This Cheryl Crow song came up somewhere before in conjunction with PID. In the first verse she sings -
He says his name's William but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
..."
I always found it interesting as I`ve no doubt it`s an "open secret" within the entertainment industry that Bill/Faul is not the original Paul McCartney.
It`s interesting to note that in the intro Cheryl Crow mentions L.A -
"This ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either
This is LA!"

To quote another apropos song: "I see right through your plastic Mac."
"Substitute" - The Who
LA - also home of spook-infested Laurel Canyon...

Do you have any links regarding Laurel Canyon?

Sure do. Check out "Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation" by Dave McGowan at davesweb.cnchost.com.... There's some good stuff there.

Billy (Faul) talks more complete rubbish for his adoring fans!
Great catch! Bill just got cocky - thought no one would catch little things like that.

Smokers can not light with both hands? I just picked up a lighter and easily lit up with both hands. Also, look at the angles of the bodies in the pic. It would be awkward to use the left hand to light Damon's cigarette, while reaching over with the right hand was the safer and easier option.

the run out groove of Sgt Pepper (at the very end of the long fade out of A Day In The Life), Beatles half sing, half say the following which is repeated...
"I never could see any other way." (laughter in background)
Check it out.
Now, what that refers to is a mystery. I've read that they spent several hours getting it exactly the way they wanted it to sound. Quite mysterious little thing.

I`m right handed, smoked when I was younger and would never light up a cigi (for myself or anyone else) with my left hand, just wouldn`t do it.
I have a friend who is ambidextrous but uses the same hands for the same things out of habit. Bill above would have to light up with his left hand as Paul was left handed but here shows us his true nature

George Martin, the "great protector" of all things Beatle.
In recognition of his services to the music industry and popular culture, he was made a Knight Bachelor in 1996.

I don't know if this REALLY counts as evidence as, as I have posted previously, I'm left-handed and while I generally use my left hand to light my fags I can and do use my right hand as well...and remember that Paul, being a left-hander in a right-hander's world may well have been able to use his right hand to light a cigarette...

I'm w/ UB on not being comfortable using my left hand to wield a lighter (esp not w/ a flame that close to someone's face - yikes :-P).
It obviously isn't definitive proof that Bill is right handed, but the evidence does start to stack up. There's Bill playing right-handed guitar in India, right handed on a boat, the way he reached for the bass right-handedly in SFF before catching himself, the way he crosses his arms in an (arguably) right-handed manner, etc.

Arm folding and cigarette lighting I consider to be distractions and there are far more worthy, curious, and evident things than these...

I am also open minded to the possibility Linda Eastman was CIA, as well. Sounds preposterous just like everything else we've been discussing, but if you agree that Yoko could have been a control agent, then it would follow that Linda could have been one, as well...
