00:00:00.070 --> 00:00:03.470
Well, our original plan was to make JFK X, which
2
00:00:03.529 --> 00:00:06.110
I really believe just blew the lid off of the
3
00:00:06.169 --> 00:00:10.390
entire zeitgeist. And we'll probably never get credit for it,
4
00:00:10.419 --> 00:00:14.060
but it is really, I believe changed the way that
5
00:00:14.099 --> 00:00:16.219
people look at a lot of things. And then it
6
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.820
was a clockwork shining. And then we have plans to
7
00:00:19.859 --> 00:00:22.460
do a third movie, which was going to kind of
8
00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:26.640
revolve around the Beatles. Now we are, We've decided to
9
00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:31.600
do something different with that, but I want to get
10
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.630
your thoughts and your opinions on exactly what happened with
11
00:00:36.009 --> 00:00:39.670
John Lennon and this reported car accident where they then
12
00:00:39.729 --> 00:00:40.390
replaced him.
13
00:00:41.429 --> 00:00:50.490
So the story goes, early morning, September 11th, 1966, Paul
14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.100
McCartney had just been told by his manager, Brian Epstein,
15
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:58.659
that he had to have, John and him had to
16
00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:04.719
have 10 songs done, recorded in time for Christmas. And
17
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:11.170
as anybody who knows songwriting, that's a tall order. 10
18
00:01:11.170 --> 00:01:13.790
songs in what? September, October, November?
19
00:01:14.090 --> 00:01:14.670
Four months?
20
00:01:15.290 --> 00:01:18.040
That's a tall order to write 10 songs. And he
21
00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:21.840
stormed out of the studio. It was like 4.35 in
22
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:26.439
the morning. Sun was coming up. And he jumped in
23
00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:29.359
his car and he was driving down the road and
24
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:35.659
he saw a really cute girl. And she recognized him
25
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.670
and he picked her up in the car and she
26
00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:42.049
was flirting heavily with him. He missed the red light,
27
00:01:42.650 --> 00:01:47.890
ran through it, got smacked by a vehicle, got beheaded
28
00:01:49.849 --> 00:01:56.090
and died on the spot. John was in Germany shooting
29
00:01:56.530 --> 00:01:57.670
How I Won the War.
30
00:01:57.689 --> 00:01:59.480
It was a movie that he was in.
31
00:02:00.299 --> 00:02:05.079
And Brian Epstein called up John and said, you know,
32
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:11.699
Paul's dead. And John completely lost his shit. And it
33
00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.430
was well known that the Beatles all had doubles. What
34
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.409
they would do is their doubles would come in dressed
35
00:02:16.469 --> 00:02:18.990
as the Beatles in the front door of the hotel
36
00:02:19.250 --> 00:02:21.770
where all the girls were screaming. And the real Beatles
37
00:02:21.789 --> 00:02:23.919
would come through the back door. you know, with masks
38
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.080
and glasses and hats and stuff, all disguised. So the
39
00:02:28.099 --> 00:02:35.110
Beatles all had doubles. That's a known fact. And Brian Epstein,
40
00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:39.530
trying to keep the corporation going, you know, chose the
41
00:02:39.550 --> 00:02:43.509
double that he had chosen for Paul. And that guy's
42
00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:47.500
name was Billy Shears. He was six foot three. Paul
43
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.500
was six feet. So that was a serious problem there. And, but,
44
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.599
with the combing of the hair and the dyeing of
45
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.259
the hair. He had different eye color, so that was
46
00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:01.699
kind of a problem. So then he flew out to,
47
00:03:01.979 --> 00:03:06.379
he flew the new Paul, Billy Shears. Billy Shepherd is
48
00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:09.699
his name. John called him Billy Shears, because you Shears,
49
00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:14.960
Shepherd uses a shear. And he flew Billy Shepherd out
50
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.419
to Germany to meet John. John was on the set.
51
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:26.680
He was a complete and utter wreck. And really had
52
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.280
no choice but to accept this guy in.
53
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.379
And the thing with the new.
54
00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:38.439
Paul, as John would call him, Fall, fake Paul, right, Fall?
55
00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:42.699
He could play like 22 instruments, including trumpets and piano.
56
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.219
And he was a really good drummer. He was actually
57
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.439
a better drummer than Ringo, who didn't play on any
58
00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:48.240
of the Beatles songs.
59
00:03:48.689 --> 00:03:49.490
By the way, I don't think.
60
00:03:53.150 --> 00:03:58.129
And he was just a better musician, better singer. Paul
61
00:03:58.250 --> 00:04:01.300
couldn't read music, but the new Paul could. None of
62
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.500
the Beatles could read music, but the new Paul was
63
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.620
a very proficient studio musician. He was also a mimicry.
64
00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:11.400
So he put out an album under his own name
65
00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:16.680
years before of cover songs where he sounded just like
66
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.649
the person that made the original song, right?
67
00:04:19.810 --> 00:04:21.329
And he was like a mimicry guy.
68
00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:26.350
And so Paul, they realized that we can't tour anymore
69
00:04:26.370 --> 00:04:29.670
because Paul's six foot three. We can't, everyone will see
70
00:04:29.689 --> 00:04:31.769
it because all the Beatles were all the same size.
71
00:04:32.269 --> 00:04:35.389
If you look at them in old, like Ed Sullivan
72
00:04:35.410 --> 00:04:38.370
shows and stuff. And so they said, well, we can't
73
00:04:38.389 --> 00:04:42.800
tour anymore. So they stopped touring and they started making
74
Load full transcript
00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:49.589
heavy studio albums, which were, probably mostly produced by the
75
00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:55.829
new Paul. And he, because of his proficiency in music and,
76
00:04:57.300 --> 00:05:01.709
you know, they tell you in songs, Ringo saw, had
77
00:05:01.740 --> 00:05:03.420
a line in one of his songs, you were in
78
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.639
a car crash and you lost your hair. Instead of had,
79
00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:12.699
he put hair, you know, and I had a dream today,
80
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:17.680
a lucky man who made the grade, He got in
81
00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:20.959
a car accident and lost his head. You know, they're
82
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.769
telling you, banned on the run. Paul McCartney, the new
83
00:05:24.790 --> 00:05:28.329
Paul McCartney, is about the ban being on the run
84
00:05:28.470 --> 00:05:35.149
after they had to do this switch. And so the
85
00:05:35.230 --> 00:05:39.560
new Paul has written a series of books that are
86
00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:42.920
very interesting. That's where I'm getting most of my information.
87
00:05:43.379 --> 00:05:46.970
He's saying that he's faked it. And his name is
88
00:05:47.649 --> 00:05:50.189
on the book. Sir Paul McCartney is on the book.
89
00:05:50.490 --> 00:05:56.439
They're called Billy's Back or something like, anyway, just look
90
00:05:56.459 --> 00:05:57.660
up Billy's Back on Amazon.
91
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.230
You'll find it.
92
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:04.819
And he's confessing to it. And here's the thing, is
93
00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:09.350
the original Paul McCartney got three women pregnant on tours.
94
00:06:10.129 --> 00:06:14.069
All three were Americans. All three sued Paul McCartney. But
95
00:06:14.110 --> 00:06:15.980
he died. And they had a new one.
96
00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:18.649
And so this guy had to go to trial and
97
00:06:18.670 --> 00:06:21.449
he went into one of his trials and the woman
98
00:06:21.490 --> 00:06:23.990
who was suing him walked up to him. She looked
99
00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:26.829
him up and down and says, you're not Paul, right
100
00:06:26.850 --> 00:06:28.689
in front of everybody in court, right?
101
00:06:29.069 --> 00:06:34.329
And then he gave DNA samples and they said, he's
102
00:06:34.370 --> 00:06:34.990
not the father.
103
00:06:35.509 --> 00:06:39.060
And so he won every lawsuit, but he wrote this
104
00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:41.800
book as a cover for his kids.
105
00:06:42.449 --> 00:06:45.069
So he's copping to everything. He has copped to everything.
106
00:06:45.129 --> 00:06:47.610
It's in a book. You can buy it on Amazon.
107
00:06:48.269 --> 00:06:53.509
And he's copping to the whole thing. He has to
108
00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:56.639
because it's going to be found out one day. And
109
00:06:56.660 --> 00:06:59.000
he's hoping that he can hold it off until after
110
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.519
he dies. He's like 84 or something. So it's probably
111
00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:06.199
going to be coming soon. He is actually five years
112
00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:09.939
older than the original Paul. So instead of being 80,
113
00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:17.730
he's like 85. And and it's an incredible story. And
114
00:07:17.769 --> 00:07:20.949
I actually think the Beatles could be sued or fraud
115
00:07:21.370 --> 00:07:23.269
because it's not the real Paul.
116
00:07:23.870 --> 00:07:25.850
But I don't think I think those days are gone.
117
00:07:25.889 --> 00:07:27.490
It's all going to come out soon. I'm not even
118
00:07:27.509 --> 00:07:30.040
worried about it. And everybody's going to realize it.
119
00:07:30.689 --> 00:07:35.050
And, you know, he's probably not the only people that
120
00:07:35.069 --> 00:07:37.370
have been switched out. I mean, you got to keep
121
00:07:37.389 --> 00:07:38.470
the corporation going.
122
00:07:38.610 --> 00:07:41.569
Right. The Rolling Stones just put out an album. They're
123
00:07:41.589 --> 00:07:43.449
in their 80s. They just put on an album. It's
124
00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:46.680
clearly A.I. The whole album is A.I. It doesn't even
125
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.759
sound like Mick Jagger. It doesn't at all. It sounds
126
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.800
like A.I. The whole album sounds like, oh, let's put
127
00:07:51.819 --> 00:07:55.000
together an album. Write 12 songs that sound like the
128
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.720
Rolling Stones. Right? That's it. Put their album out.
129
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.230
And so, yeah, the Beatles, by.
130
00:08:03.170 --> 00:08:06.709
The way, didn't play their music. That was all.
131
00:08:06.889 --> 00:08:10.189
Played maybe after the Paul came, the old Paul came.
132
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.610
The new Paul came, then maybe they were playing their instruments,
133
00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:16.990
but they were playing their instruments on those albums that
134
00:08:17.009 --> 00:08:21.269
they made. Those are like seriously professional musicians on those albums.
135
00:08:22.170 --> 00:08:24.689
They're doing stuff that you learned at Juilliard in your
136
00:08:24.810 --> 00:08:28.920
fifth year, right? And you're like two 20-year-olds writing these
137
00:08:28.949 --> 00:08:30.879
songs and writing this music.
138
00:08:30.939 --> 00:08:32.840
I'm sorry, it didn't.
139
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.820
If you watch the Beatles, just type in YouTube and
140
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.039
type in the Beatles and go watch videos of them
141
00:08:41.289 --> 00:08:44.460
they cut away every time that there's a guitar solo.
142
00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:46.779
Every time that George has to do a guitar solo,
143
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.259
they cut away to something. But they don't show you
144
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.980
George playing the guitar. And by the way, he plays
145
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.100
guitar at 20 years old as good as Chet Atkins,
146
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.820
who was the best country-western guitarist of all
time. And yet,
147
00:09:00.179 --> 00:09:03.500
after 24 years old, he doesn't play like that anymore.
148
00:09:03.909 --> 00:09:08.429
Even though he's the greatest country-western guitarist in history, he
149
00:09:08.490 --> 00:09:10.350
decides he's never going to play that kind of music
150
00:09:10.450 --> 00:09:13.870
ever again. So, you know, the Beatles are, the boomers
151
00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:16.669
love the Beatles and they worship the Beatles and the
152
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:17.639
Beatles are.
153
00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:22.559
Just an act. It's just an act. The whole thing
154
00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:25.100
is just an act. You know?
155
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:29.700
Well, you got Quincy Jones saying that, The Beatles, Quincy
156
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.840
Jones is like one of the most legendary producers ever
157
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:38.120
in the history of music. He said in, I think
158
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.340
it was like 2017 in like a big, huge interview
159
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.090
for the New York Times or the Guardian, he said
160
00:09:44.149 --> 00:09:46.889
that the Beatles were the worst musicians in the world.
161
00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:49.950
That's exactly right.
162
00:09:50.450 --> 00:09:56.070
If you watch Peter Jackson's Get Back, their recording of
163
00:09:56.210 --> 00:09:58.149
Abbey Road, supposedly, Right?
164
00:09:58.490 --> 00:10:00.879
The entire movie, is them.
165
00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:05.559
Just like playing around on their instruments, never actually playing
166
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.950
a song or anything, just, you know, each one of
167
00:10:09.049 --> 00:10:11.389
them dicking around on whatever instrument they have.
168
00:10:11.870 --> 00:10:12.490
And then.
169
00:10:15.570 --> 00:10:19.659
They have a two-song concert on the roof. of the
170
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.679
studio at the very end. And so I was, I'd
171
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.990
heard about this movie. I didn't see it. I have
172
00:10:27.029 --> 00:10:30.330
seen it now. I thought about if I was directing
173
00:10:31.129 --> 00:10:34.610
this concert, the only time that they ever were in public,
174
00:10:35.669 --> 00:10:37.250
how would I, how would I do it?
175
00:10:37.289 --> 00:10:39.600
So I don't reveal that Paul is six foot three.
176
00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:41.059
And I said, okay, what I.
177
00:10:41.059 --> 00:10:43.600
Would do is I put John and George over on
178
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.460
one side together because they're the same size. And then
179
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.909
I put Paul way over on the other side. And
180
00:10:48.970 --> 00:10:52.049
I'd shoot Paul from below, looking up, so you can't
181
00:10:52.090 --> 00:10:52.970
tell what his height.
182
00:10:52.889 --> 00:10:55.710
Is, right? I got that in my mind. I turned
183
00:10:55.730 --> 00:10:57.629
it on. I watched it. It's exactly what they did.
184
00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.460
Exactly what they did.
185
00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:02.259
They never show all four of them, you know, with
186
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.370
their heads all level or whatever. You never see it.
187
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.799
And so, you know, the thing is, is that it's
188
00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:13.830
kind of all fake, actually.
189
00:11:13.850 --> 00:11:20.200
I don't believe that Bob Dylan wrote thousand songs.
190
00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:22.860
And, you know, put out an album every four months
191
00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:27.100
and had 12 songs on it that were all like,
192
00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:32.500
you know, with lyrics and melodies and people don't do that.
193
00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:38.419
Bands today don't put out 15 albums in five years. Like,
194
00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:42.690
who are they? Imagine Dragons. They've had, they put out what?
195
00:11:43.610 --> 00:11:45.409
Four albums in 14 years.
196
00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:51.429
Four albums. They're turning out one album every three years, right?
197
00:11:51.470 --> 00:11:54.129
That's more like the rate that you should be producing
198
00:11:54.149 --> 00:11:54.610
your music.
199
00:11:54.870 --> 00:12:01.210
But in the 60s, everybody was producing 8, 10, 15 albums.
200
00:12:01.730 --> 00:12:04.000
And it's just not realistic. None of it was realistic.
201
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:06.519
And that's the thing, too, is like a lot of
202
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.080
these musicians that have died are more popular and more
203
00:12:10.139 --> 00:12:12.159
famous and make more money than they did when they
204
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:16.070
were alive. Did you see this right here where Bob
205
00:12:16.090 --> 00:12:20.570
Dylan just meets with Pope Leo here? It looks like
206
00:12:20.610 --> 00:12:25.149
the Grim Reaper. You ever said Pope Leo looking like
207
00:12:25.190 --> 00:12:26.090
the Grim Reaper?
208
00:12:26.110 --> 00:12:28.809
Oh, that is funny.
209
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.149
This just was yesterday. This was Wednesday, November 4th.
210
00:12:34.029 --> 00:12:41.750
Oh, Bob Dylan's lost about a foot of height. Looks like, whoa. Yeah,
211
00:12:41.830 --> 00:12:44.289
he looks like, I don't know.
212
00:12:44.309 --> 00:12:45.669
He looks like a little monster there.
213
00:12:48.730 --> 00:12:53.929
Weird. He's looking like a, that's a dichotomy there. It's
214
00:12:53.990 --> 00:12:56.570
a dualistic. You got the Pope all in white here,
215
00:12:56.629 --> 00:12:58.070
and then you got Bob Dylan.
216
00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:01.789
Bob Dylan admitted on 60 Minutes that he owed all
217
00:13:01.820 --> 00:13:03.029
of his success to the devil.
218
00:13:03.049 --> 00:13:03.340
Remember?
