And that's why we have opinions. Scoutmaster's humble opinion is that, even after 40+ years of hype and analysis, the Beatles remain underrated, musically (have to ignore the politics of just about everybody in the music industry since Scoutmaster was born, or the world would be without any music other than Toby Keith). I haven't forked out the money yet for the remastered set that was just released, but plan to do so soon.
Scoutmaster's other opinion is that John Lennon would have had no qualms telling the world that Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds was about LSD. Ingestion of LSD may have helped write the song, but I'm one of those crazy believers that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Or that Julian inspired John with his grade-school drawing of a classmate.
John’s denial of the drug connection on the Dick Cavett show, if you’ve seen it, seems pretty darn sincere to me.
