Having said that, there are some curious things such as the obviously different nose shape and curiously-apparent fake ears...or so they seem to me,
but i need to investigate this further.
Also, why so much backmasking. Admittedly some of it is clutching at non-existennt straws, but there are a couple (notably the 'Gratitude' one)
which intrigue me....I mean, why would they do that?
I disagree with the nose and ears looking different, they look the same to me. As we keep saying different lighting and different angles, look at
photos of someone else or even yourself.
What's the 'gratitude' one I must have missed it.
The 'backmasking' was a new toy to play with. Musicians are always looking for a new thing to do. They didn't do that much of it, a little
backwards guitar here and there and some studio out takes just mixed in for effect. Paul was the first to experiment with it. After they stopped
touring they had more time in the studio to experiment, both John and Paul had 4 track tape machines at home. It was all part of the new psychedelic
music and avante garde (Paul was the first there also even though John is thought as being the radical one). John went to the Indica gallery to see
Yoko Ono's exhibit
after Paul had been to see it and recommended it to him.
Yes, it could be all just a big pisstake, and if so, well done!
However, i don't expect to be called a 'kid' when I'm not.
Well done to who? No one set up this hoax, it just sort of grew from a bunch of fans who kept finding the so called 'clues', that were then
reported in a college paper or two. At the time it wasn't that big of a story, I think you guys are making more of it than anyone else ever did
before the internet.
After Brian Epstein died the band was kind of lost, it was Paul that kept them going, and sort of become their leader much to the resentment of the
rest. But if he didn't the band would have split more than likely. Even though John was seen as the leader by default in the beginning, he was too
insecure for the role of leader when it became really necessary, before that they did what Brian and George Martin told them to do. Notice Paul got
most of the 'A' sides, and he managed to manipulate a lot of the processes so he would stand out from the other 3, such as the black rose when the
others all had red, or standing backwards towards the band like he was the conductor, walking out of step and barefoot on the 'Abbey Road' cover.
Anything to stand out from the other three. Paul is good at self promotion.
Have you ever watched 'Let it Be'? If you haven't you should, you can see how Paul seems to be the one in control of the sessions. More time was
spent on his songs, he tended to be more experimental on Johns songs than he did his own.
Why would the other 3 let that happen if he was not Paul? Common sense and logic should tell you that answer.
