In my last post I described The Bonzo Dog Band's track, Trouser Press and how it connected to The Beatles' '67 Christmas Record mini-drama about--I'm guessing--Paul's car accident. Fans will remember that The Bonzo Dog (Doo Dah) Band was involved in the new, new Beatles 1967 "extravaganza" Magical Mystery Tour movie when Vivian Stanshall sang the Paul-Is-Dead/Replaced song, Death Cab For Cutie. You can listen to Trouser Press on Youtube at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoWs8ER6PJo . The laughter and "raw meat" comment I mentioned in my last post is at the end of the song at 2:16-2:19 in the video. I am working on getting an uploaded reversal of that passage. Again, the reversal says "Hey, Paul" and then the laughter.

- For original Beatles fans, 1966 was a strange year. The "Butcher" cover and John's "more popular than Jesus" comment signaled that something was wrong with The Beatles. By 1967, we heard a different voice than Paul's on Penny Lane and we saw a different face in photos. Most of us abandoned Beatle fandom. In 1969, the "Paul is Dead" clues surfaced and were so strong and consistent, that many people wondered if that was the answer to the puzzling changes in Paul's voice and looks. People have been looking into that possibility from 1969-on but have not been able to document what happened to Paul. My generation deserves to know the truths about the group that we loved and made famous. So the search is on . . .
