The Paul Mcartney Conspiracy

  In case I haven't told you, The Beatles are absolutely my favorite group of musicians ever, which probably seems odd, knowing the many artists I admire. However, The Beatles left behind a great deal of mystery, and importance within rock history. Today I'm writing about the Paul Mcartney conspiracy. Believe it or not, many Beatles fans have come to believe that Paul (the lead singer of the band),really died back in the year of 1966, in an unfortunate car accident. He was then replaced by a look alike by the name of Billy Shears.

Referred to as Faul, (false Paul) the replacement as believed is here on the right versus the original on the left.

Billy Shears may seem familiar to you. Perhaps does the name ring a bell? In The Beatles album "Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club", the first song reads,

"the one and only Billy Shears." 

 In addition, on the cover of this album, each member of this musical group chose a number of figures to be on the album. A small, yet visible wreath, was noticeable on the bottom right. The wreath was in the shape of a bass, in which Paul had played, which symbols that the wreath was an honor to him.
   The song in "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club" called, "A Day in The Life'', refers to a car. Paul was thought to have been killed, as a result of a violent car crash. The first line of the second verse says,"He blew his mind out in a car.'' This line has opened the door of curiosity to many, as it seems to almost exactly reflect the circumstance in the theory. Some listeners have recalled hearing phrases, when playing the track backwards such as "Paul is dead, I miss him'', or "Will Paul be there as superman?". These elements of the theory could just being coincidental, but leave a very grim belief, for The Beatles really would leave these unanswered snippets, in the reverse playing of their music.

                               
                  The yellow wreath on the right bottom is shaped as a bass.
   There are pieces of evidence embedded within another album too, called "Abbey Road''. In "Abbey Road'', Paul was shown barefoot walking among the road as opposed to wearing shoes like his fellow band members. This had shown something was different or in contrast separating Paul, from the band. This is by far the weakest piece of evidence provided, but I decided to include it anyway.
   The Volkswagen Beetle in the picture has a license of LMW 28IF. The album was released at the time Paul Mcartney would of been 28,  which  is in past tense, as many believed he had already passed.

In the album cover, Paul is barefoot, and the Volkswagen Beetle lies to the left.

The final bit of evidence has triggered much discussion and analysis, over its very complex possibilities. There is a song called "Strawberry Fields Forever'', in which is now a place John Lennon now rests peacefully. However, why is this significant in the terms of Paul and whether or not he died? Much like "A Day in The Life'', many songs by The Beatles consist of messages if the tracks are played in reverse. This specific song holds a very melancholy vibe while listening, because John can be heard saying,''I buried Paul.'' An argumentative explanation was formed against this aspect saying John had said,''Cranberry Sauce'', but you will need to hear for yourself.

Today we may never be able to distinguish the pure truth behind this theory, as it may be Billy Shears we hear, not Paul,  or it could all be false. This is up to what you believe reality consists of. The many secrets of this conspiracy will forever be buried within the mysterious Strawberry Fields forever, a place where nothing is real. 

(You can hear the two pieces of evidence, "A Day in The Life'' verse backwards, and "Strawberry Fields Forever,'' below.. do not be afraid to form an opinion on this theory.)
