Let me start with what John Lennon said in the Imagine album
HOW DO YOU SLEEP
SO SGT. PEPPER TOOK YOU BY SURPRISE
YOU BETTER SEE RIGHT THROUGH THAT MOTHER'S EYES
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
HOW DO YOU SLEEP?
HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?
You live with straights who tell you, you was king
JUMP WHEN YOUR MOMMA TELL YOU ANYTHING
The only thing you done was YESTERDAY
And since you've gone you're just another day
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
BEAR THE WORDS OF THIS CAREFULLY IN MIND AS YOU READ ON.
It concerns the Beatles song YESTERDAY supposedly written by Paul McCartney.
McCartney always maintains that he woke up and the entire tune was in his head.
His girlfriend at the time 'he wrote it' was Jane Asher. The Asher family home was above her father's private consulting rooms at 57 Whimpole Street. McCartney lived there in 1964-1966 during his relationship with Jane Asher.
Jane Asher's father was Dr Richard Asher. He was the senior physician responsible for the mental observation ward at the Central Middlesex Hospital he described and named Munchausan Syndrome in a 1951 article in The Lancet. Reputedly Dr Richard Asher killed himself in 1969. He 'blew his mind out in a car'. (Note: A Day in the Life from the Sergeant Pepper album was written in 1967)
Now Doctor Asher wrote several articles for the Lancet.
The Dangers of going to bed (1947) - "one of the most influential medical papers ever written"
The Seven Sins of Medicine (1949, in Lancet 1949 Aug 27;2(6574):358-60)
Myxoedematous Madness(1949)
Munchausen’s syndrome (1951, in Lancet 1951 Feb 10;1(6650):339-41)
Why are medical articles so dull(1958)
The Talking Sense trilogy:
Clinical Sense (1959) with a rueful correction in The dog in the night-time (1960)
Making Sense (1959, in Lancet, 1959, 2, 359)
Talking Sense (1959, in Lancet, 1959, 2, 417)
AND
Respectable Hypnosis(1956)
Jane Asher's mother was Margaret Augusta Eliot She was a professor of oboe at the Guildhall school of music and drama, and her best-known student was the Beatles record producer George Martin. Eliot was an also honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music. In 2011, just before her death at age 97, she appeared in the documentary film Produced by George Martin. She was suffering with Dementia.
Martin has said that he wasn't impressed by the Beatles when he first heard them for Parlophone (part of EMI). He was going to reject them but when he asked them if they saw anything they didn't like Harrison said 'Well I don't like your tie for a start' . It made Martin laugh and it wasn't their music that made him take them on it was their cheekiness. He didn't like the drummer Pete Best because he was too serious. Parlophone had previously made its name making comedy records. It is thought that Parlophone had been recommended to the Beatles manager Brian Epstein by Steven Ward of Profumo scandal fame.
One of Dr Richard Asher's students was Oliver Sacks (as was Jonathon Miller). Sacks wrote the book Awakenings which became a film starring Robin Williams and Robert de Niro. But he also wrote the book Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain.
There's more to this but the suggestion is that the Beatles was a psychological experiment and that a good deal of the Beatles recordings were not written by them even though they think they wrote them.
Some of the words of their songs (particularly the ones written by John Lennon) suggest that they may have been aware that they were being manipulated.
Take Strawberry Fields Forever for example.
"Strawberry Fields Forever"
Let me take you down, cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down, cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low [See Note]
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down, cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a "Yes" but it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
Let me take you down, cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Note:
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
The Asher Family are descendents of the Plantagenets. See Jane Asher - Richard III
AND
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
OK DON'T BELIEVE?
LET ME CONTINUE THEN
My theory is that childhood memories of Strawberry Field in Liverpool was the hypnotic trigger for John Lennon. Let me take you down cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real..................
Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army children's home in Liverpool. Remember that Lennon had been an Orphan until his aunt Mimi took him on................
Paul McCartney's mother died suddenly ...........
her name was Mary.............
'I wake up to the sound of Music, Mother Mary comes to me"................Another hypnotic trigger.
BACK TO LENNON'S WORDS
SO SGT. PEPPER TOOK YOU BY SURPRISE
YOU BETTER SEE RIGHT THROUGH THAT MOTHER'S EYES
THE OLD PAUL IS DEAD HE IS NOW A MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.
LENNON REALISED AND IT COST HIM HIS LIFE AT THE HANDS OF ANOTHER MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.
That's possible
I have another theory but I need to check with Mommy first
lol
