The "Paul is dead" rumors were super amusing to me as I dove into the Beatles during the 80s. Imagine Paul actually dying in 1966, and then (just so that the fans aren't upset, mind you!) he is replaced by the greatest songwriter ever to live.
Now that's a convincing illusion! Well played, Capitol Records. Well played.
I'm probably the only person who liked that movie. Because it was fun, dammit!
P.S. Pluto is actually much more comfortable living in shadow and alias and misapprehension, as it can do its dark work more easily that way.
Oh don't get me wrong, I liked it too! Never abide the Rotten Tomatoes! (You can always just cut away the little rotten bit).
I like that idea about Pluto...I would prefer the same.

It's so endearingly kooky. How did it even come to be, I wonder. Did the record company actually plant that?
I'm not really sure about that. I think it was all coincidence, but... I would never rule something like that out.
