TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Louisville Courier-Journal May 23:

This will be the Louisville debut for Abbey Road on the River, which left Cleveland for a fresh start and better facilities after three years and more than 50,000 visitors. The festival is coming to a hotbed of latent and not-so-latent Beatlemania.

One of the festival's taglines is "Get in touch with your inner Beatle," so we asked local fans which Beatle -- John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison or Ringo Starr -- got most of their attention.

[...]

Local Beatle fiend Jeff McAllister, a fan and collector of memorabilia for 40 years, dug a little deeper -- all the way back to the "Paul is dead" conspiracy theories.

"My favorite Beatle is the guy who replaced Paul McCartney in 1966, William Campbell," said McAllister, drummer for Hank Williams Jr. and Hellfish. "He did a hell of a job, too, man. He's still laughing all the way to the bank."

"William Campbell," of course is just a name made up ny Michigan University student Fred LaBour. The people who do know the birth name of today's Sir PAUL MCCARTNEY aren't talking.
