Fifty years ago this Sunday, September 22nd, 1969, The "Paul[McCartney] Is Dead" controversy was started when an Illinois college newspaper ran an article with the headline "Clues Hint at Beatle Death." The piece cites the Sgt. Pepper album cover and the line "I buried Paul," which John Lennon would later claim is "I'm very bored," in the fade out of "Strawberry Fields Forever."
