i don't know if any body else noticed but if you lisen to "The Beatles" and if you lisen to the song "Lucy in the sky with daimonds" then pay close atention... take out the "ucy" in "Lucy" then take out the "in the" net the "ky" in "sky" and then the "with" and finally the "aimonds" in "daimonds".if you did that then the remainding letters should be "L.S.D"...thats a drug.

King Kandy
Oh... oh god... oh lord... the ignorance! I can't escape it!

It's been known ever since the damn song got MADE that the Beatles were heavily influenced by drugs towards making not only that song, but also nearly the entirety of their work after Rubber Soul.

Wait, the Beatles used drugs?! THERE IS NO GOD!!!!

First off...you spelt "drugs" wrong. Second...okay. You can do that with pretty much any song. Watch:

Jesus Loves the Little Children

Take the L from loves and the S at the end of loves and D from children and you have LSD. Paranoid is fun Happy Dance

I'm pretty sure this post was sarcasm, but just in case, fun fact is that Bob Dylan was the one who introduced the Beatles to pot.

Pick any rock group from the 60s. 99% of the time, they used drugs a LOT. It was the thing. The Beatles were buddies with guys like Timothy Leary.

Well, I'm an atheist and I find your banality and you very poor grammar and spelling offensive.

The correct way you sentence should read is:

"Okay, first, I'm Christian and I find that offensive. Secondly, do you need therapy? You're scaring me." Write that down, junior.

The Beatles were so high during the late 60's and early 70's that they even let Ringo sing a couple of tunes.

Just take the song "Yellow Submarine". Tell me that they weren't partying!

I'm trying to open your eyes to the bitter irony of the situation.

You, yourself, said that Scythe's post about "there is no god!" was offensive to you because you are, in fact, a Christian.

Believe me, LSD was the least dangerous thing he was using. And a few sheets of blotter acid isn't even close to the lethal dose, even if you took it all in one sitting. You're a lot more likely to OD on aspirin than LSD.

I've only done acid 2 times in my entire life, and I swore to never do it again. I had bad trips both times. So, I'm really not that knowledgeable about LSD. Unless you want to know about a bad trip, that is.

I've read Fear and Loathing many times, and every time I read about his encounter with adrenochrome, it creeps me out.

King Kandy
The adrenochrome account was admitted to be either fabricated, or highly exaggerated. Remember, even though a lot of it is based on stuff that happened to Thompson, it IS still a novel.

Impediment
This is true.

King Kandy
There is a chemical called adrenochrome in animals, but all it does is reduce bleeding. Sometimes it's used as a dietary supplement.

I wonder what the Beatles were partying on to write "Yellow Submarine". Pretty trippy shit. Awesome song, though.

1) My waving a "flage" at you does not give you leeway to blaspheme. You admitted you are a Christian, and then you angrily blasphemed towards me. Also, Jesus would look down on you saying "Screw you!" to me. He would say to turn the other cheek. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

2) You are not a bull. Not even close.

3) Typing "God Damn it" with symbols instead of letters is just as bad as saying/typing it.

4) Get back on topic. You have officially been made an example of.

Man, that, too! I played Beatles Rock Band on PS3 and the video for "I am the Walrus" was pretty freaky! Even freakier than Yellow Sub or Lucy.

I love beatles rock band.

The "I am the walrus" in the across the universe movie was brilliant. And it had a real impact on me because it got me to start reading about ken kesey and others.

No shit. He always smoked pot, and for a while he was addicted to amphetamines (speed). It was causing him serious problems for a while. Besides that though, he always stuck to soft drugs.

I've read that "desolation row" was written in inspiration from one of his only LSD trips (he did use it, but barely ever), but i've been unable to find any solid sources for that one.

It was partly inspired by John and George's terrifying first LSD trip in which they thought a house was a yellow submarine and a tiny light in an elevator was a fireball. Paul took some of those ideas and turned it into a children's song based on silly ideas you get right before you fall asleep. Nothing really sinister there. The really dirty, druggy, or violent songs are Girl, Got To Get You Into My Life, Day Tripper, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Dr. Robert, Norwegian Wood, Run For Your Life, Nowhere Man, etc.

I believe that whether or not God exists and if he can be damned or can damn something is not really the point of the thread, here. Let's stay on topic.

Yes, the Beatles did a ****-ton of drugs. Hence why they started off with their British pop invasion sound ("Hard Days Night", "Can't Buy Me Love", etc.) and why they strayed into a more trippy topic (the entirety of Magical Mystery Tour and more).

If you want real drug music, get the last album Flipper put out. It's called Love and I swear to god it actually SOUNDS like heroin.

You can tell it is a drug song just by listening to the words.Most of the songs that they sing are about drugs.

laughing

I can't tell if you're trying to be funny or not. Most songs from this era were skillfully written to have two meanings, either referring to drug use or sex.

That's one thing i like so much about the music from that era...,the subtlety. Today, the intentional obscenities are blatant. "bltch, pop that pussy" No wondering what that lyric is implying no expression

-Standby-
Well, it's common knowledge that the Beatles did drugs, and they're definitely not the only musicians that do/did.
That L.S.D.-thing has been going around since they first released the song, but the song actually originates from a drawing of John Lennon's son, Julian, who drew a picture of a classmate (Lucy O'DonnelL) in nursery school. When asked who the girl in the drawing was, he said 'It's Lucy-in the sky with diamonds.'
John Lennon stated that the connection with LSD was purely coincidental, whether you want to believe that or not is up to you.

I don't know if anyone else has posted this, as I didn't take the time to read all the replies.

Beatles forever!
