    I never believed that Paul McCartney had actually died and been replaced; I was never that stoned or stupid. As a young kid, however, I was amused by the possibility that the Beatles actually engineered some prank to this effect.

    One of the items I considered was the rumor about the gibberish muttered by John at the end of "I'm Only Sleeping." The legend was that when this was played backward, it stated: "Paul is dead man, miss him, miss him."

    I couldn't dismiss this possibility, because the utterance does sound weird (of course, it's also classic Lennon); and I had no way to test it.

    Today, it's fairly well-known that John states: "Monseur, monseur, monseur, how about another one?" BTW, what did *that* mean? Another take of the song? Another cigarette? Or is it mere Lennon silliness?


    Clearly he was asking the conspiracy controller for the replacement
    Paul, which they obviously got a very convincing one of ;-)))

    The innovative and creative Paul had certainly gone somewhere!

    "Wings At the Speed of Sound" was basically catchy by-the-numbers pop,
    which the radio luvvies lapped up. Silly love songs indeed...

    Reminds me of a joke in an old National Lampoon issue:

    Q: When did Paul McCartney write "Silly Love Songs"?
    A: 1963-present
