Ok, let's depart from height and facial features and look at something else which is noteworthy. For this next section I am going to show a series of pre-1966 and post-1966 photos of Paul playing his bass guitar. As someone who plays the guitar myself, there are certain things I see which are most definately consistant with the way he formed his right hand on the neck of his bass over the years. Every guitar player has their own unique look and technique which sets them apart. Yes, there will always be similarities between players, but there is also a uniqueness in how every player's hand appears. What I believe we see in this series of photographs is that the right hand in all of these photos is the same one.
think we could probably say that this finger and hand position would qualify for a trademark as it seems to be the one he most commonly uses. Perhaps a better comparison would be if I could display these pictures in motion so you could also see his mannerisms as he plays, the way he moves his fingers, etc. My point: You can get all the plastic surgury in the world in order to make yourself look as much like someone as you can, but even if you were able to pull THAT part off, which is questionable in my opinion, there will still be the problem of not only learning how to play the songs correctly, but you also have to learn to LOOK the same playing them, and be able to sing the same, etc. Too many hurdles to overcome...and after having watched Let It Be, there is no question that it is Paul McCartney singing and playing...the voice and the mannerisms are the same.
i stole this because i'm too stupid to have an original idea

Well... so much for second chances!
