The drug use, the worship of false gods ("My Sweet Lord" if you listen to the background singers is sung to an Indian (dot not feather) deity whom I will not name), murder ("Maxwell's Silver Hammer") and despair (Eleanor Rigby), denial of Christ (not only the infamous "more popular than Jesus" line but Lennon's Imagine)...
...and the Indian Elephant they rode in on.
It's horrifying that all of a sudden in the late 60s we went from (say) Buddy Holly or Elvis or the Beach Boys, into all kinds of depravity in music.
Wow !
It’s music. I won’t defend it, but how long were we going to listen to “Peggy Sue”. ( as great as it was )
Don McLean
American Pie
And don’t forget all the weirdness in Laurel Canyon.
