Day in the Life not about Tara

[pennylane]

I just got Paul McCartney - Paintings book and I just skimmed through it and found this:

I used to have a very good friend in the sixties, who was the son of the Irish Guinness Family, the son called Tara. He came up to Liverpool on a visit with me, and that's how we knew each other. He came round to my house in London a lot, and we would sit and talk and get a bit stoned together and he was a really nice friend. It was very sad that he died in a car accident in London. Many people have often thought that the words to the Beatles song "Day in the Life" - "He blew his mind out in car" - was about Tara. I don't think it was.

It's certainly possible that John was using the Tara Browne story as a cover for making allusions to Paul's own similiar death.

I'm in the middle of comparing Tara's accident with the PID clues. Nothing ready to post yet, except to say connections can be made. But I'm trying not to do anything akin to the old joke about "Proof that girls are evil." www.ajokes.com/jokes/1251.html. Looking back, there are lines which cross (intentionally or not), and it can be difficult to sort out what belongs who.

I heard that John was driving while on an LSD trip and that is what really inspired that line.

And it's possible that Tara's death was no accident!
