   It was said at that time that there was a Paul look alike contest and the winner had to take Paul's place...of course all of it was bs!

   OMG, you guys are just stupid. PAUL ISN'T DEAD! Don't you think that if Pul died they wouldn't have hidden it? God, this is The STUPIDEST theory I've ever heard!

   Paul is smoking a cigarette with his right hand when he is in fact left handed which further supported the theory that it was not Paul but an imitation.

   I find it interesting that the cover of the Abbey Road album begins the section on the Beatles. I recall that there were rumors of Pauls death beginning about 1966. This cover is said to be 'PROOF!,' a 'clue,' or whatever...
   Now this was 40 years ago, so I don't remember it all, but the interpretation I remember is that the four of them, from right to left, represent as follows:
   John is either god or a doctor, dressed in white;
   Ringo is the undertaker or a preacher;
   Paul is the deceased, thus no shoes;
   George is the guy who buries the coffin...
   Also, I believe that the license plate on the VW reads:
   27 IF. Meaning IF he survived the wreck of the motorcar described in 'A Day in the Life.'
   There might be other stuff on the cover that I don't remember or know about.
   The rumor took off shortly after the release of Sgt. Peppers, the album that tune was on. The Beatles were aware of the rumor, since Abbey Road came out in '68, so they might have just been yanking peoples chains...
   They certainly weren't above it... Especially John...
   The 'Paul is Dead' rumor was a big deal some places, and began in Detroit. For more info on that, see my entry about the song 'A Day in the Life.'
