Are you saying that this lyrics are genuine ?

Rellay, that sonds interesting. All of them ????

Do you (he) mean that people don't care about the music, just follow
the media (eg the TV) and don't think for themselves? That is nearly
a bigger threat.

Don't you agree that the musical movement during the 60s was political ?

What difference does it make that he was a homosexual ?

So they (The Rolling Stones) were judged by their look.

He refused ?

Who says it stans for LSD?
The real story is this: John Lennon came home one day and his son had drawn
a picture. A typical five year old picture, with people 'hanging' in the
air with no contact to the ground. And John Lennon asked him what the 
painting was called, and his son said "It's Lucy in the sky, with diamonds."

It's a well known fact that very many famous artists either were mad by
nature, or temorarily 'made' mad by using drugs. 
Along the lines in this aricle:
Samuel T. Colridge wrote a lot of his lyrics under the influende of
Laudanum. Therefor all litterature, or at least all poems, will turn
you/your kids into drug addicts.
Vincent van Gogh drank Laudanum too, so paintings are dangerous, too. etc.



|> ...Aaron revealed that it was his Church that started ... Ozzy Osbourne...

"I'm not in for the Devil, I'm just a rock'n'roll rebel"
					Ozzy Osbourne


And about the well known quote of Lohn Lennon:
|> "We are more popular than Jesus now.'' 

I'm sure that they WAS more popular, and ment more to British young
people of that time than Jesus did.
