Ok, so being an avid Beatles fan since forever I'd obvs heard about the dead Paul thing and was into it for a bit but ended up thinking "nah...too crazy to be true".
After listening to Mark Devlin on THC (awesome episode!) im not so sure anymore. Like I said in my comments on the show, I can handle the earth being flat but not a dead and replaced Paul Mac!!
Anyway after watching hours and hours of stuff ('The Winged Beatle'; 'Rotten Apple' etc) I think I might just be convinced...almost! Especially after reading that Ringo Star came out last year and said that 'yes, Paul died in a car crash in 66 and we replaced him with a lookalike'. He said that it was only supposed to be for a few weeks until they figured out what to do, but that people didn't seem to notice the replacement and they just kept going with it...(I don't have the link but just google 'Ringo admits Paul died).
Anyway, there's a few things that prevent me from fully believing this conspiracy.
1. Real Paul was engaged to a women called Jane Asher. After the apparent replacement there's still photos of them together briefly before he dumped her for Linda. So why would Jane, his fiancé, knowingly keep seeing the fake Paul however briefly? If your fiancé has just had his "mind blown out in a car" wouldn't you be a little devastated? Would you really go "oh well, I'll take the replacement". And c'mon, if your sleeping with a man you'd know if he'd been replaced!
2. What about Paul's family. His dad, brother etc. what kind of family loses a loved one and pretends like nothing happened.
3. Where are the details of the accident? How did the whole car accident rumor or truth begin?
4. No matter how good a doppelgänger the replacement was, if someone replaced my best friend with a lookalike, I'd know! Ever so slight differences and mannerisms must have alerted a whole bunch of people.
5. Do fake Paul's kids know?
Only a few things that prevent me from being truly being convinced about this one - yet way more things that support the theory : fake Paul is taller, slightly different features, different shoe size, Fingerprint test in Japan not matching, Ringo admitting it, the whole Billy Shears Campbell thing.
Oh well. Like all good conspiracies I'll file it away in the "hope the truth comes out one day" file.
