At least he seems harmless in in all the years that followed, so nobody died. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khol Posted July 3, 2020 #53 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I suppose its an odd topic for song..a string of murders lol. But its that very thing about him.

lightly Posted July 3, 2020 #54 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I think one of the most beautiful Beatle songs is..." If I fell". Written by John in Feb. 1964. John sings the first verse....then Paul sings the 2nd verse (refrain). ...with John then singing a lower harmony part...which resulted in the exquisitely beautiful harmonies . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously about Ghislaine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll obviously get shot in courtroom. (I better stop here before someone takes me seriously). Edited July 3, 2020 by Bed of chaos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
