Paul's sparkling green vest is delightful That he wore at the Shakespeare benefit show. (Also his blue velvet jacket at Stella's Paris show.)

Is there a picture of him wearing a green vest at the Shakespeare benefit? I do believe that was from last Christmas.

I saw a pic of Paul in a Green vest from when he last appeared on SNL

I love Paul's rich warm sort of husky Liddypudlian speaking voice, what a treat to hear him recite words of the immortal Bard. High culture from Paul (not THAT "hi hi hi" kind of high, LOL) which might compensate for Macca not playing Romeo in the sixties film classic "Romeo and Juliet" by Franco Zefferelli. Depriving us of seeing that. He probably didn't think it would be fun for him, at the time. The director had wanted Paul to be his Romeo. Or Juliet's, rather. I read somewhere that Olivia Hussey bragged that Paul wanted to marry her or go out with her or something (she was Franco's Juliet in that movie). But right after she boasted about that, he married Linda.
Olivia Hussey was 16 when that movie was filmed!! And Leonard Whiting (Romeo) turned 17 during the filming. I had always read that they specifically wanted R&J actors to be the age that the characters were in the story. Paul, at 25 when it was filmed, would have been a tad old. But this does say that he was asked to play the part. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet_%281968_movie%29
Jane was 17 when they met and dated. Yeah, I don't get it either. I'm not too fond of young girls myself. never got the attraction.
Yeah, and he was not quite 21. Big difference at that age! Not so much at 20 & 24. And her parents actually let him move in their house! What were they thinking?

They were thinking of a handsome rich son in law.

Is it true that Paul did Dress Me up As A Robber and Not Such a Bad Boy at this event?
According to AbbiesRd, no: Here's the list of songs that Paul sang at the Shakespeare event. Live and Let Die (at piano) - cast came on stage about halfway though All My Loving I Saw Her Standing There Dress Me Up As A Robber (partial) Here There Everywhere Yesterday (partial, cast sang the rest) Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (Shatner reciting, Paul back-up vocals) Good Day Sunshine Let It Be Sgt Pepper (started, then cast sang along) The End And I Love Her (was partially recited as in a letter, then sung by Erik McCormack/Martin Short)
