If you'd rather have your mind blown yourself watch Paul McCartney Really is Dead - The Last Testament of George Harrison. I'm pretty sure it was on Netflix instant stream that we were watching it, but not positive. And sorry if this is old news to some of y'all. I'm 22 so I wasn't alive when this shit was going down.

Basically in 1966 Paul McCartney and John Lennon got in to an argument over lyrics and Paul stormed out of the studio. He died in a car crash via decapitation. Since they were high priority the intelligence agency had the band identify him and told them it must be kept secret because news of his death would cause hundreds of suicides (This was at the peak of their fame). So eventually what they do is have a tv show hold a McCartney look-a-like competition and the agency took one of the canidates and performed a series of surgeries to make him look exactly like Paul McCartney. They remained in the studio and obscurred their faces so that the fake Paul's scars and incompleteness would not be recognized. Some of his scars can clearly be seen in some of the pictures. That was breakthrough stuff at the time and because of the global tensions the band was sworn to secrecy under threat of death. Lennon felt terrible about it all and wanted to leave the fans clues so that when the truth was discovered they could say we were sworn to secrecy under threat of death and that they tried to tell the fans. The clues were left mainly in the form of album artwork , song lyrics, and backwards tracking messages on to albums.

Anyways the intelligence agency had been keeping an eye on them and found out about all of their clues and threatened them to stop it multiple times. Around that time some people had caught on and Rumors began to spread that McCartney was dead. The band, fearing for their lives, called the head guy at the intelligence agency who had been threatening them and told them they were going to call the whole thing a hoax and call an end to their band in 6 months. They produced one more album titled "The Beatles" and was all white. Despite the conformed album cover, they still put backwards trackings in it and one of em Lennon says "Fuck you Maxwell" - The name of the head guy in the agency. They all quickly went their seperate ways and the fake Paul began doing his own stuff because he had become accustomed to being Paul.

Lennon went to America and tried to keep a really high profile by being an activist and appearing insane on purpose so that he could discredit himself and hopefully take himself off of the radar. Paul's wife (who saw Paul die), demanded that the fake paul marry her in order for her to keep quiet. Fake Paul calls the head agency guy and a week later she is killed. Later John Lennon told the band members that he had thought enough time had passed, so he informed them that he had called the fake paul and told him of his plan to tell the world the truth. Shortly after... well... You know the rest.

Some time later some Rock n Roll magazine producers or some company or something got a package in the mail with no return adress from Britan. Inside were a tape recorder and 3 casettes. On it George Harrison tells the entire story and talks about every clue they gave out. Those people made the documentary I mentioned above. It goes through and shows all of em and there are SO many. After one documentary I saw the Beatles in a completely different light and so many of their songs/lyrics make perfect sense.
