Paul McCartney as a rigorous intuition subject.

Read Dick Russell's 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' which I cited in the 'Buckaroo Bonzai' thread. Then 'Angel Heart' will make more sense.

I saw that thread, haven't looked at it yet. It just brought back memories of BIG-BOOTIE!

Mr. PHONY has a couple of new clips.

I've often heard that 'touching your face' when you talk signifies a lie. I've seen Paul do it a few times, and it didn't hit home until I saw Gibby Hanes do it in "The Devil And Daniel Johnson" when he was asked if he had given Daniel any LSD.

Let me know if YOU see anything I don't.

RIP Neil Aspinall

McCartney fans hail 'Mills' song
Sir Paul McCartney
Sir Paul has said that all characters in his songs are made up
Fans of Sir Paul McCartney have been claiming a track on his latest album Memory Almost Full is about his break-up from ex-wife Heather Mills.

Mister Bellamy, the sixth track on the album, is an anagram of "Mills betray me" and fans on internet forums say it is about his divorce.

They cite lines including "I'm not coming down, no matter what you do".

Last year, Sir Paul, 65, said of characters on his songs: "I just make them up."

On Monday, it was revealed that Mills had been awarded £24.3m in her divorce settlement with Sir Paul.

Forum posts

Other lines in Mr Bellamy include: "No-one to tell me what to do, no-one to hold my hand."

One fan wrote on an internet forum: "Paul writes metaphorically.


Who is Mr Bellamy? Well, I never know who these people are
Paul McCartney speaking last June

"He can write a song about his relationship with Heather without actually saying the words Heather, wife, divorce or mistrust."

Another wrote: "Macca wouldn't be so blunt as to write a song specifically about someone, or a situation, and then say so, but you'd have to be a fool not to understand that he does write these songs."

Speaking in a video clip on the Memory Almost Full website last year, Sir Paul said: "Who is Mr Bellamy? Well, I never know who these people are.

"Who is Chuck and Dave from When I'm 64? Who is Eleanor Rigby? Who is Desmond and Molly from Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da? I don't know, I just make them up."

He added: "I like giving characters names and just making them up and trying to make them fit."

[compared2what?]

"Who is Chuck and Dave from When I'm 64? Who is Eleanor Rigby? Who is Desmond and Molly from Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da? I don't know, I just make them up."

Right. But is our children learning?

The third song on that list is an offense to anyone who enjoys music, although if they feel like forgiving it, fine by me. Not crazy about the first one, either.

"Mr. Bellamy" to me suggests "the husband of my belle." So, implicit Michelle. But, duh, "linda" in Spanish means much the same thing as "belle" in French. They aren't synonymous but, as Sir Paul may have said to himself: "They is close enough."

I should note that I've never heard the song, or the cd it's on. Mais sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, on a syllable-to-syllable level. Okay. Bored now. And since it's my post, if I am, you guys must b......Zzzzzzzz.

ON EDIT: corrected not-thinking-induced typo.

Well, all I know is, there is a new Firman disc coming out soon. NO WORDS (for my love). I enjoyed the last one "Rushes". More than the last three album Mr. MACCA has put out.

Hm. Any Google street view possibilities, I wonder? Such things are often Mailbox Unlimited type services, not actual suites.

WOW! Nice work. I was so busy reading all the comments on both his and other YouTube sites, I didn't even think to look there. I'll really be surprised if this is an 'inside job'!

[whipstitch]

The suitcase (briefcase actually) that was hidden in the bushes has been found (scroll about halfway down). It was apparently hidden somewhere near where the Spahn Ranch (Manson Family Hangout) was and contained among other things, a copy of Crowley's Book of the Law.

Yep, AND a copy of "The Magic Christian" soundtrack! I decided to watch the film again, and MAN! Talk about a glimpse into the FUTURE! It had our "Fear Factor" society DOWN, didn't they?

On Mar 08, 2008, Hugh Manatee Wins said:

The Beatles 1966 trip to the Phillipines (sic) seems to have included government sabotage of their appearance and media manipulation which led to violence there and at their next stop in India. They retired from public performing that year.

HMW is suggesting that sinister forces were behind the Beatles Manila fiasco. Although HMW does not come out and say it, I interpreted his assertion - and please correct me if I'm wrong - as some type of government-sponsored psychological warfare/propaganda effort to discredit the Beatles as, ostensibly, a disruptive social phenomenon.

Well, I've just finished reading The Beatles: The Biography by Bob Spitz, and I'm inclined to view the Beatles' problems in the Philippines as stemming from their turning down Imelda Marcos's invitation to a morning reception. See excerpt from book here.

Although Spitz's book does not explain definitively what happened, it appears that Brian Epstein had made the decision to turn down the invitation when it was received while the Beatles were in Japan, their previous stop. At any rate, either the "Regrets" reply did not reach the Marcos staff on time or Marcos ignored their answer and planned the palace function as if it had been accepted. There was no way, apparently, that Brian Epstein would have reversed his decision since the Beatles had had their fill of such receptions where everybody and their uncle would bring their kids along for the inevitable screamfest. After their evening show - their second concert of the day in Manila - the Beatles discovered that their escort out of the stadium had disappeared. They made a very difficult and harrowing escape from the Philippines because every Philippino seemed to have taken it personally that the Beatles had snubbed their President. So, to me, the Manila fiasco was the result of a bad public-relations decision made by Brian Epstein (perhaps he was convinced that the Beatles would have turned it down anyway).

As for India and the violence there, I wouldn't know. It is at their stop in India that the Beatles decided not to tour anymore (p. 625 of Spitz's book).

Here's a four-part series linking the Paul is Dead myth to Crowley, Manson, Kenneth Anger, Brian Jones, the kitchen sink, and just about everything else you can think of!

"Following the apocalypse, two old friends meet in a deep underground military base and discuss the possibility that the original Paul McCartney was replaced in late 1966."

I, too, have become far more fascinated in this subject than I should be. But, the fact stands that there are quite a few very strange and perhaps sinister things going on in this story.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7, all good children..." is a smoking gun. Supposedly, the reason Manson went off was because he had been jilted by his rock star and music insider friends. They had cast him off, and so he couldn't have had any access to demos of the Beatles by that time. And yet, that phrase was painted on their door well before the release of Abbey Road. Either it was an incredible synchronicity, or there is some nefarious link here.

I've always considered the Paul Is Dead myth to be the birth of viral marketing. It was an inside joke and game that was exploded when Abbey Road was released, and a DJ in Detroit was called and told that Paul was dead, and to listen to Revolution 9 backwards. They feared that record sales had peaked, and decided to give us a fresh reason to scurry out to the record stores once more.

However, I sometimes wonder if it wasn't a hastily-thought up cover story for something else. The Beatles certainly were mixing with a dark crowd when Kenneth Anger was around them, and they very likely met Manson when hanging out with mutual friend Terry Melcher. The Rosemary's Baby association takes it a step further. What the hell is going on here? The Beatles seemed to be up to their eyeballs in satanism.


I always had the sense that the Sgt. Pepper cover had a story to tell, and that it had nothing to do with Paul dying. Were they reporting on what they experienced while hanging out with these mad people, and then realized that they were in over their heads, and scrambled to create a diversion?

We'll probably never know, but the truth certainly is out there somewhere. It's not in those iamaphoney videos, though. That whole thing has been like an onion peeling down to nothing. It may well be that the project was compromised and curtailed before it got too revealing, but it has certainly run dry before coming to any real revelation. It's a shame.
