Don't believe me?

People, when I say something about music trivia... listen to me. Believe me, I know. I fucking hate it when everyone contributes every famous song from the 70's and 60's to some drug. Never the less mate, it's no problem, just a pet peeve of mine.

Heh, funny, I just read this earlier today:

In an interview published in this month's Uncut, Sir Paul admitted drugs "informed" much of the Beatles' music. He said the song Got To Get You Into My Life was "about pot - although everyone missed it at the time", and Day Tripper was "about acid".
He added it was "pretty obvious" that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was inspired by LSD, and other songs made "subtle hints" about narcotics

I know Lennon says it was really about his son's drawing, but the acronym is just too obvious, especially when written by the same person who said "[LSD] went on for years. I must have had a thousand trips. I used to just eat it all the time."



sorry for threadjacking but I'm currently doing a research project on the Beatles and came across that earlier
