Wait...

*Ahem*

In a press interview with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they atribute Paul's disastrous interview about the tour to his therapist giving him the wrong meds that day.

"Well we did the tour ourselves halfway through and we thought of having a break for a few nights... so we'd thought we'd have a laugh while doing so. So we hired look-alikes to do those few nights, just a few nights and then we'd be right back at it when we hit Boston. But Paul got all crazy and said we should do Revolution 9 the whole show, he insisted and we knew we would get critisism but he wouldn't stop, so we did it at some small arts center so it would atleast make sense a little. But then that whole fiasco happened and then... y'know" George Harrison MBE, 2000.

Paul later said in an interview:

"When I said that I couldn't do it anymore, that was the meds talking, just so you all know I'm NOT quitting or breaking up the Beatles, why did you think we took that break in the first place? it would have to take the rest of us to die to make the band end" Paul McCartney MBE, 2000.

The Beatles (The original members only since Julian was touring his own album and Jeff quit) did a small makeup tour in the spring of 2001, playing smaller, more intimate venues, akin to Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour, playing deep cuts from their albums.

The tour was a critical success (them noting the heartfelt preformances) and a modest financial success. During the recording of their newest album, then titled Back to the Sunshine, the band recieved terrible news...
 
[ whatever ]

The lip-sync fiasco, Paul's angry rant, and the subsequent walk back by his friends and handlers, plus this new Internet thing with the 'memes': all of these help restart the ancient rumor that the real Paul is dead: which an entire generation of Millennials and Gen-Z had not yet heard much about.

[ "Dude! Did you know if you play 'Can You Take Me Back' backwards it has secret messages in it?" ]

I've cancelled this thread due to losing interest in modern music. You can continue it if you want though.

I don't like pop and trap in general. The last time I heard a good song on the radio it was Summertime Sadness. Most of the next 20 years would just be fictional songs. And that's boring. I am planning on a supplementary thread with stuff like track listings and full chart results for artists like Quest and Young Guns. I plan on creating that thread in the next week.
 
I feel the same way. It's not a matter of not "giving it a chance": music simply doesn't resonate with you in the same way once you move on to other things in your life (for most people, at least). Everyone tends to favor the music they came to love from about age 12 to age 30 or so. Maybe you have to be of a certain age to fully appreciate this.
