Analyzing the conspiracy theories.

Paul McCartney Dead?
worldnewsdailyreport.com

For many years, rumors have been circulating surrounding the death of Paul McCartney, member of The Beatles. It's theorized that McCartney passed in a fatal car accident and was immediately replaced with a look-alike, Billy Shears. Though tough to believe, there are a handful of suspicious instances which can cause some doubt. The "evidence" below will provide some insight, but it's ultimately up to you to decide.

Abbey Road

As shown, The Beatles are supposedly in a specific order – John Lennon dressed in white as a religious figure, Ringo Starr as an undertaker, McCartney barefoot as many cultures bury the dead, and George Harrison in jeans as the gravedigger. Additionally, the album concludes with three songs, in order, "Golden Slumbers", "Carry That Weight", and "The End."

Sgt. Peppers

This image, on the inside cover of Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, displays McCartney in the fetal position with a black patch on his arm which reads OPD (Officially Pronounced Dead). On the back cover, McCartney is the only member to be facing the opposite direction, displaying his back.

Magical Mystery Tour

On the cover of the "Magical Mystery Tour" album, McCartney can be seen in black with all other members in white costumes. McCartney can once again be seen sporting black in a picture within the booklet, wearing a dark rose with his white tuxedo while others wear red.

Additionally, within the booklet, McCartney can be seen sitting at a desk stating, "I was".

The White Album

The song, "Don't Pass Me By", is thought to be a tribute to McCartney

's passing, with the lyrics:

"I listen for your footsteps,
Coming up the drive.
Listen for your footsteps,
But they don't arrive.
Waiting for your knock dear,
On my old front door.
I don't hear it."

In addition, the lyrics alone to "I'm So Tired" may seem telling enough, but when listening to the mumbling voice at the end of the song played backwards, one can hear "Paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him, miss him."

Let It Be

The final "clue" can be observed on the "Let It Be" album cover itself, with McCartney portrayed with a a crimson red background, while the others are seen with white backdrops.

After reviewing the "evidence," is Paul McCartney dead? Probably not, but will we ever be sure?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
