Paul McCartney was killed in a car accident.
This is one of those myths that are so utterly outrageous that you have to think there's a grain of truth in it.
The story goes that McCartney along with a woman, were killed at the scene in a horrific car accident, McCartney allegedly being decapitated. The Beatles were absolutely massive at the time and instead of just releasing the news of his death, the remaining Beatles covered it up and brought a lookalike (with some plastic surgery alterations) in to replace him.
As the conspiracy goes there's numerous clues on Abbey Road & the Sgt Pepper albums.
Although I don't believe this to be the case, there's some quite convincing nuggets of evidence that make you pause for a moment and although I think that McCartney is the original McCartney, I do think the Beatles (especially Paul & John) were into some really heavy, fucked up shit.
If you've got an hour or so to spare, have a watch of the documentary Winged Beatle. It's a bit out there but I'm telling you it doesn't half point out some weird stuff and at times, it almost had me convinced.

So I'm guessing you watched it as well...
...which would make you a massive spastic AND a hypocrite.

well no, i didn't. i saw that it was an hour long and thought you know what,
not only is this clearly batshit mental, it's also LONG. so i didn't bother.

So let me get this straight...
...you called me a massive spastic for wasting an hour of my life on something you haven't even watched under the logic that it was an "hour long" and you ASSUMED it was going to be "batshit mental."

You never really thought this through, did you?

I can confirm this is true
When Lennon got shot though they couldn't be arsed to do through all that shit again and just packed it in.

Shirley
they shot Lennon to keep him quiet about the Paul thing. After all he did write the lyric "Those freaks was right when they said you was dead" adding credence to the theory.

Yeah. Right!

On the cover of Abbey Road
Is a car with the registration PMC281F - ie. P.Mcartney 28 IF (he'd lived).

I think that was a big part of the conspiracy theory.

would also go some way as to explaining why he looks as haggard as a very haggard thing now.

It's LMW 28IF...
...LMW stands for Linda McCartney Widowed, something all these douchebags with webophones and their videographs keep forgetting.

Doesn't matter that she was still Eastman at the time either. I have the crash on 8mm.

I find it more interesting that the image was taken just hours after the LaBianca murders, what with the link to Manson and all.
