His lyrical inspiration might have been from LSD, as he was using it at the time the band put Sgt Pepper's together. But Lennon has never made bones about his drug use before. He was arrested in the 60's before the release of Pepper for possession. He also freely admitted to using a variety of other drugs including heroin, which he claimed only to have snorted. He even wrote a song about kicking the habit- hence Cold Turkey. Another reason I doubt he really gave a shit about what others thought about his hobbies. 2) As for Ringo's drug use being a contributing factor to the band breaking up. Ringo left the band during the White Album sessions and was asked to return by each but the situation deteriorated mainly because of McCartney's enormous ego and desperation to keep the band as one unit and Lennon/Harrison's mixture of boredom and frustration with McCartney and the entire Beatles idea. This is most evident on the White Album and Let it Be, as the styles of music (one needn't look further than contrasting McCartney's output of love ballads and pop standards and period confections like I Will, Blackbird, Let it Be, Two of Us, The Long and Winding Road, Honey Pie etc with Lennon's Yer Blues, Across the Universe, Bungalow Bill, Dig a Pony and other such dark material. 3) Seeing as how Lennon is Lucy's sole author, I think McCartney's comments on it are solely commentary and should be treated as such. Amazing Song Regardless of Meaning | Reviewer: Lillian | 11/21/09 I wouldn't be surprised if they were on LSD when this song was written, but regardless of their condition it's still one of my favorite songs by The Beatles. I like the image in my mind when the lyrics are playing. It's absolutely amazing. The Beatles are amazing song writers, and I think everyone should accept their music how it is. no LSD | Reviewer: chifbandit | 11/19/09 For those who think this song is about LSD, you need to read more. Also, if you think a person like Lennon would mask if it was about LSD, youre incredibly mistaken again..haha. The song is about the girl his son drew, thats it. They made the twist to play with your mind, thats all. The beatles have been known to do so... Lucy | Reviewer: L | 11/17/09 Paul McCartney admitted this song was inspired by LSD in an interview with rolling stone. Amazing amazing song no matter what it's about, it doesn't detract from the song that it's inspired by drugs. Though i think there is some truth in the painting Julian Lennon named lucy in the sky with diamonds story. John no doubt noticed the abreviation of the tittle LSD, and saw how in the painting the girl had diamond shape eyes and how everything was surreal and reflective of an LSD trip, with orange skys and flowers over lucys head. so this inspired him to write a song about LSD inspired by and referencing to the immagry of his sons painting. Obvious if you think about it. I don't see why people can't see this and have to back one or the other opinion, when clearly it is a mixture of both. i met george sister last week | Reviewer: keith lininger | 11/18/09 yes the song is about lsd when i met george sister she said it was about lsd and that they smoked alot of weed growing up and while playing which his sis thought was perfectly fine and they all did lsd then eneded up in rehab and once they got out they weere all clean and ringo later on started doing heroine and thats a little part of why they fell out LSD, foos. | Reviewer: Zee | 11/10/09 "Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain, >Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.< Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers, >That grow so incredibly high.<" Soo...obviously its about LSD. But they had backup stories, I mean..what band would have blasted that there song was about drugs? use your head people, those stories like the kid or a girl named Lucy, Those are backup reasons, if they where asked. They wouldn't announce that it was a LSD trip. but I guess..believe whatever you want. What i think | Reviewer: kirstie. | 11/9/09 To be honest, is very obvious that it's about drugs, and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the L, S, and D are all in capitals, and the song words all relate to it. it might be about his son aswell, but its kinda straight forward this song isnt abotu drugs | Reviewer: diana leone | 11/6/09 This song isnt about LSD yes it is a huge relation thaat lucky sky diamonds.. is LSD but i have a book my daddy gave me and its ring, paul john, and george writing abotu wht each song means and they said lucy in the sky with dimonds was about johns son who drew a picture about a girl in his class he liked and her name was lucy when john asked what is this? his son said.. "lucy in the sky with diamonds" wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/5/09 omg i love the song it is so cool. Who cares if it is about lsd or some 4 year old. None of it matters man. All that matters is music. Dont try to over analise something. Dont lose the fun of the music. Would your life be any different even if you did know the meaning of the song. Dont be square dude. Just let the song take you far away. Peace out NOT LSD. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/1/09 I don't think that the Beatles would write this kind of song. I think that Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds is an awsome song. I dont think that its about LSD, I recently did a report on LSd and this dosent sound like side effects from LSD.
