This Is Paul (1980) This Is Not 1968

I always thought that it was BILL in the 1980 interview. None of the answers seemed to
be real answers at all. BUT, I will say that this Version matches the 1958 pictures better than the 1962 version.
Some people do think I am crazy because I see the differences..... I guess we all get that.

Yeah, at first I didn't see the differences but know I'm seeing them all the time. It just looks to me like the one in the 1980 interview above is a natural looking Paul and his charisma seems natural as well. I think the 'Faul' figure took over and became the Paul of Wings and the one that married Linda. That is my train of thought at the moment. The 'classic' Paul is the one from the 1980 interview above (who by the way, looks different from the Paul in most other 1980 interview such as this one which is of very good quality - youtu.be/2uCsSXGN36U ).

I just think that the classic Paul bowed out sometime in 1966 and the whole Paul Is Dead thing was created to mask that fact.

I'd say not. Of course that's just my opinion, but it's Faul.
And come on, it's WINGS, for heaven's sake.
You yourself wrote: " I think the 'Faul' figure took over and became the Paul of Wings",
so which is it?

In the clip, the interviewer says, "You seem to be the same old Paul McCartney".
'Paul' looks up and rolls his eyes. (3:26)
Of course, that would make the most sense if he WAS 'the same old Paul McCartney',
wouldn't it, and that bolsters your claim.
But this person is in a Faul body. It's a Faul's face. ( )
And the banter about "There's Mull of Kyntyre" is Faul behavior to a T.

I think Faul is the essense of Paul and (whoever he is) in one body.
I don't know how it was done, but obviously this person thinks of himself as Paul,
and has his memories, yet his appearance is different, and in this video, it is Faul speaking.

So like a multiple personality?

Thank you for that, it was interesting to read. I have to disagree though. To me, the Paul in the 1980 video shares a lot with the Paul from the 1964 JFK Press Conference. Also at 6:50 or so of the video, he gets asked if he would like for Wings to be bigger than Beatles and he emphatically says NO, the Beatles thing was too hectic. I think that falls in line with a Paul that might have retired after 1966 and stayed behind the scenes. Also, at the beginning of the video , when he is seen jamming with Wings he looks out of place, like someone who is doing just that, jamming with Wings, like it's not his band but 'Bill's' band.
