So I was browsing another forum today, and I came across something I had never heard about: A Pepper's Ghost. According to wikipedia: Pepper's ghost is an illusionary technique used in theater and in some magic tricks. Using a plate glass and special lighting techniques, it can make objects seem to appear or disappear, or make one object seem to morph into another. It is named after John Henry Pepper, who first demonstrated the technique in the 1860s. I was just wondering if there was any significance in the naming of the album St Pepper with this illusionary technique. If there is a relation, does it symbolize the Beatles attempt to morph the new Paul (Faul or Bill) into the already well known persona of Paul McCartney? I dunno just thinking out loud. |

I dunno just thinking out loud. taking over what seems to be Letter B's traditional role I'll say it has been discussed, and I'm pretty sure there's even a thread dedicated to it somewhere over there... (hand waving in general direction of a black cave full of stale air. It's an old habit of mine - I used to work in a second-hand bookstore) Anyway, yes it's an interesting subject there's supposedly some connection to the "Dance Tonight" video as well. |

It's in the middle of the sun! (Iameye told us that! ;D) To be precise, she said the G was in the 'center of the sun', which, in iameye-speak, could mean 'centaur of the sun'... SGR... 12/21, the date the sun rises in the galactic center. -j |

The only way to search for things on this site is to go to Google.
There is a search engine here, but it is hopeless.
Go to Google, and type in a few words about what you're looking for, followed by:
"Nothing is Real Paul" in quotes!
That usually does the job.
example: Peppers ghost "Nothing is Real Paul"
