Also, for any Paul is Dead fans out there. People say that Paul died in a car accident. That is why when the car accident is talked about in "A Day In The Life" one of the lines states "He blew his mind out in a car." "He didn't notice that the lights had changed." And that is why Paul is out of step on the Abbey Road cover. Cause he's dead. If somone asks a question about Paul is dead I will tell you all about it!
