Back in 1991, before I had Internet, I created a fake newspaper blurb from the future, cutting and pasting and using a Zerox machine, with page A25 of the New York Times dated 18 June 2067 with the headline "Paul McCartney still rocking at 125!"

That is just great!

That is TOO funny and if humans could live that long, that would be Paul!

@njr Yes indeed!

I bet someday (in the year 2525, if man is still alive) they will be able to clone them and start all over from the beginning! Wouldn’t that be a wild experiment to see what those 4 would come up with if they had them grow up in a created city that looked like Liverpool back then? They’d have to clone Pete too and have everyone else be lifelike androids! I know, a total fantasy and wildly unethical!
I bet @LadyLeslie would like my idea, though! Are you out there, woman?! -

I bet @LadyLeslie would like my idea, though! Are you out there, woman?!I understand what your saying, but it's a bit like Back To The Future 2. EVERYTHING MUST be timed to perfection. Paul MUST meet John to become Lennon and McCartney. The horse that Mona Best, bet on (Never Say Die) MUST WIN the race that provided her with the money to enable her the buy the house for the Casbah Club. And most important too is George Martin MUST be at Abbey Road Studios to hear the Beatles, for it was only George that got them the recording contract with EMI. Cor blimey!! This would make a fantastic movie. Back To The Beatles (part 1) Part 2, could be about what if Paul had never met Denny Laine, to help him form Wings. What if Linda had flatly refused to play in the band. What if Henry Mucullock, and the other guy, HAD gone to Lagos to be part of the recording of Band On The Run. What if Paul's Japanese drug bust had got Paul 7 years, or more, jail time. What if he hadn't of been busted AT ALL. Would Wings have lasted another 10 years? Would Wings still been going now? :::: hmm thinks
:::: I must get to work trying to figure out a script for this. Me day dreaming

The point of the experiment would be to see what would happen if you tried to recreate everything as it was (all the same people) How much would happen as we knew it?
It would be kind of like that Jim Carrey movie The Truman Show. -

Did you like that movie, by Danny Boyle? "Yesterday". I have it on DVD. I do basically like it, but having the "John" lookalike, look like John did in 1968, was a bit of an issue with me. Johns style had moved on a lot since 1968. Hair especially. Plus, Danny Boyle missed a trick. He shoulda got Paul and Ringo in the movie, playing cameo roles. Paul coulda been a busker outside a toilet playing Ed Shearan songs. And Ringo should have been the toilet attendant moving Paul on for making too much noise. They both woulda loved being in the movie

Somebody on here spoiled the John Lennon appearance before I could see the movie (I was royally pissed!) Anyway, yes, I liked the movie very much. I agree it would have been super cool if they had been able to get Paul & Ringo in it in cameos!
As far as Robert Carlyle playing John, I thought it was quite poignant. Who knows what hairstyle John would have had in 2019? They had to “age” the actor because he is only 62 today! He had the long hair for his role in the TV show Once Upon A Time and I guess they didn’t want to put a wig on him and just greyed his hair. He’s a lot shorter than John too (not quite 5’7”) but we do shrink in height as we age. Plus he’s Scottish, so the accent was a tad off. But just to think that in that reality John was alive, put a tear in my eye.
