Paul McCartney was asked, by The Daily Telegraph, about the role drugs played in the Beatles' work and he replied "um, er, probably quite important. It was a development thing."
"It's difficult - I think the answer is quite. It certainly made us stretch further than we might otherwise, from Rubber Soul onwards. But I have the problem now - now that things have got a bit out of control - of not wanting to be seen advocating it. ’Cos we did some pretty good work before that, as well. It's not a requirement."
I don't dispute they did classic work before drugs, but it sure as hell pushed their music to a new, more sophisticated level. Just listen to "Tomorrow Never Knows" for a taste of it. The lyrics - the music - makes you feel like you're on an acid trip by simply listening to it.
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
