With The Beatles | ‘Paul Is Dead’

Noted as “the most elaborate pop hoax in history,” the “Paul is dead” myth has generated more rumors and speculation for the Beatles than for any other group. It all started on a Sunday afternoon, 1969, in Detroit, MI, when a DJ known as Russ Gibb aired a call from a student at Eastern Michigan University, named Tom. Tom stated that when the beginning of the song “Revolution 9” is played backwords, the voice says, “Turn me on, dead man.” He also told Gibb that at the very end of “Strawberry Fields Forever”, a muffled voice says, “I buried Paul.” Gibb played both on the air. The phone lines went crazy.
