I've not seen anyone mention the story that Patterson told on Coast to Coast last night regarding Carl Perkins.
Paraphrasing, as I don't have a copy of the show and memory is faulty:
Carl Perkins went to visit Faul and demoed a song for him that he was working on. Upon hearing the lyrics, Faul froze in shock. He asked Carl to play it again, and he did, and Faul was still staggered. Faul called to Linda to come and hear the lyrics, and when she came in the room Carl played the song again. She was as equally shocked as Faul. She asked Carl "How did you know that?" Carl asked her what she meant. She replied "Those were the last words that John said to Paul before Paul was murdered!"
***
Anyway, I'm new to the 60IF document, but it certainly is a good explanation for why almost all post-Beatles McCartney work is absolute garbage. The only exception I can think of is his collaboration with Elvis Costello on 'So Like Candy'.

Vitanuova,
Welcome to the site!
"collaboration with" and "co-wrote" usually means the other guy did it all and Faul took the credit. So it would've truly been an Elvis Costello work, though wasn't there a rumour he was replaced as well?
Someone in a recent post said, having met Faul and Linda, that they thought Linda was duped as well. But if this story is true, then she wouldn't have been. Besides, I think she would've noticed if her husband wasn't really writing all the songs.

That's a rumor I've never heard before, and one that I'd have to doubt as he is just as bitter, scathing, and brilliant as ever. Being a conspiracy junkie, I'd love to read more though. If the current Paul is a replacement, I don't see how Linda could have not known. People who are cohabitating and in love tend to have a hard time keeping secrets from one another. Also, if Faul didn't write that dreck, why would he pay someone to write such crap?

Oh, Linda well knew all about! Underskin fillers had a short duration and Faul wore contact lenses to darken his eyes natural color....then...

I'm pretty sure that Patterson told that story as last thing John said to "Paul" before JOHN was murdered.
Which would've been around 75 or 76, I think.

That was I who said that Linda was probably duped as well, but let me further clarify. What I mean is in the beginning she was most definitely fooled and therefore fell in love with our favorite schmuck! I too, believe she would have maybe noticed by the time Wings came along that the trash wasn't all going to the dumps! You can definitely hear a major difference in the lyrical content and as a musician, the movements were a brand new avenue for "Paul McCartney"!! I think Linda may have eventually thought one of two things! A) McCartney fans are actually idiots and we can profit from this, which would indicate her knowing of this charade, or B) Linda may have thought "Paul has really dried up since leaving the Beatle Spotlight", which would make her duped! Remember, Linda was not really much of a musician herself and "Faul" maybe was afraid of letting her know about the charade. I never really considered it myself, feeling quite honored to play with the great McCartney, but there were times when there seemed to be some sort of inside joke going on that was never let on to others! Only my observances, but hey, the possibility is certainly there!

Mykel, I 'm pretty sure I saw a picture of Eastman with the real Paul when I first started digging thru these sites -- perhaps someone can post it?
That is why I think she knew Faul was not Paul when they hooked up later -- she saw an opportunity to grab the brass ring of fame and went for it, and milked it for all it is worth. (She became a "rock star!") No wonder she and Faul got along so well -- they were very similar in that respect.
That's how I see it.

I agree totalinformation, linda grabbed that brass ring all right...it had nothing to do with him wanting to work with someone he knew, it had nothing to do with starting over in small clubs and colleges like he and john both stated, she became such a BIG ROCK STAR....singing backup all those years and playing keyboards....all those critics were so kind to her talking about how well she sang and played...not to mention all the solo albums and songs she put out...(grin)...c'mon she found her own spot in the world....she was better know as an animal rights activist and photographer.....and had amassed a nice little monetary nest of her own...

It's even possible that Linda put "pressure" on Faul to marry her.

Linda's death is quite identical to George's one.....

Yes, but I think Faul and Linda were geniunely in love. I'm not convinced that hers was deliberate but, then again, nothing would surprise me at this point.
What might be a possible motive for killing her?

This just gets curiouser and curiouser.
So, something happened to make Faul fall out of love with Linda and then...
...or she'd had enough of the charade?

It makes you wonder if the reason why Linda did her cookbook and photgraph thing was so that if Faul was found out not to be Paul that she would have something to fall back on.

Don't know whether she would have had enough...perhaps in the beginning she felt i can do this so to speak...keep the coverup...then decided i have to do this to keep things going...before she died remember they stated they had ony spent one night apart willingly...(not counting japan)...perhaps her thing was we have kids you do your thing i'll do mine (animals and such)and we'll present the happy picture....but what about mills....to young to know the difference...theres a brass ring grabber if you ask me.......and stella ..lol
