By god! byrdsmaniac was also replaced by someone who thought that everyone would think that this thread title would be the gospel truth!  Fair play though byrds, you're the only person here who is still posting regularly and fighting to keep this place alive, it's such a shame that it's become a ghost town here, even BP isn't creating crazy theories anymore! If you can even give a rats arse, step in FM and prove yourself by bringing the de-fribulator (sp)!!! because this place is flatlining...  |

Byrds is doing a great job with his posts. It would be great if there were others like him here.
Crazy theories!! None of this would even be here without BP. He is the one who started all this. He is the one who brought out the story of Paul's replacement and got everyone talking about it in the first place.
If you give a rat's arse P.P. you better ask BeatlePaul to come back and post something!

He is the one who brought out the story of Paul's replacement and got everyone talking about it in the first place. If you give a rat's arse P.P. you better ask BeatlePaul to come back and post something! One way to look at it is, we should invite BP back rather politely, and sincerely, otherwise, it is like a situation whereunto the guests throw the host out of his own party! And that isn't very genteel, now, really, is it? I mean, as we consume the liquor, hors-d'oervres and other goodies into the wee hours, the host of the house is relegated out on the back veranda all alone wondering why he ever invited all these condescending people over to his digs in the first place? Slice it how you will, but this is still the house that Sunking built. Though he may have left good cousin BP to stay and watch over this internet condominium, as landlord in absentia, SK could still have all of us evicted from the property. To date, he has always been a most gracious host. And frankly, I have really been enjoying the hors-d'oervres. Huh? Snarfing up all the Bailey's? Me? Nope. I always bring mine in a flask. I have plenty left, plenty for the party. See? Look inside----oh-----oops---I am running dangerously low. Oh gosh. That will never do. I don't wanna leave just now, and miss the festivities. Just my luck, by the time I get back from the package store, something really cool will happen... Say, I've got an idea. What's say we'uns all sneak down to SK's basement and make sure he has a full enough bar supply to keep the party goin', yeah? I don't think he would mind, do y'all? After all, we're already trespassin' all over Macca's Backyard, so, shucks, why should his good friend from down Italy way mind a slight misappropriation out of the booze basement? Y'all with me? Huh? No? Well, you're an honorable group after all. I was just funnin' ya'. [embarrassed laugh] OK, I gotta run down to A-1 Liquors and re-up on the Irish creme. Be back in a jiffy. |

BP, you're back! Hello! You beat me to it! I was typing too slow!
Good to hear from you.
So, you just said that the truth of what we all seek in this affair is already stated, in toto, throughout, or somewhere on, this forum.
OK, fair enough. So, now, the job is, and I ask this as a question, the job is to cut away all of the dross and misinformation?
I rewatched "Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte" tonight. Call me a masochist; I was having a craving to watch Bette Davis in all her histrionic glory.
But, for those who remember it, (and if you never saw it, stop reading this now as I may spoil it for you), the role of the Englishman Insurance Investigator was most intriguing.
As an outsider, unbiased, and unaffecting by the local politic and mood, he was able to come to a realization of the truth of waht REALLY happenned to "John Mayhew", who lost his head and hand to a meat cleaver wielding person, and in the final scene of this tour de force thriller, he ever so genteely solves the whole riddle and plants the proof neatly in Bette Davis's hands as she is driven away from her family mansion by the law.
One wonders what happens to Bette's charactor after "THE END" rolls across her tear-stained, desperate face.
But now she knows the real truth about the terrible crime for which locals and even she blamed herself, for 38 or so years, a crime that, in fact, she didn't even commit...........
How will she fare in court for the murder hours earlier of two people? Her cousin and her family doctor? A crime she commited while hallucinating under drugs they administered to her.....she pushed a gigantic concrete planter onto their heads from a second story balcony.........will she fry for that?
Will the mysterious insurance investigator help her case and win her a dismissal from circumstantial testimony?
What has this got to do with Paul was found alive, and Beatle Paul is back?
THe million dollar insurance policy was never claimed by the widow on her dead husband.....was she afraid they would discover that she did it, and not Bette Davis?
That Bette's cousin in the movie, played by Olivia deHavilland, was a scheming, twisted old b*ych who blakcmailed the widow for decades until her health was broken and died?
That the good doctor friend of the family was also a wicked schemer who had been pulling a hoax on Davis to drive her crazy? To get her committed so as he nad the cousin couls get the house and live off the proceeds?
And that the cousin and the doctor had brutally murdered the housekeeper , played by Agnes Moorehead, who had"caught on" to their ruses and was about to tell all?
What has this to do with anything?
Overtly, nothing. Nothing at all.
But it signals me to the possibility that somewhere in England, is or was, a quiet little insurance adjuster who was smart enough to
deduce what ever may have been happening. and hopefully, will ultimately have "helped" whoever our "bette davis" was in the Beatle's story......
I will say, that English man in the "HHSCharlotte" movie was a model of discretion, careful logic, and good-natured concern.
Maybe, just maybe, Bette (Charlotte) got a reduced sentence, and time off for good behavior. You know, after the closing credits.
Or, darn it, maybe they fried her to a golden crisp in the chair. This was, after all, 1964 in the great state of Lousiana.
Wouldn't it be nice to hear that JPM #1 was found alive and kicking back having a frappacino and a Linzer torte in a Starbuck's in Modesto, CA, shop number 4,356.
That'd be cool; we'd know he retired because he wanted out of the star biz, and was a happier man elsewhere than onstage front and not quite center belting out "Yesterday" into the clamor and din of 50,000 screaming teens..........could a been like that.
But, some little kindly, gentle, wizened, calm, quiet insurance policy adjuter closed his cautious mouth many years ago on this matter in a way that, once again, leaves no traces to posterity.
Or us.
Or Bette Davis.
Oh, yes, I am a masochist. Time now to view "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane."
OK, another spoiler. so if you ain't seen it, STOP READING THIS POST NOW!
Question for those who HAVE seen "WHTBJ":
Did Joan Crawford's charactor (Blanche) die at THE END, just shy of getting attention and aide from the policeman, or do you think she might have made it to a healthy recovery in an emergency room somewhere?
I will probably never know the answer to that. unless it lay in the book from which the movie adaptation was made. The original author must have left some clues for us! "Cause he knows best. He penned it, right?
As far as the story of PWR/PID, we'll maybe have to check the book from which the Original Beatles story was told. Who was the original author of it again? William Sheppard? He must have left some clues for us! 'Cause he knows best. He penned it, right?

By god! byrdsmaniac has been replaced by someone who thought that 9 hours ago it was still April 1st! Didn't you hear? About what Tony Blair did? He talked Parliament into extending April Fool's Day into April Fool's Week. It now, as a holiday in Britain, April Fool's officialy ends on the 7th day of April. The 8th day of April is now to be called "The Epifunny", a day when everyone is to realize that the entire week before has been a farce (like a mass Epiphany, but, well, not an Epiphany Mass)......and for all people to laugh it off and get over whatever you hear about. Anyway, there are no taxes and all illegal vices are lawful for the week long wing-ding. During the week, Blair and other power brokers have the latittude to say basically anything they want to the public and the media, and then deny it all the following week. Well, I mean, now they can OFFICIALLY do it, anyway. This could lead to the establishment of at least one "Fool's Day" per month by the Crown, a thing which in the States, we would no doubt follow suit. This could prove most convenient to the current administration. Or me. Just kidding! Oh, I forgot one little detail. This extension ONLY applies to the elite and the ambitious: the Crown, members of Parliament, county and city administrators, the media, the military, and Mary Woodbridge with her dachshund Daisy. Only because she is a real climber. So, we can expect the flow of British BS to stall out and stop in about two more days. Hey, I'm having my epifunny---right now. Wish I could share it, but, you know, it's kinda personal, and, everyone should have one of their own. And, byrds, hey, what if we found Paul alive right under our very own noses? Would even THAT give us all the answers? Kind of a "Nostril-damus." (Latin for: 'Nostrils give us'.) |

From reading what I wrote above, if it were you, would you have picked "nose" instead? But, so, even what DID he say to you? INTERVIEWER: "So, why didn't the Beatles land a contract when they auditoned with Decca?" PAUL: As I recall, it was because we blew all of our major "sign-us" passages .

GEORGE: It's snot? The sleave swat? JOHN: It leaves not! GEORGE: S'wat? The sleeve snot? JOHN: It's not what's leaves........ GEORGE: It's snot what sleeves? JOHN: Snot? What? Not sleaves? Button it! GEORGE: My sleeves? They are buttoned. JOHN: Get out from under my nose. PAUL: Wha'? I'm not under your nose. I'm not under your thumb either. If you don't like where I am at, move your bloody nose. JOHN: My bloody nose? I don't have a bloody nose. PAUL: (song-songy) You're going to soon...... JOHN: And whose gonna give it to me? Not you? PAUL: I'll never tell... JOHN: Answer my question! PAUL: I have no answers. Not now, not eveah. JOHN: Yeah, right you have no answers. I'll give you some answers. GEORGE: Aunt Surz? Who is she? RINGO: Aunt Surz usually comes around followin' Questions, but there's more of 'im then there is of 'er. If you follow Questions around, and it doesn't lead you to Aunt Serz, then you'll probably wind up dealing with a certain Mister E. PAUL: That makes no sense. JOHN: You are wrong. I make Nose Scents. GEORGE: Really? How aromatic. How much do they cost? In terms of dollars and cents? RINGO: Cents? A million. PAUL: I could use some of that right now..... JOHN: Weed all go for some, Bud..... RINGO: ......Weiser? JOHN: .....and older. RINGO: No it's Older and Wiser, in that order. PAUL: No, it's Anheuser Busch in MY order..... JOHN: I order you to leave the bushes and the leaves out of it.... PAUL: Oh by criminy, it's back onto the topic of the sleaves again. Get over it, JOHN! JOHN: All I want is some Greens Leaves! Get it? greens leaves, greensleaves? RINGO: OK, OK< back into Studio one. We've got to finish Day Tripper before tea or George Martin is gonna have our heads... GEORGE: ...or our noses..... JOHN: ..or my thumbs....... PAUL: Wait----Day Tripper? I thought we were doing Nowhere Man? No Air, Man, No Air, Man...........

I never pick my nose! At least not in public!
I was doing some spring cleaning, and came across notes I had taken on the song "Instant Karma" about a year and a half ago.
It seems obvious to me now that this song was a call to Paul to come out of hiding and live life. The words, "You better get yourself together; pretty soon you're gonna be dead" would indicate that John is telling him to clean up a drug problem, or else that, having a terminal condition, he should make the most of his remaining time on Earth.
These words: "How in the world you gonna see?" make me think again that Paul may have actually had problems with his vision; the word "see" having double meaning.
These words still disturb me:
"Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head"
"Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna look you right in the face"
Did Paul hit someone over the head, and now would have to face the person in court?
In any case, "Instant Karma" seems to have been written to a living Paul, who was not with the Beatles.
I believe it came out in 1970. I don't know how much earlier it was written. Here are the lyrics:
INSTANT KARMA
(Lennon)
Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head,
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead,
What in the world you thinking of,
Laughing in the face of love,
What on earth you tryin' to do,
It's up to you, yeah you.
Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna look you right in the face,
Better get yourself together darlin',
Join the human race,
How in the world you gonna see,
Laughin' at fools like me,
Who on earth d'you think you are,
A super star,
Well, right you are.
Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
Well we all shine on,
Ev'ryone come on.
Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you off your feet,
Better recognize your brothers,
Ev'ryone you meet,
Why in the world are we here,
Surely not to live in pain and fear,
Why on earth are you there,
When you're ev'rywhere,
Come and get your share.
Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
Yeah we all shine on,
Come on and on and on on on,
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah-.

I have wondered why Paul seems frequently shown in sunglasses, even indoors, in most Jan-July 1966 pictures. Maybe he had some problems going on and just up and quite the Beatles. It's possible. He was a musician. It's the kind of thing you hear about all the time. |
