I'm Looking Through You:
The Mysterious Change in Paul McCartney's Eye Color
Tina Foster
The journey through McCartney's eye color transformation is reminiscent of Crystal Gayle's famous song, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." From 1966, when Paul's eyes were commonly described as brown or hazel, to 1967, where they mysteriously appear green in various media, the narrative takes a surreal turn that fuels the PID speculation.
Paul McCartney, as we knew him before the switch, had unmistakably brown eyes. Despite occasional claims of hazel, photographs and eyewitness accounts consistently attest to their brown hue. Even Madame Tussaud's wax figure of Paul, renowned for its accuracy, depicts him with brown eyes, further cementing this perception.
Enter "Faul McCartney," the imposter who replaced Paul after his untimely demise. Faul's natural eye color, as PID research shows, is green. This assertion gains traction from close scrutiny of various media appearances, such as the 1967 promotional video for "Strawberry Fields Forever" and the "Fool on the Hill" segment of Magical Mystery Tour. In both instances, Faul's eyes distinctly appear green, a sharp departure from Paul's brown or hazel eyes.
The disparity in eye color between Paul and Faul becomes glaringly apparent when juxtaposed side by side. The contrast is striking, leaving proponents of the PID theory convinced that they are looking at two different individuals. Some suggest that Faul may have resorted to wearing brown contact lenses to emulate Paul's original eye color, but skeptics remain unconvinced, citing inconsistencies in the disguise.
Amidst the fervent debate over McCartney's true fate and identity, the discrepancy in eye color stands as yet another enigmatic piece in the PID puzzle. While skeptics dismiss it as a trivial detail or attribute it to lighting and other factors, believers argue that it serves as a tangible clue pointing to a larger conspiracy.
As discussions surrounding the PID theory continue to captivate and divide enthusiasts and skeptics alike, the mystery of Paul McCartney's eye color remains an intriguing subplot in the ongoing saga of one of music's most enduring legends. Whether it is a mere coincidence or a deliberate clue planted by conspirators, only time—and perhaps further investigation—will tell. Until then, the enigma persists, inviting speculation and scrutiny from all corners of the cultural landscape.
All of this and more is discussed in Plastic Macca.
