Paul McCartney...

admits to drug use during the 'Sgt. Pepper' sessions.


No shit!


And the sky is blue!


How else could perfectly good drivel like this come about:

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

That song happened to be written by John Lennon.


For McCartney's dive into drugspeak look at the lyrics of "Hello, Goodbye".

I know Ringo wasn't feeling any pain back then: "I get high with a little help from my friends".

I think it's a pretty safe bet to say they were all getting high back then.

The Beatles did drugs in the 60's?! Say it ain't so Joe.
