Yeah, just sayin'; some claim you can tell the Beatles were replaced because they suddenly changed their clothing & hair style, when the biggest change in style occurred in 1963, and as the article says, reluctantly. The sartorial style they had adopted during Beatlemania was not their original style.
1963 is also when George & Paul’s heights fluctuate unexplainably. Do big changes denote replacements? If so, 1963 should be taken as seriously as 1967.
At 6:15 the interviewer asks Paul if they are going to change their act, and Paul replies, "We'll have to change it, I'm sure. We can't do the same thing all the time." The interviewer than suggests, "Suits with colors on? Brash parting hairs?"

Lennon said in a 1964 interview that he didn’t want to still be singing “She Loves You” when he’s 30.
In Sgt. Pepper’s, the line, “Let me introduce to you, the one and only Billy Shears” introduces Ringo. The first line he then sings is “What would you do if I sang out of tune?” But, like most things the Beatles did, is open to many interpretations.
But not only that, in Yellow Submarine, it is John who is introduced during the “Billy Shears” line.
Is Billy Shers a reference to William Shakespeare, who quite possibly was a fictional character made of composite writers?
(Like The Beatles?)Speaking of Billy Shears and the 1963 film Billy Liar:
Patty Duke starred as the title character in the 1965 film
Billie. In it she has a pet sheepdog.
Patty Duke also had the famous tv show where she played her own identical cousin.
Patty Duke's husband John Astin played his own twin in Candy, which starred Ringo.
Ringo played his own identical doppelganger in the 1978 tv movie Ringo.
Hayley
Mills starred in the original Parent Trap, the theme song to which is "Let's get together,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!" McCartney (allegedly) wrote the soundtrack for her film The Family Way.
Lindsay Lohan played her own twin in Parent Trap (1998). She also played her own twin with the name
Dakota Moss in the film
I Know Who Killed Me, which came out the same year as Chapter 27 in which she played Jude, with Jared Leto as
Mark David Chapman. In I Know Who Killed me, her boyfriend's name is Jerrod.
Jared Leto plays his own identical doppelganger in his band's video
'The Kill (Bury Me)' which was filmed as an homage to
The Shining.
The other members of the band also play their own identical doppelgangers, and towards the end, they perform at a ball in which all the attendees are twins.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvGCAvOAfMJared Leto described the meaning of the ‘The Kill (Bury Me)’, "It's really about a relationship with yourself. It's about confronting your fear and confronting the truth about who you are." He has also said it is about "confrontation as a crossroads" — coming face-to-face with who you really are.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_KillThe three line III design is very similar to glyphs used by Jared Leto’s band, 30 Seconds to Mars.

Jared Leto also starrs as Nemo in Mr. Nobody. Nemo is Latin for 'no man' and can also mean 'no one'. (Nowhere Man?)
He also starred as the
murderer in
Lonely Hearts.
And he played
Paul Allen, the
murder victim in American Psycho, which is rife with mixed identities, just like Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.
He starrs as
Paul Gardner in
Urban Legend.
(In American Psycho, his apartmen overlooks Central Park, as did Lennon’s)
The Beatles For Sale album, inner gatefold image, the lads in front of a mural at Twickenham Studios. Not only is Paul holding a cigarette in his right hand, a la Abbey Road, and the mural quite similar to the Sgt. Pepper crowd, but next to his head is an image of Jayne Mansfield from the film It Takes a Thief. In Which she plays a car thief named
Billie. In 1967 Jayne died in a car wreck and was scalped by the ceiling of the car, thus losing her hair.
Legend has it that the Beatles were inspired to finish recording The White Album after watching The Girl Can't Help It on tv. A film that was a big inspiration to them in their early days.
(was Don't Pass Me By about her?)
Was the Bill meme being planted into the public’s subconscious, in order to accept the PID paradigm?Was there really only one Paul in AHDN? During the concert scene at the end of the film, we have a Paul with a large scar or skin-graft on his left jawline. This is not seen in any of the other scenes, or on any other Paul.
Plus, this one looks at his fingers on the neck of his bass several times while playing, doesn't that mean it's 'Faul'?
One wonders which Beatlemania Paul would be '
the Paul'? Some had cleft chins and some didn't, some had arched eyebrows and some didn't. Some had attached earlobes and some didn't. Some wore wigs and some didn't. Some had mis-aligned upper molars and some had nicely aligned upper-molars.
Which is the case with all the Pauls from the earliest photos to today.
Yet they are all uncanilly 95-98% similar.
As I repeatedly mention: PIDers compare pre-67 photos vs. post-67 photos, but fail to compare photos within each era to each other. Not only are there discrepancies within each era, but there are match-ups across both eras.
If the mustache is covered up, I don’t see how this Paul is any more or less different than any of the other Pauls. Same thing goes if you draw a mustache on other Pauls - they just all look like Pauls with mustaches.
To me it seems that the mustaches weren't there to 'draw attention away from the face' as it draws attention
to the face. It seems the mustaches were there because this is when they began to overtly create the demarcation point of the change-over period for the PID movement - even though it is woven into their work as far back as AHDN, though more sub-textually.
Here is what seems to be the first attempt at implementing the PID motif in earnest. From the February 1967 issue of Beatles Monthly Magazine. the article titled 'False Rumor' states that there was a rumor going around that Paul had died in his car on the M1 motorway. ("Faul's Rumor?")
Notice on this
one page we see an article about a moped,
the ad for the Beatles Book written by Bill Shepherd,
and also an article about the moustaches. Three of the major prominent elements of the enigma all on one page.
(Also remember in 1964, Paul said he'd like to retire in 2 years, as he subtly flips off the camera).And what’s with all the mustache foreshadowing?
Brambell was famous for his character in Steptoe & Son, who was always referred to as a “dirty old man.”
Interesting that in AHDN, Grandpa is a mean, nasty old man, starting fights, womanizing, gambling, forging autographs for money, etc. but on the outside is “very clean”. A metaphor for the Beatles and their music?
(Disclaimer: I know I’m gonna get a lot of flack for that. Hey, I like their music too, but underneath that thin, glossy veneer is all this death, darkness and mystery. -
As was most of the music, film & world events of the '60s. Beneath all the hippy peace & love was political assassination, Vietnam, Occultism, and murders. And with PID we even have rumors of murdrers- Not to mention, the Beatles' lifestyles didn’t match the one that was presented in the teen mags. Richard Lester once said that if AHDN & Help! were actually about their real lives they would have to be rated X).
And like Voodoo, I wonder why The Beatles are always excluded from the exposés on '60s occult activity, like the Laurel Canyon piece.
Interesting that Brambell was arrested in 1962 for homosexual acts in a bathroom in
Shepherd's Bush, and was accused of abusing 2 children in the '70s.
