Found this tonight - it purports to be George Harrison confessing the truth about Paul dying in 1966 (it's not, it's an actor's voice!) but the whole mockumentary thing is surprisingly well done.

Although The Beatles and their press office at Apple were initially bewildered and somewhat annoyed by the story's refusal to die away, there is evidence that the group members themselves found it amusing.
In an edition of Life magazine dated 7 November 1969, McCartney reassured fans that "Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated," paraphrasing Mark Twain. "However," he continued, "if I was dead, I'm sure I'd be the last to know."
The magazine's cover featured Paul and Linda with their children, in a picture taken on their Scottish farm. The cover featured the words "The case of the 'missing' Beatle - Paul is still with us". Shortly after the issue went on sale the rumours started to decline.
Lennon referred to the myth in 1971's How Do You Sleep?, his vitriolic attack on McCartney from the Imagine album. The song contains the lines: "Those freaks was right when they said you was dead, the one mistake you made was in your head".
McCartney parodied the rumours with the title and cover or his 1993 album Paul Is Live. The artwork was based on the Abbey Road cover photograph; instead of the 28IF number plate, a car shows 51 IS instead. To reinforce the cycle of life, he is pictured being dragged across the famous zebra crossing by one of the offspring of his sheepdog Martha.

Ah, well, you see ROCK, this video is only available within the continental United States. Even me in Canada can't look at it.
Anyway, I like most of Faul's solo work after the Beatles.

Sorry about that my friend. All it was, was a News video about Sir Paul's upcoming funeral.

I do not know where to put this post but I was just watching Paul in the video for the track Rain and what is wrong with his teeth. I know he did have an accident but was it around that period and did that fuel the conspiracy theories.

Yeah, and when Ringo sings "You were in a car crash, and you lost your hair," he really meant "chipped your tooth" instead of "lost your hair." We could probably come up with some other references in Beatle songs that could refer to Paul's chipped tooth. And which people used as evidence of Paul's death in 1966. Actually, it was a moped accident. www.beatlesinterviews.org/db1966.0616.beatles.html

Has anyone ever noticed that the two lefties in the Beatles are still alive and the two righties are dead. Which goes with the theory that lefties live longer and are more lucky...except for this moment...
Watch out Paul....

Oh, yeah, I noticed that several years ago. It is not as well known since it's not so obvious that Ringo is also left-handed.
I have read that lefties are more likely to be clumsy, have falls, etc.

I just had a thought; perhaps Paul really was dead. After all, The Beatles and Paul's look-alike could've lied. Of course I know that he didn't die, but... you never know...

Where are you going to find someone that looks and sounds like Paul McCartney---and is lefthanded to boot?

Actually, I think that Paul/Faul/Pfaul was best with the Beatles, because he's my least favorite solo.

I knew Ruth [Paul;s stepsister] back in the day; and she certainly thinks he's alive.
