My parents still live up there, near the home he bought his Dad in Gayton. I know what you mean Michael, about being defensive about them. I'm actually quietly annoyed at myself for getting it wrong, although I still have in the back of my mind that Billy Shears was supposedly the real name of Paul's replacement, as well as Ringo's alter ego, but I can't find my "serious" Beatle books (eg Hunter Davies's excellent book) where maybe I read that....? Not got the latest Fireman album (is it three now he's done?) First one put me off, but love all the other stuff. Didn’t know he’d done it on the Wirral!

Check out the Paperback Writer and Rain films shot in the garden setting, he has the chipped tooth in the films. didn't mean to sound condescending in last post. you know, i get emotional over Beatles, lol. yes Paul is a twat sometimes, but he's Paul McCartney: the greatest songwriter of the 20th century, maybe even the 21st. The Fireman rocks!

Anyway, it was all a load of crap invented by some American DJ, other "clues" being Paul wearing a black rose on MMT, whilst the other three wear red, Paul facing backwards on the SP sleeve (think I read somewhere Paul had chipped one of his teeth) etc, etc blah blah blah! James... spot on sadly. Great musician but a bit of a twat sometimes! But still also one of my heroes.

I am a big fan of john lennon .. but. He abandoned stuart sutcliffe when they were chased from a bar into an alley ? John jumped a fence/wall - stuart got a good beating - kicked in the head , died later from this , should john have ' backed his friend up ' ? He was abandoned by his mother julia . Ends up doing the same thing to his wife and small child julian , after taking up a divorced flake of an artist - yoko. He and yoko are never separated - he brings her to the recording sessions everyday she sits beside him constantly adding her imput to the music . bad move - don't bring your wife to work with you -the others must have hated the interferance. Starts shooting off his mouth in rolling stone. etc - complaining about all kinds of things- social issues , paul , very opinionated , angry . Hello , I like you as a musician , who asked you for your political views on everything !! I did'nt care . Yoko and John become a joke - too much attention to everything to enlighten us . wearing all white , etc - so phoney . On a television show Mike Douglas, yoko and john phoned strangers and yoko told them that she loved them - how stupid and phoney to do that - what an idiot . Yoko kicks him out from the apt. in newyork to get his shit together , he goes to LA to hang around with harry neilson and get drunk and act like an asshole and get thrown out after heckeling a performer - yoko sends him there with a sex/girlfriend so he would not find any competition ,to her . At the time of his death , he has seen julian less than a few times , he did not support his ex-wife , and only gave enough $ for clothing and education. Julian had a part time job to help out himself and his mother . John was a great artist , but no much of a person . The guy who killed him thought he was a hippocrite . Anyone like to add to this or respond ? In spite of his mistakes , I am still a big fan - Don’t get me wrong…. I am a big fan of john lennon .. but.

God, there'd be a field day for some posters on here if that was all happening now! Sad that any of 'em die, but it can seem like there's some kind of horrible curse on the Beatles.... Brian Epstein, Mal Evans, Maureen Cox, Linda McCartney, John and Paul's Mums, Stuart Sutcliffe and many others dying young or "before their time" at least.
