zombie84 said:. It strikes me as similar to the likely scenario of how the Beatles started playing on the Paul-is-Dead theory

I just dead a quick internet search to find out what the Paul-is-Dead theory was. I had never heard of it before. So let me get this straight, some people actually believe that Paul McCartney died in 1967 and a look-a-like has been posing as McCartney ever since? So they believe that the guy performing at Olympics opening ceremony was not Paul McCartney, but a look-a-like? My god, people are crazy.

I never knew anyone who truly believed this, but I know that is was fun to find the clues on the albums and in the songs when I was a kid. I think it was more about whether the Beatles would pull this type of joke/stunt just to tease their fans. Was it a real planed joke, or just a series of obscure symbolism put together by some crazy American Disc Jockey?
