Because of that utterly bogus report of "Ringo's Confession" and the kerfuffle made over it at Fetzer's former place of publication, more people may get a chance to consider the truth as an actual possibility now. Most people won't hear of it. Period. End of discussion. But. This stupid huff-fest might get people to look into it more.
It's reprehensible that Fetzer would take the position that the story had merit because Ringo Starr would make no such confession, probably not even on his death bed. The reasons for that have to be blaringly apparent even to total dopes. The so-called "confession" itself is the summary of pretty much what all the researchers have believed for decades... including the wrong date... the American November 9 from Europe's backward way of writing September 11.
The album jacket clues point to Paul dying on 11 September 1966, but on this side of the pond we read 11/9 as November 9, and if Ringo really had been confessing, which he absolutely did not, he'd've said Paul died on September 11th, or 11 September, for sure.
Anyway, the piece Fetzer decided to make a big deal out of was TOTAL crap, and he's an asshole for using it as remotely corresponding to actuality, even though the stupid thing did contain the gist of the truth... slightly bolloxed... and he now points people to better sources with this clog in the system of pipes... though they too are not in the best shape for anyone who lacks patience, which nowadays is almost everyone.
Sheesh. Clare Kuehn is a brilliant young lady, with a very incisive mind, but can't express herself without getting hopelessly lost in the weeds. She's writing a book about her researches, about all the nuances of this ordeal, and I hope to the cosmos most high she finds a good editor.
I have this fantasy that by the fiftieth anniversary of his death, the truth will be out there for anyone to look at in a concise and easily readable form. I'm thinking of asking Barry Scheck to prepare a summation for us, and, oh, if I could get my hands on the fiends who are doing this shit....
always and any time....
