I think that Paul McCartney is a nice bloke and I really like him.

AIBU?

(I honestly think this. I wish he wouldn't dye his hair that awful Autumn Russet shade and I wish he'd stop doing Hey Jude all over the gaff, but he's a nice man)

But she ain't messin' with no broke Beatle.

I think Paul McCartney wrote 'Hey Jude' for Julian Lennon when his parents divorced.

It was originally 'Hey Jules' but it was changed to Hey Jude because it scanned better.

I really really do think god this is so unkind that Macca DID think that by seeing Heather AT FIRST it was great for his creds to be involved with a woman with a disability.

I get the vibe he really fed off that one.

but I am happy he seems happy with the new one so all's good and yes he seems nice Marmalade so YANBU.

Yes that's true, flippinada.

And IIRC, Thumbsaloft took care of Julian, in a fatherly way, after Lennon buggered off with that Yoko Ono.

There. Another reason that he's not a bad old stick.

I think Julian looks a lot like his Dad. This is an old (obviously staged) pic but you can really see the likeness :

Julian is a dead ringer for his dad.

The other one, Sean... he is, erm, interesting.

Julian is supposed to be a really nice bloke. I think that's probably because he wasn't exposed to his arsehole dad so much.

Sean doesn't look much like either of his parents, does he?

Well I wish he would retire his voice now, because ... I'm afraid he's lost it. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Was there not a conspiracy theory saying the real Paul died and an imposter took his place. There is something a bit different about him compared to what he used to be like. Apart from ageing by fifty years that is!

Yes, I see what you mean - he does look like his dad, but with his mum's colouring:

The thing that makes visiting this thread all worthwhile after all is that link to Dave Gahan. Phooarrr, he was sex on a stick. That's all.
Thanks, I've been crying tonight (for crap, spurious reasons only) and "Dave" cheered me up.

But what is the point of the McCartney is really dead conspiracy. What's it all about? If he did die, why would they bother replacing him? It's just...weird.

It's really weird. Why didn't they replace Lennon too?

Has anyone got any weird and wonderful links to the conspiracy theory?

It makes no sense anyway - bizarre theory...

And YANBU, the man is lovely. I would love to meet Macca.
