Gee and I thought it was a mythical person and very real LSD.

That's what my mom also thought when she preached to me how EVIL the Beatles were and they created songs like this to get kids to start taking drugs.

Check out Lennon's interview with Rolling Stone in 1970, he describes his first trip. Pretty funny.

I was quite touched with the kindess Julian reached out with starting last spring for her.

Various Versions

Elton John and Natalie Cole also had remakes of this song. I prefer the Elton John version over the Beatles...more melodic in my opinion.
