PAUL MCCARTNEY & GEORGE HARRISON — Trying To Close A Suitcase, 1964

As a fellow blind I don't think Paul was short sighted or at least very lightly. He doesn't do "the totally lost face I'll stare somewhere faking confidence" or the evergreen "I am not squinting my eyes, I am just focusing on the serious matters you are bringing in the conversation"

He is being cute as hell and the cheeky boyfriend with John

Paul Wearing John's Glasses

Paul would often steal John’s glasses, and refuse to give them back, and True Fact: Without his glasses, or contacts, John was legally blind.  I vaguely remember a quote along the lines of “John would be searching for his glasses where he’d last left them, only for Paul to be walking about wearing them, and not telling him. And then John would figure it out and shout, “MACCA!”. 

The Daily Mail reported that Paul also needed glasses, but never wore them in public because glasses were John’s thing, at least according to “McCartney’s friends”, how true that is I don’t know. But it gives me an excuse to post these other pictures in which Paul is wearing glasses similar to John’s, but which may or may not be his: 

Can we talk about Your School?

Recorded in 1984, never released (except a clip on Oobu Joobu)

We're gonna talk it out someday All that is nearest and dearest I want it, you want it, they want it too And me? I want to love you Come on baby ... what have you've got Tell me that I learned a lot in your school, your school... I never thought [it meant/I'd learn] so much I'm just a poor fool in love, your school... I never felt the gentle touch until ..... I met you Oohhh you better tell me all you know Concerning this situation oohhoohooh I'd like, you'd like it, they always do... Me? I still wanna love you

I can't help but interpret this as Paul desperately wishing for a really deep and public reconciliation with John.

Two lyrics it puts me in mind of:

I never give you my number I only give you my situation And in the middle of investigation I break down

You Never Give Me Your Money

and

You must have learned something in all those years

How Do You Sleep

In the third one they were clearly enjoying poor Georgie. Flirty Paul in leather was ready for that moment

Probably what happened during Magical Mystery Tour

Those boys who are wearing their hair long are saying no to the masculine mystique. They are saying no to that brutal, sadistic, tight-lipped, crew-cut, you know, Prussian… big-muscle, you know, Ernest Hemingway… kill bears when there are no bears to kill and napalm all the children in Vietnam and Cambodia to prove that I’m a man, you know and be dominant and superior to everyone concerned and never show any softness. Well, these boys that are wearing their hair long are saying, ‘No… I don’t have to be all that crew-cut and tight-lipped, I don’t have to be dominant and superior to anyone, I don’t have to have big muscles because there aren’t any bears to kill. I don’t have to, you know, kill anybody to prove anything. I can be tender, and I can be sensitive, and I can be compassionate… and I can admit sometimes that I’m afraid, and I can even cry, and I am a man… and I am my own man’. And that man, who is strong enough to be gentle… that is a new man.
