Supposedly Paul McCartney died in 1966 and they replaced him with William Shears Campbell, a Paul McCartney look-alike who won a Paul McCartney look-alike contest back in 1966. And when I said it's good the man is alive and not really dead I was just kidding around figuring you would know all about the hoax. And Billy Shears of course is the lead singer of the fictitious band Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band that the Beatles recorded by the name Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. They even introduced Billy Shears at the beginning of the song With a Little Help from My Friends that is on the Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. I hope you can figure that out. It's pretty simple. Look it up.

I've loved the guy as well since 1964 (I'm an original Beatlemaniac in my early 60s!) but he's not as honest as you think he is. I am NOT trying to put him down because like all original Beatlemaniacs, to me he's like a brother that I've never met. Unless you grew up while the Beatles were together you can never really know the depth of feeling we had, and still have, for those guys. Paul does tend to revise history to make himself look even better than he is. He doesn't have to lie to make himself look good because he is a generally very nice person and he's given the world more happiness than probably anyone else in the 20th century but, for some reason, he stretches the truth a lot. Maybe it's insecurity or maybe his ego is bigger than most and all the great things he's done aren't enough in his own mind. I think it may be both but who knows? In the end, I think that of all four of them, he's handled his fame the best and has managed to stay relatively more mentally healthy and level headed than the other three but he's not the blameless angel that a lot of people make him out to be. I would say these same kind of things about my real brother if necessary but I still love the guy.
