This proves that drugs are not always a bad thing.
I never said they are, only implied it in this case.
John Lennon never wrote ANYTHING approaching the sheer awfulness of George Harrison's Hare Krsna dirge "My Sweet Lord", which in my opinion was the nadir of popular musical history.
When I was 20 we all thought John Lennon was profound. He wasn't. He was facile at best,patronising at worst, a clever popular musician in touch with his times.
