    Can anyone name all the clues to Paul McCartney's 'fake' death?

    Question #63350. Asked by Br.John. (Mar 10 06 11:46 PM)

    In the film Magical Mystery Tour, during Your Mother Should Know Paul is wearing a black carnation the others are wearing red. On the cover of Abbey Road, Paul is barefoot in a suit, he's the corpse, George is the grave digger, Ringo is the minister and John is Jesus Christ. Revolution #9 is really the recording of a fatal car accident that Paul was involved in. In the song Strawberry Fields Forever, you can hear during the ending "I buried Paul." On the cover of Sgt. Pepper, it's not just a gathering of famous and infamous people over the years, it's a gathering of Paul's funeral, the guitar arrangement symbolizes his guitar which was buried with him. Billy Shears is really the guy who replaced Paul.

    Good job, I've also heard that Paul has an OPD (officialy pronounced dead)arm band on in some picture, and in another picture is pointing to the words "Wednesday morning at five o'clock" (fake time of death)

    Amazing what some people will believe rather than the simple truth... I think he finds this quite amusing.

    Now for the realities: In the film Magical Mystery Tour, during Your Mother Should Know Paul is wearing a black carnation the others are wearing red, and this means nothing. On the cover of Abbey Road, Paul is barefoot in a suit (Paul was originally wearing sandals but took them off), George is in denims, Ringo is in a mourning coat and John is dressed in all white. Revolution #9 is really an experimental recording made by John and Yoko. In the song Strawberry Fields Forever, you can hear during the ending "Cranberry Sauce." On the cover of Sgt. Pepper, it's just a gathering of famous and infamous people over the years, as chosen by the Beatles themselves. Each person or their estate gave permission to be on the cover. Billy Shears is the fictional singer of "With a Little Help From My Friends."

    In Janet Tashjian's book 'The Gospel According to Larry' Josh (the main character/narrator) mentions something about how 'people scoured the cover of Abbey Road for clues of Paul's death.' Did such a craze ever exist?
