(Not really Bts related) I stumbled upon this interview (BTS World was already out) and noticed something interesting:
Yoongi says he wants to collab with Paul McCartney. I wasn't expecting that. Why him? Out of all the people. I used to wonder what it would be like if Yoongi collabed with other famous and talented artists, for example Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran). Now that would be quite a collab, and they would probably get along well, as their personalities (or at least what I've seen of Yoongi) and sense of humor are very similar. But putting that aside, Bts have already been compared to The Beatles. Maybe he said it to reinforce the association?
I dont know if anyone here is interested in this, but I find this story fascinating and maybe someone else will.
Paul McCartney has quite an interesting conspiracy query surrounding him. He got arrested in Japan in 1980 for marijuana and his fingerprints didnt match. It's alleged that the real Paul died Sep 11 1966. His height, eye color, ear shape are also different. After 1966 the Beatles stopped touring and focused exclusively on record production. Some theorize that he was still teaching himself to play guitar left-handed, but during sessions still played right-handed, so that's why they couldn't tour.
The Beatles were a very popular boyband whose songs were about love, but starting from their Sgt. Pepper album their music drastically changed, coming up with songs like Lucy in the sky with diamons. Some theorize that the real Paul didn't want anything to do with it, so he left, or was killed.
Also I can't verify this but Ringo Starr said he was the last surviving Beatle and I've also heard people say that John Lennon and George Harrison would call Paul "Faul" a.k.a. "Fake Paul".
There's this one interesting interview where "Paul" is talking on the topic, and it's truly fascinating:
Interview: At the end of the 60s is when the rumor of Paul McCartney being dead started. They did a cover for the album Abbey Road (on which "Paul" is barefoot), Paul says he came wearing flipflops, but it was "so hot, that I kicked them off and walked across barefooted". Why would you walk on hot concrete barefooted? You'll burn your feet. "...and that started some rumor that because he was barefooted he's dead. I couldnt see the connection."
I dont know if this is relevant, but why is he saying "he" about himself? And after this the crowd laughs, as this is portrayed as so ridiculous. After that "Paul" added "scorched feet", so he knew what he was saying didnt make sense. Almost as if to see, will the audience even notice anything?
After that "Paul" said "but it was strange, because after that people started looking at me.. is it him? or a very good double?" and after David Letterman (interviewer) says "that was the idea, that was the other part of it, that there was a guy who looked like you taking your place" and Paul answers "well, this is him" pointing at himself. Audience laughs.
