I haven't visited this site in a while - as an atheist and somewhat sceptical observer of this site (and involved in the "story" wrongly by accident through the misinformation about my late father) I am obviously a bit cynical about some belief in a greater power (in this case to do wrong). There are conspiracies - but this above is close to faith i.e. belief in something for which there is no proof. Sorry.....my opinion thats all."No problem. I even agree with you! The situation I find myself in right now is a bit awkward.
Our nitwit president and his cohorts are doing everything they can to provoke Iran into a belligerent
action of some sort, so that they'll have an excuse to bomb that country with nuclear weapons.
My sense is that should such an event occur, they'll quickly move to restrict the use of the internet,
and we won't have the luxury of sitting here, opining about whether or not Paul is dead or replaced.
Some lame excuse will be given, and that will be that. Even if that doesn't occur, we'll all probably
be too busy heading for the hills to take the time for a nice leisurely discussion about such matters.
At the same time, I sense that the Beatles were on a mission from
someone to give us some
hope, lest the day should come that our idiot "leadership" should give us no reason to have any.
Since I don't feel that we have the luxury of time being on our side, I feel an urgency to point out
that the Beatles message
was the hope for a time of sanity, in songs like "Here Comes the Sun"
and "All You Need Is Love". Faul's songs like "Coming Up" and "Hope Of Deliverance",
or even "With A Little Luck" all hint at the possibility that not only is all not lost, but that this is,
in fact, the "darkest hour" before the dawn.
There have been many posts here about dark conspiracies where nutty secretive organisations
have been behind the death, and sometimes the replacement, of rock and movie stars. As unpleasant
a thought as that may be, I'd have to say I would put
nothing past some of the political powers
in this country, and the rather suspicious deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, and Jim Morrison alone
are enough to make me grudgingly consider that all may not be well on the music front. It would
make sense that some would choose to have doubles, and go into hiding, especially given
the corrupt and extraordinarily greedy nature of the corporations in this country today.
I don't mean to be paranoid, but the powers-that-be spray chemtrails over us before every rain storm,
and then have the nerve to tell us there's nothing going on.
They want to sell us irradiated food and call it "pasteurized".
They lie, lie, lie, lie, and lie constantly.
I have no doubt that they consider most of us "useless eaters", as Henry Kissinger once said,
and given the chance to kill us all, they probably would. In fact, there is some indication that
that's precisely what they plan to do!
What kind of S.O.B.s would even
consider using nuclear weapons, for
any reason?!
I could go on, my friend, but when I get mad about all of this, and want to grab a gun and
administer some "justice", it helps to remember that somebody apparently cared enough
to tell us that instead of reacting that way, we should listen to the music playing in our heads,
and that while it may be that it's getting very near the end (of the world as we know it),
we have a hope of deliverance from these unbelievable a-holes, and that all we need to do
to endure the present madness is to be attuned to love.
For some of us, at least, that's enough to keep us going, but how sad it is that we have reached
the stage that this even has to be pointed out!
I'd love to think that I'm being unduly pessimistic, but then, who knows what news the day will bring?
"The lunatics are in the hall. The folded paper holds their faces to the floor, and every day the paper
boy brings more!"
Aaaaaaaargh! It's all too true!
I do, with hindsight, have to feel that the Beatles were "sent" to us for the sake of helping us
endure the madness of these times, and if that is the case, then they surely represent something
much bigger than what we've considered here-to-fore. At the very least, they were the band
chosen by somebody(s) to convey a message of hope, both to us (England/America/Australia)
and to the world.
I agree with you more about who wrote the Beatles material than with the host; he did make an interesting point about the Hello Goodbye video however. (Faul's clumsy dancing moves vs. JPM's) 
Aaaaaaaargh! It's all too true!
