Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

[Taggart]

It's an LSD reference! :shocked:

I knew the Beatles were doing a lot of drugs at the time, but I didn't know that one of their most beloved songs, ONE THAT I SANG FOR KARAOKE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL (!), was an ode to dropping acid.

Argh I am scarred forever!!

I learned that last night while watching dateline NBC about John Lennon and Mark Chapman. Mark Chapman makes me sick BTW.

I get a kick out of the fact that Snopes says it's false, because John Lennon, who we all knew did drugs, said that it had no relationship to LSD. Yeah, okay John!!

I guess no one at Snopes ever figured out that maybe he said it wasn't because that was the smarter response to make?? Yeah, even back then there were politically correct answers to questions!

And for tomorrows lesson....Pink Floyd and Wizard Of Oz.

I thought the term Lucy beign a synonym for LSD was common knowledge.

PSA: Mary Jane is also a drug!
