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> https://www.amazon.com/Memoirs-Billy-Shears-Thomas-Uharriet   
   dp/1475145888/ref=s

    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?   
      
    CH> We are http://www.prooforspoof.com   
      
   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.
