More Pilgrim Progress

UPDATE: New YouTube Channel claims to be separate from Iamaphoney, but links IAAP to Neil Aspinall. The host also claims a connection to Apple. The Point of View seems reminiscent of TKIN.

This looks like another Pilgrimage. These videos should be dusted for Iamaphoney's fingerprints.

Message From John by Y0KOONO.


According to the Abbeyrd Beatles News Site, Paul McCartney's spokespeople issued a statement denying that the "Electric Arguments" album contains a hidden message intended for Heather Mills. Apparently "some bloggers" have suggested that the statement "Warmer than the sun, cooler than the air," (which can be heard when you play the end of the track "Don't Stop Running" backwards) means that Paul has a warm heart and Heather has a cold heart. Of all the rumors that have swirled around Mr. McCartney in the past two years, one month and seventeen days, this is the one they felt was important enough to deny.

Rotten Apple 72

Update #2: See "Observation 2" below.

Update: See "Observation" below.


"Just a good, uh, replica." I have not ever seen that footage.

Here it is: Rotten Apple 72 by Iamaphoney.
_____________________________________________________________________
Observation: The picture below is from the cover of the vinyl E.P. "Amoeba's Secret" by Paul McCartney, which has been nominated for two grammy awards. The back cover features a semi-completed Wordsearch puzzle with information about the record.


The last row of letters shown in this frame from Rotten Apple 72 is interesting. It is actually the 9th row of the puzzle. As you can see by my copy below, the letters in the ninth row are: E O V O B M I C A U S E N N L If you take the Letter 1 "E" and then go 2 letters, you have "V" and then 4 letters, you have "I" and then 8 letters you get "L." Okay, so that Rotten Apple 72 (7+2=9) and Row #9, and letters 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 making the word "Evil." Don't you just love randomness?

Observation 2

"Really, that's out of the past, that." This sentence shown visually in Rotten Apple 72 is dialog from the "Let It Be" sessions. Here is some context:

George: (???)... really making a film now
Ringo: mmm...
Paul: ...what you're saying. Yesterday, it's good.
George: (???)
Paul: It's like the castle paints. Well, you start from
nothing. `Cause, you know, we started from nothing, and it'll end up
as a T.V. show. And then I always sort of...
Ringo: (???)
Paul: (???)
[crossfade]
John and Paul (singing): ... she said she's traveling on the one
after 909.
Paul: O.K. Alright.
George: Should do it.
Paul: Oh yeah, should. I think that...
John: No, no. I've got a...
Paul: That's one of the first ones. Really, that's out of the past,
that.
John: (???) change the words a bit (??)
Paul: But, no, it's great. One after 909.
Paul: (??)
Paul: She's on a train...
John: Yeah, he goes to the station...
Paul: ...and he sort of...
Paul: ...and he goes back and finds he got the wrong number, so...
George: Wrong location.
John: To rhyme with station, you know.
Paul: That's great. Railman said you got the wrong location.
Well...great. (???) saying you should that for years. (???) you know,
Mike, you don't understand about these things, you know.
John: (??)
Paul: Yeah
John: (???) could do other things.
John and Paul (singing): Woke up in the morning, I don't feel blue.
'Coz I know, I've got you.
Get the funny feeling, all day and night.
Get the funny feeling, you don't treat me right.
Should I read your letter, and then I know
Well, I felt much better
Because I know you love me so.
Paul: (???) (singing) Because I know you lo-o-ove me so.
Paul: and we'd always just (singing) Because I kno-ow you lo-ove me
so.
John and Paul (singing): Woke up in the morning, I don't feel blue.
'Coz I know, I've got you.
Get the funny feeling, all day and night.
Get the funny feeling, you don't treat me right.
Should I read your letter, and then I know
Well, I'd have felt much better
Because I know you love me so.

And here is some footage of Paul McCartney at HMV today in London. He appears to be bigger than life.

Message From Geoffrey Giuliano

The prolific and controversial author of "The Beatles: A Celebration" and several others has a new Beatles related project. The focus of the new release is this guy:



This was the message I received:

Hi

This is Geoffrey Giuliano. You may view my laterst outrage at:

Giuliano is apparently spending his time these days in Bangkok, Thailand. The page appears to still be under construction, but it looks like there will be a special pre-publication price.

I realize that this is a free plug, but I would probably do this for anyone who visits this blog and asks. If you think this plug is bad, wait until Vince's book is out in print!

Let's hope this is a more favorable depiction of John Lennon than what we have seen and heard lately.

The Dichotomy

I have been arguing for quite some time (rather unsuccessfully) that Iamaphoney's videos depict two Paul McCartneys. The universal love object Paul McCartney may not get as much coverage in Rotten Apple videos as the sinister Crowley follower, but I believe there are examples of Paul, which reflect John Lennon's famous statement that "We're all Christ and we're all Hitler." John reportedly wanted both on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to drive home this point, not just about Paul but in reference to all four Beatles.

This dichotomous idea has been expressed by the Beatles on many occasions, sometimes referring to all four, but nearly as often, focusing solely on Paul.

On Sgt. Pepper we have two sets of Beatles, one wearing strange uniforms and the other looking like the lovable moptops, but made of wax.



The next project, Magical Mystery Tour featured the four musicians, but also the four or five magicians.



Complicating Magical Mystery Tour was the fact that four were dressed in animal costumes, which covered their faces, leaving some ambiguity about who was who.



Most real Beatles fans were able to easily determine the identities of the Beatles in the animal costumes, but there were some deliberate actions on the part of the Beatles to confuse things. They donned the animal costumes for John's "I Am The Walrus" sequence, but all copies of the record sleeve had the words "'No, you're not,' said little Nicola" after the song title.



"Yellow Submarine" revisited the Beatles and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band dichotomy. The scene "Hey Bulldog," which was cut from the American version featured the Beatles and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band dressed identically and confusing the hell out of the bulldog. At one point Paul is running with his counterpart.



The White Album poster featured two Pauls, the one we know, who was looking a bit disheveled in some of the pictures and then this guy:



On "Abbey Road" the second Paul was either extremely subtle, or the product of an overly vivid imagination. In addition to the barefoot Paul on the front cover, some people see a part of Paul's face in the elbow of the girl walking by in a dress on the back cover.



Another contestable one would be the cover of the Beatles album released in America that had two names. "Hey Jude" also known as "The Beatles Again" had a picture of the Beatles in a doorway, but embedded in the top of the doorway in the same cover was another picture of the Beatles.



The "Let It Be" album seems to be a conspicuous exception to this alter egos pattern, unless you listen to the record itself where John keeps referring to strange artist parody names as if they are the performers. John says, "That was Can you dig it by Georgie Wood, and now we´d to do Hark the Angels Come" between the songs "Dig It" and "Let It Be." The book "Many Years From Now" suggests that Paul was more angry about that than he was about the strings and women singers on "The Long and Winding Road." The album even begins with John saying, "I dig a pygmy by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids; phase one in which Doris gets her oats!"

One could even argue that the Red and Blue greatest hits albums that feature the Beatles in nearly identical poses at the same location six years apart is yet another way to suggest alter egos or dual identities.

Most people seem to be of the opinion that the Rotten Apple series depicts Paul McCartney as purely evil, and they may be correct. But I have noticed some subtle references that could be interpreted in the other direction. Most people spotted the Beatles' "T" turning into a Christian cross. But, in several of the videos there are grids of letters that come from the Bible. One particular grid is from the Old Testament book of Judges.



This particular passage deals with Ehud, a warrior who was chosen as a deliverer to the Israelites. The people were being oppressed by King Eglon of Moab. Ehud took care of Israel's problem by stabbing the big fat king (who probably had a big fat toe) with his double-edged sword. The two-edged sword idea implies a dichotomy. In the book of Revelation, Jesus is identified with a double-edged sword to imply both mercy and judgment. Was this particular Bible passage chosen by random chance out of some conspiracy Bible Codes video or was Iamaphoney trying to imply that there are two Paul McCartneys, a double-edged sword if you will?

Again, the evidence is admittedly weak. Also, even if the video was implying a dichotomy of some sort, does it refer to a Jekyll and Hyde type character, an impersonator, or two physical Paul McCartneys?

I don't know the answer. But in addition to having a four-letter name and being portrayed with a double-edge sword, the Bible makes a special point of telling us one more characteristic about Ehud that he happens to share with Paul McCartney. Ehud was left-handed.

Coincidence?

According to the Abbeyrd Breaking News Blog, Paul McCartney will be in HMV store in London on December 21. Paul will be signing copies of the Fireman album "Electric Arguments."

That's a strange coincidence because that block on Iamaphoney's YouTube channel that been interpreted as a schedule has, for at least a week, had an entry for "80021221," which could be interpreted as December 21, 2008.



Was it just luck or did Iamaphoney actually get inside information about Paul's activities before they were announced to the public? Maybe they have arranged a secret meeting at St. Paul's Cathedral, which is only about six minutes away from the store.



Best case scenario - Paul introduces his protege Iamaphoney and gives away free copies of the new album called "Iamphoney," produced by Paul McCartney and featuring the new single, "St. Paul."

Worst case scenario - Well, Paul McCartney has the best security team in the world, so there will not be a worst case scenario.

In happier news, I heard the song "Highway" on the radio today. Not bad at all.
