Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds - no, it's a different Q

Has the original drawing this song is (supposedly) based on ever been shown publicly?

This took, oh, about 30 seconds:

  1. go to www.snopes.com

  2. do a search on Lennon Lucy Sky
    Google is your friend.

:smack:

And I’ve been to that page, but didn’t remember they had the drawing.

#4

Not only that, but then we wouldn’t have had the chance to discuss it. Personally, I don’t see Lucy in the drawing. What was he…4 months old when he drew it?

#5

Jules would’ve been about 4 and a half years old.

#6

Neither did John. So he asked and Jules said “It’s Lucy. In the sky. With diamonds.”

Hopefully this didn’t lead John to mocking and laughing at his kidergarten-aged son.

While I can’t pick out a face in that picture, either, I do think that is shows considerable technical skill for a kid 4.5 years old. His stars are nicely symmetric, his coloring even and mostly within the lines, and it’s fairly well balanced. Most kids that age would have a hard time with that.

#8

I wouldn’t think so. Now, if Paul had done it…

#9

Color me dumb in the sky, but I don’t get the difference between Julian saying it as a single phrase and him reiterating it as three separate clauses.

And why would Julian’s insistence lead to mocking…?

I wonder how much someone would pay for that drawing?
