Re: Knights In Service of Satan & Other Conspiraci

John Lennon was asked about the "hidden messages" in some of his songs. He thought it was ridiculous and played with the pundits in "I Am the Walrus". He thought the line, "lemon yellow custard dripping from a dead dog's eye" would make people go crazy!
He was right.
In Abby Hoffman's book, "Revolution for the Hell of It", he said he and other Yippies looked to the Beatles' hidden messages for their political inspiration. Kind of scary looking back on it. I don't think even Lennon knew the amount of influence he had at the time. Their musical "messages" inspired not only the Yippie Party in '68 and '72, but also Charles Manson and his interpretation of "Helter Skelter".

I heard about KISS and AC/DC, but that was Waaaaaay after my time! lol
