Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

When "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band" was released, it not only changed the way Rock music was seen by the world at large, but it created some controversy, too. The focal point of it was the song "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". It was quickly thought to be an anagram for LSD. Lennon claimed it wasn't, and tried to correct the missconception in as many interviews as the question was asked of him. The idea for the song, he said, came from a drawing his son Julian had done at school. "Julian came home and showed me a picture he had drawn of a friend at school. He said: 'Daddy, look. It's Lucy, in the sky, with diamonds.' There was nothing more to it, really." Many people apparently still think the drug reference is true, so I am posting here the original picture done by Julian Lennon that prompted John to write one of The Beatles' greatest songs. It's a little yellowish, but you can see Lucy to the left and the diamonds to the right.
