I don't know if there is a consensus on who the fool on the hill was, but in Barry Miles' book, In The Sixties he talks about what a good mimic real Paul was. He said that he listened to a tape Paul made imitating American DJ's and that Paul did an excellent impersonation of Mick Jagger. So Paul could very well been the "fool" mentioned.

Rocky Raccoon is coming to mind after watching that clip. Funny how your "Faul" can mimic Paul's mimicking skills.

Well, I believe Paul came back during the latter portion of recording the White Album and stuck around to the end of the Beatles (and beyond). "Can you take me back where I came from" and all that jazz. As for "the Fool," (despite being the name of the artists they befriended that designed Pepper's paper sleeve and the majority of the Apple Boutique's clothing), I think a case could be made for both Paul or the replacement. While "man of a thousand voices" would describe Paul fairly well, the song also mentions that he sees "the sun going down." The usage and imagery of the sun post '66 is always code for Paul, ergo the song would be about "Bill." And can we get past the Faul name? I've always hated it. Faux-Paul is much more clever.

Faux-Paul sounds so pretentious though. Faul is fine with me, and it works, so: no, we can't.

Faul is just a contraction for False (faux if you speak zee French) Paul.
It's just something taken from 60IF, which may I remind everyone, is not the holy bible of Paul replacement..
I just avoid it by saying Sir Paul, although I don't necessarily believe the early times replacement was him, so a bit of dilemma there.
