paul is the most successful songwriter ever( please don't be a sheep and google it!)...anyways that makes Paul not one in a million, but one in billions. There is no replacing such a person- even less so with one that looks and sounds identical (are these people serious?!) Nuff said.
