Thinking about the story of Paul always straightening John's tie.

Thinking about how for John, having his tie loose and the top button undone was his little act of rebellion and push back to having to wear suits all the time in their early years, and Paul always coming up to him before a show and straightening it up, was Paul saying "shape up, knock it off, don't disturb the peace."

But when Paul when he heard this, he said "There’s a story that I used to straighten John’s tie before we went on stage. That seems to have become a symbol of what my attitude was supposed to have been. I’ve never straightened anyone’s tie in my life, except perhaps affectionately.”

To Paul, he wasn't trying to tell John to stop, he wasn't asking him to change something about himself, he wasn't trying to make him do anything. To Paul, that was a show of affection. That's how he showed all the excitement and joy before they would go on stage together.

Paul saw fixing a problem as an act of love, and John saw it as an act of criticism.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a perfect illustration of how they were always doomed.
