The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues door R. Gary Patterson

I definitely had to laugh at all of the "clues" that people were finding in their songs. People just heard what they wanted to hear like "I buried Paul" when John was just saying cranberry sauce. Some of the clues on the covers were pretty interesting, especially on Sgt. Pepper's. Over all i thought it was a good book to read and laugh at at the same time.

Take a Walk on the Dark Side: Rock and Roll Myths,… door R. Gary Patterson

Dark, disturbing, and very well researched - although most of this information can be obtained these days simply by tuning into VH1 Classic. I found the book to be very extensive and entertaining.

The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues door R. Gary Patterson

TEPID, POORLY-RESEARCHED, HISTRIONIC. I own over 200 Beatles-related books, including the other tome that deals with the "Paul Is Dead" hoax. THAT book is far superior to this wasted opportunity. Patterson refers to himself as "The Fox Mulder of Rock 'N' Roll", and his breathless, histrionic, boogieman-around-every-corner style of writing supports that. And there is absolutely no original research within these pages; instead, Patterson relies on old copies of Rolling Stone magazine, and well-thumbed-through accounts penned by other far more accomplished Beatles authors. Otherwise, he lets his imagination run wild, making up "theories" about who's behind this "conspiracy". This is great for people who believe in the Loch Ness Monster and UFOs, but if you want a real account of this VERY REAL slice of rock history, may I suggest TURN ME ON, DEAD MAN by Andru Reeve. Or wait for a few more years and pick up Mark Lewisohn's multi-volume FAB biography which, I understand, will contain an all-encompassing chapter on the incident, with comments from Mr. McCartney himself. Avoid, or pick it up used @Amazon.com for one or two bucks.… (meer)
