A MCRFB NOTE

The ‘rumor’ started here. By year’s end, 1969, many radio stations across the country were by then latching unto the question, “Is Paul Dead?,” its central premise based on rumors of Paul’s possible demise which were by then rampant by the end of October. This one particular radio piece, while it’s origin is unknown to MCRFB, covers ‘the rumor,’ of various clues told as significant — dropping further of more telling clues. The above audio portion is believed, possibly, to have emanated out of 77 WABC (the station having aired their own “Is Paul Dead?” broadcast) in New York, sometime during November, 1969.

  1. The original rumor was broadcast on WKNR-FM with Dan Carlisle, John Small, Russ Gibb and yours truly. The story came from a student at Eastern Michigan University who had done the original research. We all decided it was provocative enough to run with it.
