How do you block the holes in the colander if you can't stuff them with tinfoil any more?

You guys should not make fun of those that actually do get government mind controls signals implanted in their brains. This intolerant behavior will quickly lead to the posting cartoons with images making sport of Paul McCartney and showing him wearing funny hear gear. Then where will we be? Protests! Boycotts! Riots!

OK Len your large font sized argument has totally convinced me. But did you know, they have been incorporating nano-particles of a rare earth element in commercially available tinfoil for years. This allows mind control waves through. You can disable this by baking it in a radiation oven, or is that a ceramics lab? Anyhow, I would recommend wearing a high gauge stainless steel colander. And don’t forget, the waves are much higher out of doors. I always wear mine on the way to work and look at all the other silly chumps driving around unprotected. If only they knew just how stupid they were! ;D To make sure I'm fully protected I convinced a neighbor of mine to sell me his 150 year-old brass diving helmet, which I now wear at all times which makes sleeping, showering and kissing my wife and kids quite difficult but it's worth it to make sure I'm protected. Unfortunately they won't let me into banks anymore, i wonder what's going to happen next time I try to board a plane? tinshednauticals.com/images/helmet.jpg [/img]

As Rusty pointed out Paul didn't die until '66. Lennon and Harrison wrote all the songs atributed to him. Lennon was killed because he was going public. I suppose that is more believable than my, McCartney is a shape shifting alien theory. But something still doesn’t add up. In a recent outburst at the Q Magazine awards, Yoko Ono said “John Lennon used to lie awake at night agonising over why Paul McCartney’s songs were more popular than his own”. She said that she used to pacify John by assuring him that his songs “were more sophisticated than his colleague’s simple rhythms”. Ono appeared to imply that McCartney’s lyrics were from the “moon, June, spoon” school of rhyming love songs. If Lennon and Harrison wrote all the songs then why did Lennon not take all the best ones for himself? Why let Paul “Impostor” McCartney get the glory? Why believe anything Yoko Ono says? She was John's handler. Part of the plan was to downplay John's talent and exalt the imposter. Why did she stop his solo career for so long? And why was he shot dead soon after he started it again? I know one or more songs attributed to Faul were written by John during the final Beatles era but I don't know how much, if any of Faul's solo music was written by John. Faul's "ghost" writers include Elton John, Tony Banks, Denny Laine and others. Why do you think his style became so inconsistent and virtually NOTHING LIKE the early Beatles music?

Ya, now pull the other one. Interesting. I always felt Paul was the consummate popster, and much of his music retained that flavor throughout the Beatles era, Wings, and later. If anybody's music wasn't like the early stuff it was John's. Also, Rusty are you suggesting that Elton John, Tony Banks, Denny Laine, and 'others' were in on the plot?

I agree that Paul was the more consistent of the two. But both also did change their styles somewhat by becoming more experimental. Of course Lennon followed farther down that path leading to some rather surrealistic music. The problem with this Paul is dead stuff is that there is nothing unusual about an artist making changes to his (or her) style as time passes and success allows more freedom for personal expression. Musicians must do this or risk falling into self parity, as many bands have done. However both Paul and John ended to move back to the roots of their music over time. This stuff with Yoko and John’s handler need some explanation and what harm would have come if John would have revealed it so many years after the fact? In fact such a revelation probably would have boosted album sales. Rusty can do little more than spin the record here, so to speak.

While on the topic of music, does anyone know of songs that have been found to carry secret messages? I can think of three.
There is the Beatles famous “number nine” from Revolution 9, that sound something like “turn me on dead man,” when reversed. One of the clues to the Paul is dead followers.
I remember turning some Hendrix song around on a reel to reel deck and playing it at double speed to hear Hendrix speaking. But the title does not come to mind. Hendrix also used reversed guitar playing on some songs. The slow attack to the rapid fade of the notes sounded very eerie in the seventies, but with modern instruments a musician can have virtually any sound desired.
ELO’s song Fire on High had a very obvious reversed voice in the opening that said, “The music is reversible but time is not, turn back, turn back,” when the voice is played forward.
Do any others have some discoveries to share?

You mean other than the fact that the songs on the White Album were secret messages to Manson for him to start his "race war" plan?
Try Googling "backward masking"

Thanks, I didn’t know the term “backmasking.” And as usual, Wikipedia had an amusing article. However they trace the Paul is Dead urban legend to Russell Gibb starting in 1969, so we have a conflict between DH and the Wikipedia writers.

Yes I can see it now. Paul just gets sick of writing haunting ballads so he decides to change his style and write crap for a number of years.

He looks bad for a 64-yr. old health nut--way older than Ringo (66) who spent most of his life boozing. Maybe that's because Fake Paul is about 10 years older than Real Paul. As for Lennon, with Yoko for a mentor, how could he write anything BUT crap???

While feeling particularly self destructive one day, I actually listened to the second side of the Plastic Ono Band’s Live Peace in Toronto. That experience was enough to show that my life could have been so much worse. Like for instance, if I had actually paid for a ticket to hear Yoko sing perform. Since the album came from the cutout bin, the first side was more than worth the cost. When a show of her art came through Houston a few years ago, I really did enjoy it as long as I stayed away from the videos.
