About Coming Up, it's not the only McCartney video that throws the idea of two Pauls out there at the very least. Two others that come to mind are "Wonderful Christmastime" and "Ever Present Past" just off the top of my head.

Do you want me to join the board or do you want me to start a blog? You could do both. The decision is yours, the pro of having your own blog is sole control over the broadcast of your ideas.. The pro of posting here vs. a blog is the give and take of ideas that don't work as well on a blog, even with a comments section. (IMO) Either way, people will read it, rest assured.

Great blog post, thanks. Just follow the money, or as David Icke says, "who benefits?". I'd have to put under arrest and handcuffed before consenting to be vaccinated, no thanks. Interesting article about vitamin D and getting sick with colds/flu: www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/51913.phpI haven't been sick with a cold (or anything) in the last four or five years, which coincided with my job being more "outdoorsy" in the same time frame.. So I have to wonder. The exception was just a couple of months ago, I had a nasty cold that wouldn't go away for a couple of weeks, and of course being in the sun is a great way to generate vitamin D.. It's tough to get any rays in the dead of a NH winter.

The virus was a weaponized flu which escaped through negligence, not as a deliberate act. I should add that most likely a deliberate act was in the plans for "someday" in this fictional scenario. However, King was partly inspired by this real life event, the "Dugway sheep incident" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugway_sheep_incidentOne explanation in the aftermath of the incident was that a chemical or biological agent had escaped from the Dugway Proving Ground. Logic dictated that for 3,000 sheep to suffer a near instant death, an agent from Dugway would almost have to be involved. Circumstantial evidence seemed to support this assertion, the United States Army admitted to conducting open-air tests with the nerve agent VX in the days preceding the sheep kill. The Army also intimated that a spray nozzle had malfunctioned during the test causing an aircraft to continue spraying VX as it climbed to higher altitudes. It was also reported that a small amount of VX was found in the tissue of the dead sheep.
Other information contradicted the initial assumptions about the cause of the incident. One contradiction to nerve agent exposure as a cause came in the symptoms of some of the sheep following the incident. Several sheep, still alive, sat unmoving on the ground. The sheep refused to eat, but exhibited normal breathing patterns and showed signs of internal hemorrhaging. Regular breathing and internal hemorrhaging are inconsistent with nerve agent exposure. In addition, no other animals in the area, some much more susceptible to nerve agent poisoning, were affected.There are like 20 pinned threads about this topic at GLP, and well of course DOOM is the stock in trade there. Nevertheless, some interesting points raised, for one that this strain is like the 1918 flu epidemic in that young healthy adults are the ones most likely to suffer the most dire consequences. The reason being that their immune systems are strong enough to mount a strong defense, but the down side being that the response doesn't cut off when the job is done with this strain, gets out of control. The young children and elderly are not affected as badly, unlike what usually happens with the flu. I don't know whether this is a situation of too much panic over something that won't amount to much, or the early days of some serious SHTF.. Can't call it yet.

A real Captain Trips, as depicted in Stephen King's "The Stand".. Well this ain't it. That virus was 100% communicable, except to those with a natural immunity, less than 1% of the population. The virus was a weaponized flu which escaped through negligence, not as a deliberate act.
If that horror ever comes true, we'll know pretty quick..

I should have read May's book more carefully.. The address she gives is 434 East 52nd St., which is indeed very close to the UN. Wanna buy an apartment? Starts at a modest 1.25 million..

Maybe he means the place John shared with May Pang? Best I could get from her book was that the "Plaza was a short walk from their apartment". I'm not a New Yorker, so I don't know whether that fits.. Yes, if you dig it out, I'd sure like to see it.

Jarv and Taf, thanks for your efforts, "pairings" may be a common theme. What comes in pairs? Twins, best friends, a married couple, or perhaps a couple of Pauls.. although there were two of each Beatle on the cover of course.. May have a template here, perhaps look into the similarities each member of the pair has to each other other than the surface stuff?

I didn't win the 'Fireman lottery', but got a limited edition vinyl for 27 bucks. The album is split across two disks, which gives the grooves breathing room. The record store had a live group comprised of a trio of twenty-somethings, and after playing something I'd never heard, played the old timey "Downtown", last thing I expected to hear, heh. www.examiner.com/x-2082-Beatles-Examiner~y2009m4d16-Win-an-Electric-Arguments-Fireman-acetateATO Records has announced that a handful of lucky Paul McCartney fans will be able to own a piece of the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Five 10" vinyl acetate pressings of the song "Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight" will be enclosed in random copies of the vinyl LP of Electric Arguments, by Sir Paul's latest alter ego project, The Fireman.
These collectible, limited pieces (less than 25 pressed worldwide) will be available at randomly selected independent record stores as part of the annual celebration, Record Store Day, this Saturday, April 18th.
Look for details on the scavenger hunt at The Alliance Rocks or CIMS Music. Additionally, fans will have a chance to win one of four collectible UK lithographs from The Fireman. Check CIMS Music for more details.

Been a while since I got some old publications, first time about anything surrounding the Lennon murder. Couple of Daily News (Dec 9 & 10) and The NY Post from Dec 9) Scanned a few.. What I don't understand is how those three bullet holes got into the doorway if the diagram is to believed. The doctor reported that John had seven wounds, two in his arm, three in his chest, and two in his back. If Chapman had emptied all five shots, the amount of wounds could be accounted for: Subtract two for the left arm, leaving three. Then, as John supposedly heard Chapman say "Mr Lennon" and turned to face him, three shots went into the chest, with two exiting out the back, the hollow point bullets not doing what they were supposed to do in two out of three times. Except for one problem.. The bullet holes in the door off to the right... Odd what the witness said in the Dec 9 story from the Daily News: "She said she then saw a man walk over to the building security guard and heard him say, 'I would leave here if I were you'.

Hah, love that comparison to the bag of poo on the doorstep. ;D (and he didn't forget to light it on fire):
I don't understand why you self censored the "F word" in your first sentence, then used it in all its glory in the last.. (we don't have a single censored word in our filter, just technical redirection stuff) I guess you are attempting to show restraint initially, then OMG I can't help myself! (I'm so disgusted)
Interesting subtext to your all caps comment, it seems like you have a problem with the board even existing.. That means you also have a problem with our thoughts.. Should we not express them, would that bring you peace? Not picking on you exactly, just this has come up before, folks who have a problem with expression of ideas they find troublesome, some have said they "don't like" that people think Paul was dead and/or replaced. (some who feel Paul is absolutely dead and that's it are troubled by the idea that some believe he is alive/replaced, but that's another topic)
Anyway, it's simply a waste of time to hope to stop anyone from thinking what they want to think. If anything expressed here bothers you, don't read it, quite simple really.

I think I found important information that proves the Paul of today is not the real Paul. But I can start a blog and post the information there. It would be great if you share your ideas 8749, here would be nice, but.. If you start a blog, let us all know the address.

Searching just one thread isn't what a lot of people need, not enough. However, I did stumble across a workaround.. Instead of searching the entire forum, just search one board at a time, gives the search function much less to digest at once. This way, you can go back 2000 days, and also.. DON'T try for 100 hits, it just gives an error, 50 seems to work.
I was looking for an old thread about Dick Clark, and was able to find it using this method. (thread started five years ago) In other words, search just General, and then just Clues, etc.
Hope this helps.

From the National EnquirerFrail and failing American Bandstand legend Dick Clark, 79 is reeling from a shocking new documentary that may smear his rock 'n' roll legacy!
The controversial film Wage$ of $pin portrays Clark as a corrupt and hated greed-monger who used his power to make and break music careers - and a friend says Clark is distraught that it will overshadow his 50-year career as a hitmaker.
"It's a sad final chapter in the life of a man who was one of the biggest names in television," the friend confided. "This might be Dick's final heartbreak."
The award-winning documentary chronicles the early years of the Philadelphia music scene where American Bandstand was originally produced.
It features interviews with old-time singers and songwriters who blame the clean-cut Clark for shaking down recording artists for lucrative publishing rights before he would air their music on his hit show.
The film also rehashes the 1950s payola scandal in which disc jockeys accepted cash and gifts in exchange for airplay.
Clark was investigated and testified in front of a Senate subcommittee on payola in 1960. While he was allowed to keep Bandstand, he was forced to give up his shares in publishing and record companies.
Artie Singer of Danny and the Juniors, who co-wrote the '50s hit "At the Hop," revealed in the movie that he was told "the record does not go on the air until you give him [Dick Clark] 50 percent of the publishing."
"I saw everybody with their hands out," Singer said. "Artists were getting screwed."
But Singer also called the situation bittersweet because without Clark, "there would be no hit song."I suspect Allen Freed got screwed over by "Dick's" testimony..
