Paul McCartney Is Dead & Eminem Controls Your Mind
Is your favorite musician... a clone? In this mind-bending episode of Tape Spaghetti, Blake & Scott peel back the tinfoil on one of music’s strangest subgenres: the replacement theory. From the eternal “Paul is dead” saga to the internet’s obsession with Avril Lavigne’s alleged body double, and the bewildering case of Andrew W.K., the guys dig into the lore, the weirdness, and the very real questions about identity and authorship these conspiracies raise. Why are we so quick to believe someone’s been swapped out? Is it just fun fandom—or something deeper?
