Hello Chicken Head,

 CH> Ok one more for tonight...and this one is a good one.

 CH> You've all heard the long-running conspiracy theory that Paul McCartney died
 CH> in
 CH> 1966 and was replaced with a sound-alike named "Billy
Shears" (or Shepherd).
 CH> It is the conspiracy theory that will not die.  It has even taken on a new
 CH> life
 CH> on YouTube by someone calling himself "iamaphoney" who
has created probably
 CH> a
 CH> hundred videos about Paul's death and replacement.

 CH> But now we have THIS:

 CH> Yes, I have this book.  And no, I did not believe a word of the conspiracy
 CH> theory.  But reading this book really turns your head around.  It is
 CH> LONG...over 600 pages.   Whoever wrote this knows Beatles lore inside and
 CH> out.
 CH> And they also know the "Paul is Dead" story inside and
out.  It is actually
 CH> mind boggling to read, and that's if you don't count the acrostic
"encoding"
 CH> and word stacking that was done to give "secret
messages."  Call it a hoax
 CH> but
 CH> it is one hell of a hoax, and a good read.

 CH> Is Paul dead?  Is this book really the confession of the doppleganger who
 CH> replaced him?

Paul is very much alive and well.  At least the version I met
a few years ago who was dressed as a clown in a Mardi Gras parade
in New Orleans.  Another of his bandmates (another Beatle) was
also there, but not dressed as a clown.

The first time I met him was eons ago, when the Beatles gave
a concert at City Park in New Orleans.  They were much younger
then.  All four of them still alive and kicking.  The next time
I met Paul he was dressed as a clown in a Mardi Gras parade.
We all recognized him, even with the costume and make-up.
There was another Beatle hanging abouts in the parade, but
not in costume or make-up.  Nobody bothered with him, as
Paul received all the attention.  The last time I met Paul
was two years ago, when he gave a concert in New Orleans.
Indoors on stage, not outdoors at City Park.

Whichever version of Paul you are reading about, I know I have
met the authentic version of Paul.  Of which there can be only one.

You do realize John Lennon is still alive and well at a
monastery in Louisiana.  Not far from where Paul (and Linda)
used to do some recordings.  It is a very secluded place,
with lots of peace and quiet.
