They swore up and down that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds had nothing to do with drugs....lol...those liars. I think pretty much every beatles song, can be found to have some underlying drug reference or meaning. Hell they were the most famous drug users in the world at one time.

I have every episode aired saved on my DVR. One of the best shows about drugs to ever come on TV. I need to upload them on my server. If you havent seen them yet, make it a point to catch it whenever its on.

Hell yea, I think everytime we have a bunch of people over smoking, someone notices them on the DVR and we end up watching them. I get a great trippy buzz from just watching them.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds isnt about LSD...its song inspired by lenons son julian, he drew a picture of his classmate lucy, and called it lucy - in the sky with diamonds...lenon then wrote the song with his own ideas of an innocent childhood fantasy and some lyrics inspired by Alice in Wonderland by lewis carroll

lol...really i didnt notice, i just hate the way people insist that lenon was lying...they admitted that other songs were drug related why would he lie about this one?

I dont know, i just thought of them always in that sort of way.They would fool people with their lyrics. New how to mess with peoples minds. Clever bunch. Maybe it's not the initial meaning of the song. But they could be just merging the two, it just seems like too big of a coincidence.

well correct me if I'm wrong but the beetles were not allowed to make obvious references to drugs at the time?? so it would make sense to have a back story about his son
also I am the walrus about pot???? haha thats about the silliest thing I've ever heard lol

actually one the reasons I LOVE the song(obviously) is cause of how incredibly complex it seems to be(tho I admit I am not a musician) but I pick up on patterns in the song that I don't normally when on lucy...actually the song's metalic sound perfectly blends with the acid audio hallucinations as well...I actually heard the song so completely different after acid once I didn't think it was ever gonna sound the same again(but it does)
