:38:00
Almost like the situation
with the Christ statement.

:38:02
But see, they just asked
me a question. I gave them an answer.

:38:06
And then it was blown up.
:38:07
I mean, you know, I just spoke the truth
and it's sometimes painful.

:38:13
This is the truth.
My son came home with a drawing...

:38:16
and showed me
this strange-Iooking woman flying around.

:38:19
I said, "What is it?" He said,
"It's Lucy in the sky with diamonds."

:38:22
I thought, "That's beautiful."
I immediately wrote a song about it.

:38:25
The song had gone out,
the whole album had been published...

:38:27
when somebody noticed
that the letters spelled out "LSD."

:38:32
And I had no idea about it.
:38:33
And, of course,
after that I was checking...

:38:35
all the songs to see
what the letters spelled out.

:38:37
They didn't spell out anything.
None of the others.

:38:39
It wasn't about that at all, you know.
:39:29
The terrible news came
that Brian had died.

:39:32
Apparently, he'd taken an overdose.
:39:34
We were so shocked because
Brian was such a kingpin...

:39:37
of what was going on in our lives.
He was the father figure.

:39:40
And, all of a sudden, that had finished.
:39:42
That really sent things into chaos.
:39:46
Tickets, please. Thanks very much.
:39:49
Following a lecture that everybody
had been to, to see the Maharishi...

:39:53
they were invited to go to Bangor
for a weekend...

:39:56
to do meditation and to feel
the experience of meditation.
