People Questioning The Whole Re-release Of Now And Then 50+ Years After The Beatles Broke Up Is Missing

People questioning the whole re-release of Now and then 50+ years after the Beatles broke up is missing the point. The song is a gift to us who are lucky enough to enjoy the magic of the Beatles, of course, but it was never made for us. Alexis Peditris described this perfectly in the last paragraphs of his review for the Guardian:

This is McCartney letting go. This is him saying one last proper goodbye to the people he loved the most, the music that defined his life, his past mistakes, his wrong choices, his "what-ifs", his family, alongside Starr, the only person who knew exactly what it was like and who's been on this journey with him together.

This is the end of 40 years of grieving that began when that gun was fired in front of the Dakota in 1980 and continued when Harrison left them on a bed in his house in 2001.

This is him, at 81 years old, knowing this could be his last decade singing the songs that he wrote with John and George because there in the songs there will always be a part of them with him, and finally being at peace with it.

This is him saying,

Thank you for the good memories.

Goodbye.

Thank you George Harrison for bringing me and the rest of the world so much joy and peace with your music. It’s impossible to describe how much you have brought to this world. You’ll always be remembered, and always be missed. I know your in heaven at complete peace now. I love you George. ❤️

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 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!”. 

fuckyeahthebeatles:  Paul wearing Johns glasses!
Paul Wearing John's Glasses

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:
