The car accident story always seemd to be the story given to the "outer circle," and this comports well with that. But the surrounding circumstances still smell of something bigger, and the time gap mentioned here points to that. -- a sequence of events involving missing time and a murder, a staged car accident scene to explain his death, and then a quick reversal and coverup of *that* explanation in favor of a replacement.
I found this flourish to be the most unbelievable: there were also pictures of a bandaged up winner making the rounds at the time as well.
Surely, anyone with access to these news clipping should release them!
I think it's possible a lookalike contest was held casting for talent, but they ultimately settled on someone else. Like maybe a Canadian policeman who had acted as JPM's security decoy in Toronto (and nearby Detroit)?

My question was not political in nature.
Heh. You don't understand your own question.

Hey there, l'il stalker. I can't answer your question without violating this board's "no politics" rule. And since, unlike you, I attempt to be a courteous guest; I'll refrain from doing so. Feel free to direct your inquiries to me privately; but don't be surprised if I ignore them.

Valis, could you expand on the notion of today's Bono being a double?
I fell in my gut this is probably the case, but as I'm not a student of U2, I cannot articulate the case for this propositin intelligibly, and I would lke to read your thoughts on it.
thanx

Hmm, makes one wonder about whose idea backwards speech was, it started in "Tomorrow Never Knows".
Surely you have in your digital library the "Rain" outtake with Lennon singing backwards...

A better comparison would be the Pepper track versus later life performances of the song by Ringo.
At this point, my vote is that it's Lennon imitating Ringo.

64 is certainly JPM sped up.
Leaving Home is almost certainly JPM slowed down
Getting Better -- I'd look for JPM on the chorus, someone else on the verses

doesn't mean you must conclude the person using that fake name in the past went on to be Bill the imposter.
In other words, Billy Shepherd="symbolic of fake name".

It's an interesting concept, the idea of introducing Bill with those lyrics, as if he is speaking from the point of view of Billy Shears, but disguising it as a Ringo song
"Bill Shepherd" aka Billy Shears was a FAKE NAME the Beatles operation had been using since 1963. By introducing the singer as Billy Shears, they are telling you it's not who they say it is. It really could be anyone imitating Ringo: Lennon, FAUL, Mal Evans, Denny Laine, Neil Aspinall,. . . Brian Jones?!

I see it as an artistic choice. If they could imitate JPM, why not imitate Ringo? It was a late choice to even include it on the album, right? I don't think it was necessarily even the man we know as FAUL, but it could have been. Maybe it was Denny Laine?
I'm not convinced FAUL was scheduled to sing on the album at first. I think he probably started demanding more creative input into the music as he found himself able to pull off the public appearances. FAUL is probably on the reprise and maybe "Little Help," but i don't think his voice is elsewhere on the album.

More useful than photos of the guy would be scans (or audio?) of working and/or fiscal documents concerning the Pepperbot venture/s. Hi - you are all still on this thread which surprises me - spell my Dad's name correctly - it is Bill Shepherd. Check out the Bee Gees biography where he has his own section in the index. I will scan some photos of me and my Dad and post them in the next few weeks if I can work out how to do that on this site (please help me on this). Many of you are still on a wild goose chase as regards my Dad and the Beatles. There is no connection other than my Dad and Jimmy Fraser doing the exploitation albums of the Merseysound. The photos are models - not stand ins for Paul and co. - it was just a cheap album shot. I will get some photos of my Dad online soon - he was 5'7" or 5'8" and nothing like Paul - this is quite amusing still. And the thread is desperate linking all these different Sheppards and Sheperds etc. - fertile imaginations or just a desperate lack of facts? Anyway - thought I'd have a look-in to this site and surprised to see still some life on this thread. My Dad died in 1988 - not sure he'd want to be remembered for Billy Pepper and the Pepperpots ! Anyway - good luck with the latest threads - Viv Stanshall definitely did die (very sad to say) and is missed by many. Absolutely no replacement for Paul though - nice try on that one. Many knew him right to the end and he was not a Paul lookalike or part of a plot. Sorry. Gary

Hmm, I have another question for Shepherd fils, if he would be so kind as to attend to the query backlog...
How is it that the Pepperpots released "Don't Tell Me You Don't Know" as a single? Was that common for knockoff bands? This actually charted...
And, BTW - did Shepherd pere ever say anything about in-jokes, double entendre, hidden meanings, etc in any of the Pepperpot albums? (I.e., or did he consider it all purely one-dimensional, acreative dreck?)
I suppose that's more than one question...

Just a standard question. There are still three outstanding, to wit:
What is the etymolgy of pepper/pepperpots?
Where and when were the albums recorded, with what musicians?
One Lou Reed biography claims Reed wrote the songs while working for Pickwick Records in NYC. Comments?

Other questions --

Where and when were the albums recorded, with what musicians?
One Lou Reed biography claims Reed wrote the songs while working for Pickwick Records in NYC. Comments?
To what extent did Shepherd pere know, interact, or colaborate with JPM or George Martin?
Have you yourself been involved in music professionally?
Are you now or have you ever been employed by Sir PAUL MCARTNEY, any affiliated corporations, or any agency of any "member nation" of the British Commonwealth (including but not limited to MI5 or MI6)?
Thanks in advance for your kind help on these matters.

Lennon's craftsmanship in the Pepper cover and Walrus is evident. Both amazingly complex works that unraveled, tell the tale. Evident elsewhere of course. FAUL was a clown in that he was just acting a role. He seems pretty clownish in the Hello Goodbye pantomime. In MMT, it seems in one shot he's dancing around with his balls hanging out -- pretty clowny. I'd say 'Ringo' was seemed less clownish than 'Paul' in MMT. Offscreen, Starkey as the eldest and as least close to JPM was less emotionally involved and able to think more rationally (and plan for his financial future) than John and George. In that sense he was more of a father at this time. (And don't forget his premature gray streak.) I wonder if Lennon realized this synchronicity when he designed the Pepper cover. If the mother is the spiritual leader, then George unquestionably became that after Pepper. You might say that John stopped being in charge and in control, especially when Yoko came into the picture. Perhaps it already started with Pepper. I'm not sure he became more the "craftsman", because he was always that, but perhaps the craftsman role stepped in front, and eclipsed the father role. Ringo as the father is a tough one to see, unless it falls to him by default? The "Paul image" as the clown child, hmm. Putting aside the image some have of him as a clown, is that the image that was being presented after 1966?

Only b/c I waited a few minutes to click post whiole I was in one of my other 50 open windows & tabs. Search my site on google for a more detailed analysis of Faul's Stupor Bowl performances. Or maybe even this board.
To get back on topic, let's play the WBKey game for the 05 SBowl: Poppy Bush: Daddy Clinton: Mommy Patriots: Craftsmen FAUL: Clown
yes? no?

The 2001 New England Patriots won the Super Bowl that year and it was right after 9/11. New England Patriots....The Patriot Act. See the connection?
And during halftime, some British Knight sang a song about "Freedom," to drill it in our head that's why 'they' hate us.
EDIT: 1-2-3 JINX.

I notice your excerpt mentions the Boston Bruins. I wonder if an analysis in this vein has been done of Manchester United & MATT BUSBY...
