" TK: Yes, I recall meeting McCartney very well. We first met in Detroit and shared a brief hello. Later, he called me to England, Apple bought me a plane ticket, he invited me to sing. We had lunch in London with Linda and Twiggy, Roger Moore and Peter Sellers - and then I went to the studio where Yoko and Ringo and everyone else was assembled. It was the session where it was over [Ringo walked out during White Album sessions]. I went back to New York empty-handed and wrote the song "Saint Paul" on the flight. later, of course, he will learn how to Live and let Die - - i.e. how to step into another man's character and make it his own. What does it matter to ya? when you've got a job to do, you gotta do it well You gotta give the other fellow Hell!

What does it matter to ya? when you've got a job to do, you gotta do it well You gotta give the other fellow Hell! [/i] [/quote] Hmmm.... 1965 : Thunderball. Starts with a fake funeral. Then...(from wiki) "Bond soon finds a dead bandaged man...The dead man is François Derval (Paul Stassino), a French NATO pilot...Derval has been murdered by Angelo, a SPECTRE henchman surgically altered to match his appearance. " 1967: You only Live Twice The movie differs from the original novel, in which Bond fakes his own murder, but it does involves "Turning" him to Japanese. Also, The original novel's ending is "Bond eventually kills Blofeld...but upon escaping, suffers a head injury, leaving him an amnesiac living as a Japanese fisherman...while the rest of the world believes him dead. " (wiki again) 1969: On Her Majesty's Secret Service A new Bond altogether. doubly time for 007... PS does this make Sean Connery "Doubleback Bond?"

Everybody's in the Bahamas Maybe I also need a vacation? I have some distant family on the Island of Saint Paul a pity they don't speak Puffin. Their whole foreign-language education consists of singing "Hare Krishna"

TERRY KNIGHTTerry (Terrence) is the anglicized form of TOIRDHEALBHACH, The name was used in Ireland. It means "instigator", derived from Gaelic toirdhealbh meaning "prompting". On November 1, 2004 Terry Knight was murdered at the age of 61. Knight was stabbed multiple times in a fight with his daughter's boyfriend in their shared apartment in TEMPLE, Texas. SAINT PAULThe PID rumour was first published on 18 September 1969 by Tim Harper for the DRAKE UNIVERSITY'S TIMES-DELPHIC. Interesting name for the newspaper

For a moment I had to stop and think, what does Terry Knight have to do with this, and then I saw the link showing about the song...St. Paul...and recalled the segment on the Winged Beatle....
Strange ending to a strange life story....

Does anyone else think the Maclen business is much ado about nothing? The chorus of the song is deliberately based around the chord progression of "Hey Jude," and that song is quoted along with "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Hello Goodbye" and "All You Need Is Love." Could the meeting with Paul at Apple before its release just be a handshake agreement to get around the copyright infringement? So Lennon/McCartney could still get some compensation while Terry Knight remains the sole songwriting credit? When the soundtrack to The Rutles was released, ATV sued Neil Innes because the original songs he wrote for the project were based on Beatles songs that ATV owned. In lieu of a nasty (no pun intended) protracted court battle, they elected to change the songwriting credits to Lennon/McCartney/Innes. Could it be that a similar arrangement was made with Terry Knight? Or would it be different if Neil wrote a song called "Stig Has Been Dead For Ages, Honestly?" Aren't you missing something? What would prompt Terry Knight, in the first place, to write a song suggesting that Paul McCartney is dead and why would Maclen want to involve itself with such a song? Terry Knight was quite a media manipulator and a bit of a "rights wiggler" as his later work with Grand Funk Railroad demonstrated. The facts of the matter stop at what he's said about the song (ie. it was inspired by his experiences in London at Apple's invitation). The speculation can begin as to what his inspiration means (I'd call it good poetry myself) but one thing's for sure... He produced two versions of the song, one of which clearly reveals the debt to Lennon/McCartney compositions in the arrangement and the other of which was probably an edit to lessen this. I've never established which version was released as a single but would suspect the latter, as the record company and his publishing company would surely have been nervous with the former. But the real interesting hit is WHY he transgressed and here's my speculation: Knight came up with a 'can't lose'. He saw that using bits of beatle songs in the arrangement enhanced the commercial potential of the song and that if there were any legal action, this would draw publicity, further enhancing the connection and the commercial potential. The record company and his publisher, if advised of this in advance, wouldn't have seen a 'can't lose' in this but if he bothered to point it out to them at all, I would bet he argued this point with them. The record's withdrawal and reissue with the MacLen credit have never been firmly established as the result of 'cease and desist' (as far as I've read) so it's possible the first release WAS the 'explicit' version and the record company got worried and reissued off their own bat or that they hadn't quite seen it for what it was at first. Whether brought about by force or not, a standard resolution of this, once agreed it can happen at all, is that the original composers take the lot (witness The Verve's transgression on 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' of Allen Klein-owned Stones turf or any examples of sampling where the sampled composers are either added to the publishing or replace the samplists on the publishing, depending upon many factors including length of quote and disposition of the quoted) It's also possible that Knight, seeing he'd cracked the Billboard 100, reset his whole campaign to try for a bigger score, perhaps having now earned the full backing of record company. EVEN MORE INTERESTING: As some have noted, he was in prime position and physical location to kick off the rumour and could well have been 'the musicians who came through town talking about it' in some origin stories for PID as he and his band were verifiably gigging around the territory at the precise time it first sparked. Once things had kicked off with the rumour, he surely advised his record company of the record's relevance so that they took out a Billboard ad emphasising it. So all in all, I'd speculate that Terry Knight has to be a major suspect as (an?) AUTHOR of PID. Further speculation could have it that he was co-author and cooked it up with Macca and/or The Beatles. There's *some* unlikelihood, given the disarray of Macca's personal affairs (pun intended) at the time and the Beatles/Apple's as he witnessed. BUT, leaving all THAT aside, we're back to the fact of Terry Knight having demonstrably shown 'opportunism' throughout this and other involvements in the record industry. He took a chance. He didn't know what he would find there.

Maybe he supplied the info to Imaphoney.....perhaps not Imaphoney himself, I believe he was the source to work through. It would be a curious thing that Bill would have someone knock off the informant of such info. Very interesting. Cut off the information source...
