People change, and relationships change. I have seen enough of this in my life to know that to think people will be consistent is too much to ask; many go crazy; they become different people as they are changed by life circumstances. I have had people to whom I have been impeccably loyal turn on me for the love of a buck or to go along with a trend.
When mega artists change, often this does not affect their artistic output, which they are able to compartmentalize.
The "original Paul" was a young man, unmarred by fame, power, influence and extreme wealth. In between the original Paul and 1980, the McCartney had sued Lennon to force his management on the band; the band had split up many times; and they could all see through one another after all those years.
It is easy to put on a public presentation of grace and charm, which is a facade that can crack after a while, especially if you don't need to care how you're perceived.
McCartney was aware of things about John that most people were not. For example, are you aware that the lyrics to the song "Come Together," written and sung by John, include the repeated line, "Shoot me"?
From Macca's point of view, maybe John got what he asked for. And frankly when your friend is shot, you may not have a damned thing to say about it, and don't want to be commenting.
