i always heard that it was a cover up to hide the fact that John had died, they replaced him with a look alike and the lie was the reason they broke up. supposedly it is when Abbey Road was released with Paul walking barefoot (hence Paul is dead) and John (the new one) got involved with Yoko and all things about him changed. if you look at them (the 2 Johns) you can see subtle differences (look at the nose) and the walk gate. there is a book titled Lennon remembers that i have always heard explains it all, i dont know i've never read it. but i guess this all happened when they introduced Billy Shear?? i think its all hoekum but that is what i was told and the guy who told me said he heard it from a guy that knew a guy that knew Mr G. Martin???
