See post 40....nobody, but nobody could do it like Shat.

...snicker

[murron]

Yes, I’ve heard the story. I’m just saying I don’t believe it.

[La Lydia]

Stay away from the brown acid. ... “The brown acid that is circulating around us isn’t too good. It is suggested that you stay away from that.”

[Sybeck1]

Rocketman.....

[knarf]

Shat?

Past tense of shit?

Yeah ... I guess he is.

[Borges]

Who at the time was better?

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Don’t get me wrong. I have always loved the Beatles. But John Lennon could deny it all he wanted to.

Why would he? Lennon was the sort of man who'd brag about the song being about LSD if that were the truth. He and his son Julian both say the song was inspired by the young Julian's drawing, which can be seen in this article about the real Lucy.

[Gabz]

His b*tch of a stepmother has made sure of that.

I can't attest to anything other than your one word description of her, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least. My mother had several encounters with her, not a pleasant person in the least.

I do not really care, but the album DID help me get next to Lorraine from Houston in 1967. She had it, I wanted it, and a better deal was never struck.

[jimfree]

Not guilty!

[NRA1995]

I prefer “Judy In Disguise With Glasses” myself.

[Deaf Smith]

“Hey, I’m a believer”

That was the Monkees.

[murron]

He would deny it because they were taking a lot of criticism about their LSD usage, which they admitted at the same time the album Sgt. Pepper came out. In fact, that picture does not look like the drawings of a 5 or 6 year old.

[wordsofearnest]

And she did it in the road.

[chris_bdba]

Oh that is awful. I’m just about the same age as Julian but was lucky that my parents were not divorced like a lot of my friends parents were. It’s sad what happens to the kids. Julian was doing pretty well there for a while and then he just seemed to disappear from the music scene. What happened to him?

[hoe_cake]

LOL.

[Windflier]

Julian was doing pretty well there for a while and then he just seemed to disappear from the music scene. What happened to him?

It seemed to me that his dad just cast too long a shadow for him to grab the light himself. It didn't help that people who were producing him did everything they could to make him into a clone of his dad. Sorta the same thing as what happened with Frank Sinatra Jr.

Plus, you actually have to sell records to survive in that business. I don't know that Julian produced anything that sold, after his initial debut.

[raccoonradio]

Boston novelty band the Swinging Erudites did a Beatles spoof medley that featured “Stupid People Living In The Past” (Sgt Pepper).... also
“Some people wanna rid the world of Paul McCartney/What’s wrong with that, I’d like to know” (Silly Love Songs), and
this tidbit, entitled “Losers in the Studio, and Dying”:

Picture yourself making songs in the studio
Trying to pad this out to LP size
Suddenly someone says you’re out of money
Did I mention (forget name)’s thighs?

etc.

He would deny it because they were taking a lot of criticism about their LSD usage, which they admitted at the same time the album Sgt. Pepper came out.

He was still denying it over 10 years after the album came out, even after he'd received a US green card. And John Lennon admitted to things which drew a lot more criticism than composing a song about acid. I think the simplest explanation is the drawing.

In fact, that picture does not look like the drawings of a 5 or 6 year old.

It looks about like what I used to draw at that age, though my subjects were usually angry, predatory dinosaurs.
