One month after Rotten Apple #77 alluded to the birth of the Paul Is Dead rumor in Detroit, Michigan, an article called "Paul Is Dead" rumor fascinates, 40 years after it took off locally" has been published on annarbor.com.
The author, Will Stewart, interviewed former WKNR in Detroit Disc Jockey Russ Gibb, who was featured in RA #77 saying, "There is one piece of information that somebody gave me in London about this whole story that, I'm not sure that it's key, but it certainly is important." Gibb said this in the film "Who Buried Paul McCartney?"
Gibb disappointed me in the article by using the word "flipped" instead of "freaked" but nevertheless his first experience in hearing "Revelation 9" backwards had a lasting impression on him.
Like many people, Gibb suspects the Beatles were in fact the cause of the Paul Is Dead rumors in the first place by intentionally putting clues in their songs.
The article did however contain one surprise. Gibb claimed that Paul McCartney himself sent word that he wanted to meet with him several years ago during a tour stop in Detroit. Amazingly, Gibb declined the invitation.
Happy belated birthday to John Lennon. October 9 passed by rather quietly this year, but I suspect there are revelations just beyond the horizon.

ReplyDeletea pc in the u.s is a windows computer
ReplyDeleteTrue. For whatever reason, a pc (personal computer) means one operationg on windows, in the US.
Apple computers are not considered PCs. Why? I don't know.
I think it was an easy way to reference which computer system was being addressed in the nerd literature, and it just stuck.
apple vs pc
as opposed to having to say: DEll, Emachines, Hewlett-Packer, etc.

ReplyDeleteThe Shoshone "Ladies Fancy Shawl Dance" Butterfly Legend
ReplyDeleteMany, many years ago when the Earth was still quite new, there was a beautiful butterfly who lost her mate in battle. To show her grief, she took off her beautiful wings and wrapped herself in a drab cocoon. In her sadness, she could not eat and she could not sleep and her relatives kept coming to her lodge to see if she was okay.
Of course she wasn't, but she didn't want to be a burden on her people so she packed up her wings and her medicine bundle and took off on a long journey. She wandered about for many days and months, until finally she had gone all around the world.
On her journey she kept her eyes downcast and stepped on each stone she came to as she crossed fields and creeks and streams. Finally, one day as she was looking down, she happened to notice the stone beneath her feet, and it was so beautiful that it healed her sorrow.
She then cast aside her cocoon, shook the dust from her wings, and donned them once more. She was so happy she began to dance to give thanks for another chance to begin her life anew. Then she went home and told The People about her long journey and how it had healed her.
To this day,The People dance this dance as an expression of renewal, and to give thanks for new seasons, new life, and new beginnings.

ReplyDeleteHuh. In this alternate world of PID, a world where people chat incessantly about old Beatle cartoon clips and Egyptian symbols as though they have some PID relevance, it is most telling that no one wants to address the pertinent info in the article Taf posted. You see, the PID phenomenon will never get more press than recently, because it is the anniversary, and this means that this little blurb Taf posted is pretty much the pinnacle of PID related news. And yet not a mention of Iamaphoney. More important, La Bour said he perpetrated clues (including the car crash concept) to demonstrate how people foolishly read into things. He thought the whole enterprise was funny. No one wants to discuss that of course. Gibb thinks the Beatles put in some clues deliberately to boost album sales. Sure doesn't think Paul actually died. There you have it. No mystery at all. Just people looking for and finding whatever clues they subjectively believe fit the premise. That's why no further evidence ever comes forward. There isn't any. But "Shoes" was a cool mix and I do like the editing.
ReplyDeleteGood night, sleep tight PID world.
Don't waste too much more of your lives on it, though. All you'll end up with is fewer moments to spend on yourselves.

So at NIR they posted the Russ Gibb interview. ANd even though Gibb and LaBour both made extremely clear that Paul is not Dead, and that, in fact, both contributed to what they say was a rumor or deliberate hoax, the desperate NIR folk have to cling to one sentence, when Gibb said of McCartney "He's already with the immortals anyway," as if this is a wink wink about his being dead. Duh. He means that Paul is a legendary immortal recording artist because his music will live on after his death. He is with the immortals, and one probably could have said that about him in 1966 as well. Folks, when you can't even accept what the principal parties themselves say about PID, you are delusional. Would you prefer someone take their statements out of context to make it look as though they believe PID? Would that make you feel better about your losing battle?
ReplyDeleteAt least accept what they say and then hypothesize that the Illuminati paid them to say it; anything. But stop with this "aha, he didn't really mean what he said" b.s. that only zealots cling to when their beliefs have been shattered. It's stubborn, juvenile and embarrassing.
