John Lennon’s first son, Julian, had more of an impact on The Beatles than many might expect. For instance, Paul McCartney wrote “Hey Jude” to give Julian Lennon words of comfort as his parents went through a divorce. Another famous song by The Beatles was based on a drawing he made. However, Julian doesn’t why or how he came up with the idea behind it.

Many still believe that “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” references hallucinogenic drugs. The title clearly spells out the acronym for LSD, and the supposed drug connection led to it being banned by the BBC. However, John Lennon claimed the track had no connection to drugs and was based on a drawing created by his son.
