I have written this story about the clues surrounding the Paul Is Dead rumour the went around in the late 60?s. For anyone who doesn't know the clues read the bits below. If you already know just read the story!!
Abbey Road LP
Front Cover |
|
|
| * The Beatles are crossing the street in what appears to be a funeral procession. John in white represents the minister, or God. Ringo, in a suit, represents a pallbearer or mourner. Paul, in baggy clothes and without shoes, is the corpse and George, in dirty work clothes, is the gravedigger. |
|
|
| * Paul is out of step with the other Beatles, as if he doesn't belong with them anymore. |
|
|
| * Paul's eyes are closed to signify being dead. |
|
|
| * Paul is holding a cigarette with his right hand, but Paul was left handed. |
|
|
| * The license plate on the car on the left side reads LMW 28IF. The LMW stands for Linda McCartney weeps. At the time Abbey Road came out Paul would have been 28 but only IF he had lived. |
|
|
| * There is a police van parked on the right side of the road. This is the type of van that is usually sent to the scenes of bad traffic accidents. |
|
|
| * A car appears to be headed directly at Paul. |
|
|
Back Cover
* The dots, when connected, form a 3. |
|
|
| * There is a white skull in the picture. |
|
|
* On the right edge is the picture of a woman, Rita.
* There is a crack through the letters that spell out Beatles
* Song Clues
* Come Together-"Come together, right now, over me" they are gathered over Paul's grave. "One and One and One is Three" -The three Beatles.
* Golden Slumbers-"Once there was a way, to get back home"-Paul can't come back anymore. "Golden slumbers fill your eyes"-Paul has died and went to heaven.
* She Came In Through The Bathroom Window-"So I quit the police department, and got myself a steady job" -William Campbell had been a police officer, but he got a better job, as a Beatle
When all these clues are combined together, it does seem like there could have been some truth to the rumour. But gradually it died out. Still, we'll never know why all the clues were there. Was it intentional by the Beatles, or purely a coincidence? Whatever it was, it is interesting to think about. The story is about what may have happened if the Beatles had indeed made up the story themselves. |
