So when did people stop believing Paul Macartney died during the recording of Abbey Road? As far as I can remember people still longed to believe this while he was releasing songs and being on tv. So what is the latest point somebody you know of argued the case for this conspiracy?
 
It began before Abbey Road. The Macca is dead rumour started at the end of 1966, or the beginning of 1967. Believers found many 'clues' on the Sgt Pepper sleeve. The line 'he blew his mind out in a car' was supposed to refer to a car crash that killed fab Macca. On the sleeve photo Paul wears a badge that says OPD. Believers said this meant Officially Pronounced Dead. In fact it was Orlando Police Department. Paul was replaced by a look alike from Liverpool. 'Let me introduce to you the one and only Billy Shears...' The 'clues' on the Abbey Road sleeve were that John is the Priest in white,Ringo the undertaker with a suit on,George the gravedigger and Paul was barefoot,which apparently in the sign of a corpse in some parts of the world. The fact that no corpse is barefooten in the UK did not deter the nutters. The number plate on the car in the photo says 21 IF. Paul would have been 21 if he had lived. And so on. Total nonsense. CTists are not right in the head.

He was kidnapped by four-armed, time travelling aliens from another dimension at 1:20AM on 06NOV1966 just outside London and replaced by a duplicate; it was part of their efforts to destroy the counterculture movement by influencing popular music, thus increasing support for (and international participation in) the war in Vietnam and enabling their successful conquest of Earth in the aftermath of the 1970 nuclear war.

I'm not going to risk the few braincells that I have left by looking at that.

I heard that is was supposed to be Ontario, but Ontario doesn't refer to their Police as the OPD. And in 1967 no one would have even known where Orlando was....And what was the deal with Ringo being mentioned in Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - Obviously a reference to Ringo's LSD feuled rage that led to the auto accident - which involved driving a yellow VW into the Liverpool harbor (Yellow Submarine???)...

Correction -- 28IF. Actually, Paul was 27 but in some eastern countries people are regarded as a year old at birth and the Beatles visited India so... see, it works! The full license plate reads LMW 28IF. Some people think LMW means, "Linda McCartney weeps," which is odd since Paul was supposed to have died in 1966, before he and Linda met.

In the Life magazine article Paul stated, "It is all bloody stupid. I picked up the O.P.D. badge in Canada. It was a police badge. Perhaps it means Ontario Police Department or something." [2] This explanation didn't help to clarify anything, however, because there is no such thing is the Ontario Police Department. The badge Paul was wearing actually reads "O.P.P.", which stands for the Ontario Provincial Police. The angle of the photograph makes the final "P" look like a "D".

Whatever. It was a long time ago and I didn't feel like digging out the album. It was all nonsense anyway.

I knew where Orlando was in 1967. Some of us paid attention during geography class :)
 
'Paul Is Dead' is probably my favourite ct. There are a few jaw-droppingly insane forums dedicated to it.

This one takes the insanity to new levels though...apparently Paul, John, George and Ringo never even existed!

Can't post link but it's...'thebeatlesneverexisted.com'

Again!? I dont know how many lifes the guy has, but he seems to have an infinite number of deaths. I wonder what happens when he really dies. Then, probably, he is going to be thought to be still alive, somehow.
 
There's a "documentary" out there called "Paul McCartney Really is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison." It's based on a supposed tape of George Harrison admitting (via a microtape he made in the hospital) the entire story of the death and coverup.

This movie is *astonishingly* bad. It gets some very basic, provable facts about the Beatles wrong and the voice of "George" sounds like a poor imitation. It's so bad that it seems like it's a parody, but I couldn't find anything on the internet stating that it's a parody.

Even if it wasn't meant as a parody, it's definitely entertaining as one.

I recommend The Winged Beatle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsPCQ932vlU

It gives me the creeps every time I watch it.
