Lennon swore that one day his kid showed him a drawing and John said, "What's that?" to which the kid responded "Lucy in the sky w/ diamonds." The fact that the title of the eventual song can be abbreviated 'LSD' probably means as much as Paul's bare feet on the cover of Abbey Road. Despite all the "evidence," Paul would seem to be alive and well today. Now, as for his compositional talent... The Marx Bros. also got fed up with pedants reading things into their work. Groucho denied any deep symbolism about class struggle and the decadent upper class. They did stuff because it was funny, despite their communist last name. All hail Marx and Lennon! +++paul
