Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, our original plan was to make JFK X, which
- 0:03Speaker 1: I really believe just blew the lid off of the
- 0:06Speaker 1: entire zeitgeist. And we'll probably never get credit for it,
- 0:10Speaker 1: but it is really, I believe changed the way that
- 0:14Speaker 1: people look at a lot of things. And then it
- 0:16Speaker 1: was a clockwork shining. And then we have plans to
- 0:19Speaker 1: do a third movie, which was going to kind of
- 0:22Speaker 1: revolve around the Beatles. Now we are, We've decided to
- 0:26Speaker 1: do something different with that, but I want to get
- 0:31Speaker 1: your thoughts and your opinions on exactly what happened with
- 0:36Speaker 1: John Lennon and this reported car accident where they then
- 0:39Speaker 1: replaced him.
- 0:41Speaker 2: So the story goes, early morning, September 11th, 1966, Paul
- 0:50Speaker 2: McCartney had just been told by his manager, Brian Epstein,
- 0:54Speaker 2: that he had to have, John and him had to
- 0:58Speaker 2: have 10 songs done, recorded in time for Christmas. And
- 1:05Speaker 2: as anybody who knows songwriting, that's a tall order. 10
- 1:11Speaker 2: songs in what? September, October, November?
- 1:14Speaker 3: Four months?
- 1:15Speaker 2: That's a tall order to write 10 songs. And he
- 1:18Speaker 2: stormed out of the studio. It was like 4.35 in
- 1:21Speaker 2: the morning. Sun was coming up. And he jumped in
- 1:26Speaker 2: his car and he was driving down the road and
- 1:29Speaker 2: he saw a really cute girl. And she recognized him
- 1:36Speaker 2: and he picked her up in the car and she
- 1:38Speaker 2: was flirting heavily with him. He missed the red light,
- 1:42Speaker 2: ran through it, got smacked by a vehicle, got beheaded
- 1:49Speaker 2: and died on the spot. John was in Germany shooting
- 1:56Speaker 2: How I Won the War.
- 1:57Speaker 3: It was a movie that he was in.
- 2:00Speaker 2: And Brian Epstein called up John and said, you know,
- 2:05Speaker 2: Paul's dead. And John completely lost his shit. And it
- 2:11Speaker 2: was well known that the Beatles all had doubles. What
- 2:14Speaker 2: they would do is their doubles would come in dressed
- 2:16Speaker 2: as the Beatles in the front door of the hotel
- 2:19Speaker 2: where all the girls were screaming. And the real Beatles
- 2:21Speaker 2: would come through the back door. you know, with masks
- 2:24Speaker 2: and glasses and hats and stuff, all disguised. So the
- 2:28Speaker 2: Beatles all had doubles. That's a known fact. And Brian Epstein,
- 2:35Speaker 2: trying to keep the corporation going, you know, chose the
- 2:39Speaker 2: double that he had chosen for Paul. And that guy's
- 2:43Speaker 2: name was Billy Shears. He was six foot three. Paul
- 2:47Speaker 2: was six feet. So that was a serious problem there. And, but,
- 2:51Speaker 2: with the combing of the hair and the dyeing of
- 2:53Speaker 2: the hair. He had different eye color, so that was
- 2:57Speaker 2: kind of a problem. So then he flew out to,
- 3:01Speaker 2: he flew the new Paul, Billy Shears. Billy Shepherd is
- 3:06Speaker 2: his name. John called him Billy Shears, because you Shears,
- 3:10Speaker 2: Shepherd uses a shear. And he flew Billy Shepherd out
- 3:15Speaker 2: to Germany to meet John. John was on the set.
- 3:20Speaker 2: He was a complete and utter wreck. And really had
- 3:26Speaker 2: no choice but to accept this guy in.
- 3:30Speaker 3: And the thing with the new.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Paul, as John would call him, Fall, fake Paul, right, Fall?
- 3:38Speaker 2: He could play like 22 instruments, including trumpets and piano.
- 3:42Speaker 2: And he was a really good drummer. He was actually
- 3:45Speaker 2: a better drummer than Ringo, who didn't play on any
- 3:47Speaker 2: of the Beatles songs.
- 3:48Speaker 3: By the way, I don't think.
- 3:53Speaker 2: And he was just a better musician, better singer. Paul
- 3:58Speaker 2: couldn't read music, but the new Paul could. None of
- 4:01Speaker 2: the Beatles could read music, but the new Paul was
- 4:03Speaker 2: a very proficient studio musician. He was also a mimicry.
- 4:08Speaker 2: So he put out an album under his own name
- 4:11Speaker 2: years before of cover songs where he sounded just like
- 4:16Speaker 2: the person that made the original song, right?
- 4:19Speaker 3: And he was like a mimicry guy.
- 4:21Speaker 2: And so Paul, they realized that we can't tour anymore
- 4:26Speaker 2: because Paul's six foot three. We can't, everyone will see
- 4:29Speaker 2: it because all the Beatles were all the same size.
- 4:32Speaker 2: If you look at them in old, like Ed Sullivan
- 4:35Speaker 2: shows and stuff. And so they said, well, we can't
- 4:38Speaker 2: tour anymore. So they stopped touring and they started making
- 4:42Speaker 2: heavy studio albums, which were, probably mostly produced by the
- 4:49Speaker 2: new Paul. And he, because of his proficiency in music and,
- 4:57Speaker 2: you know, they tell you in songs, Ringo saw, had
- 5:01Speaker 2: a line in one of his songs, you were in
- 5:03Speaker 2: a car crash and you lost your hair. Instead of had,
- 5:06Speaker 2: he put hair, you know, and I had a dream today,
- 5:12Speaker 2: a lucky man who made the grade, He got in
- 5:17Speaker 2: a car accident and lost his head. You know, they're
- 5:21Speaker 2: telling you, banned on the run. Paul McCartney, the new
- 5:24Speaker 2: Paul McCartney, is about the ban being on the run
- 5:28Speaker 2: after they had to do this switch. And so the
- 5:35Speaker 2: new Paul has written a series of books that are
- 5:39Speaker 2: very interesting. That's where I'm getting most of my information.
- 5:43Speaker 2: He's saying that he's faked it. And his name is
- 5:47Speaker 2: on the book. Sir Paul McCartney is on the book.
- 5:50Speaker 2: They're called Billy's Back or something like, anyway, just look
- 5:56Speaker 2: up Billy's Back on Amazon.
- 5:57Speaker 3: You'll find it.
- 5:58Speaker 2: And he's confessing to it. And here's the thing, is
- 6:04Speaker 2: the original Paul McCartney got three women pregnant on tours.
- 6:10Speaker 3: All three were Americans. All three sued Paul McCartney. But
- 6:14Speaker 3: he died. And they had a new one.
- 6:16Speaker 2: And so this guy had to go to trial and
- 6:18Speaker 2: he went into one of his trials and the woman
- 6:21Speaker 2: who was suing him walked up to him. She looked
- 6:24Speaker 2: him up and down and says, you're not Paul, right
- 6:26Speaker 2: in front of everybody in court, right?
- 6:29Speaker 3: And then he gave DNA samples and they said, he's
- 6:34Speaker 3: not the father.
- 6:35Speaker 2: And so he won every lawsuit, but he wrote this
- 6:39Speaker 2: book as a cover for his kids.
- 6:42Speaker 3: So he's copping to everything. He has copped to everything.
- 6:45Speaker 3: It's in a book. You can buy it on Amazon.
- 6:48Speaker 2: And he's copping to the whole thing. He has to
- 6:53Speaker 2: because it's going to be found out one day. And
- 6:56Speaker 2: he's hoping that he can hold it off until after
- 6:59Speaker 2: he dies. He's like 84 or something. So it's probably
- 7:03Speaker 2: going to be coming soon. He is actually five years
- 7:06Speaker 2: older than the original Paul. So instead of being 80,
- 7:09Speaker 2: he's like 85. And and it's an incredible story. And
- 7:17Speaker 2: I actually think the Beatles could be sued or fraud
- 7:21Speaker 2: because it's not the real Paul.
- 7:23Speaker 3: But I don't think I think those days are gone.
- 7:25Speaker 3: It's all going to come out soon. I'm not even
- 7:27Speaker 3: worried about it. And everybody's going to realize it.
- 7:30Speaker 2: And, you know, he's probably not the only people that
- 7:35Speaker 2: have been switched out. I mean, you got to keep
- 7:37Speaker 2: the corporation going.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Right. The Rolling Stones just put out an album. They're
- 7:41Speaker 3: in their 80s. They just put on an album. It's
- 7:43Speaker 3: clearly A.I. The whole album is A.I. It doesn't even
- 7:46Speaker 3: sound like Mick Jagger. It doesn't at all. It sounds
- 7:49Speaker 3: like A.I. The whole album sounds like, oh, let's put
- 7:51Speaker 3: together an album. Write 12 songs that sound like the
- 7:55Speaker 3: Rolling Stones. Right? That's it. Put their album out.
- 7:59Speaker 2: And so, yeah, the Beatles, by.
- 8:03Speaker 3: The way, didn't play their music. That was all.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Played maybe after the Paul came, the old Paul came.
- 8:10Speaker 2: The new Paul came, then maybe they were playing their instruments,
- 8:13Speaker 2: but they were playing their instruments on those albums that
- 8:17Speaker 2: they made. Those are like seriously professional musicians on those albums.
- 8:22Speaker 2: They're doing stuff that you learned at Juilliard in your
- 8:24Speaker 2: fifth year, right? And you're like two 20-year-olds writing these
- 8:28Speaker 2: songs and writing this music.
- 8:30Speaker 3: I'm sorry, it didn't.
- 8:33Speaker 2: If you watch the Beatles, just type in YouTube and
- 8:37Speaker 2: type in the Beatles and go watch videos of them
- 8:41Speaker 2: they cut away every time that there's a guitar solo.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Every time that George has to do a guitar solo,
- 8:47Speaker 2: they cut away to something. But they don't show you
- 8:49Speaker 2: George playing the guitar. And by the way, he plays
- 8:53Speaker 2: guitar at 20 years old as good as Chet Atkins,
- 8:56Speaker 2: who was the best country-western guitarist of all time. And yet,
- 9:00Speaker 2: after 24 years old, he doesn't play like that anymore.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Even though he's the greatest country-western guitarist in history, he
- 9:08Speaker 2: decides he's never going to play that kind of music
- 9:10Speaker 2: ever again. So, you know, the Beatles are, the boomers
- 9:13Speaker 2: love the Beatles and they worship the Beatles and the
- 9:16Speaker 2: Beatles are.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Just an act. It's just an act. The whole thing
- 9:22Speaker 3: is just an act. You know?
- 9:25Speaker 1: Well, you got Quincy Jones saying that, The Beatles, Quincy
- 9:29Speaker 1: Jones is like one of the most legendary producers ever
- 9:33Speaker 1: in the history of music. He said in, I think
- 9:38Speaker 1: it was like 2017 in like a big, huge interview
- 9:41Speaker 1: for the New York Times or the Guardian, he said
- 9:44Speaker 1: that the Beatles were the worst musicians in the world.
- 9:46Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
- 9:50Speaker 2: If you watch Peter Jackson's Get Back, their recording of
- 9:56Speaker 2: Abbey Road, supposedly, Right?
- 9:58Speaker 3: The entire movie, is them.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Just like playing around on their instruments, never actually playing
- 10:05Speaker 2: a song or anything, just, you know, each one of
- 10:09Speaker 2: them dicking around on whatever instrument they have.
- 10:11Speaker 3: And then.
- 10:15Speaker 2: They have a two-song concert on the roof. of the
- 10:19Speaker 2: studio at the very end. And so I was, I'd
- 10:23Speaker 2: heard about this movie. I didn't see it. I have
- 10:27Speaker 2: seen it now. I thought about if I was directing
- 10:31Speaker 2: this concert, the only time that they ever were in public,
- 10:35Speaker 2: how would I, how would I do it?
- 10:37Speaker 3: So I don't reveal that Paul is six foot three.
- 10:39Speaker 3: And I said, okay, what I.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Would do is I put John and George over on
- 10:43Speaker 2: one side together because they're the same size. And then
- 10:46Speaker 2: I put Paul way over on the other side. And
- 10:48Speaker 2: I'd shoot Paul from below, looking up, so you can't
- 10:52Speaker 2: tell what his height.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Is, right? I got that in my mind. I turned
- 10:55Speaker 3: it on. I watched it. It's exactly what they did.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Exactly what they did.
- 10:59Speaker 2: They never show all four of them, you know, with
- 11:02Speaker 2: their heads all level or whatever. You never see it.
- 11:06Speaker 2: And so, you know, the thing is, is that it's
- 11:10Speaker 2: kind of all fake, actually.
- 11:13Speaker 3: I don't believe that Bob Dylan wrote thousand songs.
- 11:19Speaker 2: And, you know, put out an album every four months
- 11:23Speaker 2: and had 12 songs on it that were all like,
- 11:27Speaker 2: you know, with lyrics and melodies and people don't do that.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Bands today don't put out 15 albums in five years. Like,
- 11:39Speaker 2: who are they? Imagine Dragons. They've had, they put out what?
- 11:43Speaker 2: Four albums in 14 years.
- 11:47Speaker 3: Four albums. They're turning out one album every three years, right?
- 11:51Speaker 3: That's more like the rate that you should be producing
- 11:54Speaker 3: your music.
- 11:54Speaker 2: But in the 60s, everybody was producing 8, 10, 15 albums.
- 12:01Speaker 3: And it's just not realistic. None of it was realistic.
- 12:05Speaker 1: And that's the thing, too, is like a lot of
- 12:06Speaker 1: these musicians that have died are more popular and more
- 12:10Speaker 1: famous and make more money than they did when they
- 12:12Speaker 1: were alive. Did you see this right here where Bob
- 12:16Speaker 1: Dylan just meets with Pope Leo here? It looks like
- 12:20Speaker 1: the Grim Reaper. You ever said Pope Leo looking like
- 12:25Speaker 1: the Grim Reaper?
- 12:26Speaker 3: Oh, that is funny.
- 12:29Speaker 1: This just was yesterday. This was Wednesday, November 4th.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Oh, Bob Dylan's lost about a foot of height. Looks like, whoa. Yeah,
- 12:41Speaker 2: he looks like, I don't know.
- 12:44Speaker 3: He looks like a little monster there.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Weird. He's looking like a, that's a dichotomy there. It's
- 12:53Speaker 1: a dualistic. You got the Pope all in white here,
- 12:56Speaker 1: and then you got Bob Dylan.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Bob Dylan admitted on 60 Minutes that he owed all
- 13:01Speaker 2: of his success to the devil.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Remember?
