    I saw that on Yahoo News just now. It's always sad to lose an inspiration behind a classic song.

    I'm still not sure I believe the whole "Julians' friend" thing.
    Pretty coincindental isn't it?
    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds recorded at the height of LSD popularity...
    to say nothing of the psychodelic lyrics.

    All the same...

    As Patrician said, RIP Lucy.

    PS. If you've never seen "Yellow Submarine" while stoned (or tripping), you should.

    The day she died (was it yesterday?) Comcast had the story on its home page, retelling the "he got the title from a picture of a friend of his sons" story.
    At the same time, the had a beatles trivia quiz.
    One of the questions was where did they get the title, and one of the answers was a friend of his son.
    Even though they were telling the story on their homepage, if you selected that answer they said you had the wrong answer.......... :rolleyes:
