> The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" is a nonsensical song written by John Lennon after he received a letter from a school where students were studying the lyrics of his songs.
> The song was largely based on Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus & The Carpenter." It’s purpose was to confuse, befuddle, and mess with “Beatles experts”
> The Beatles have stated that the song has no meaning
Less than halfway through the Beatles career John Lennon became disillusioned with fame. He used to insult and curse at the audience instead of singing the actual lyrics because he resented how they only came to shows to look/scream/swoon at the Beatles rather than listen to them. Fans screamed so loud nobody could hear what he was saying anyway.
He wrote quite a few nonsensical songs for that reason. He also wrote songs whose lyrics were meant to fuck with people who took the Beatles too seriously. Remember he’s the guy who complained to the press that young people care more about the Beatles than they do about Jesus
It was his idea to quit touring and just become a studio recording band. It was also his idea to quit the Beatles several years before they officially broke up. He was miserable, but Paul used the death of their manager to guilt the group into staying together.
This was the point where John would bring his annoying chink girlfriend into the studio and let her ruin everything. He didn’t care about the band or the fans anymore.
Speaking of their manager.. he was a gay kike named Brian Epstein who John routinely brought to tears by insulting him during studio recordings. My favorite example is him singing “Baby, you’re a rich man too” as “Baby, you’re a rich fag jew”
That sucks. I’m right though. Unless all the biographies about him are lying. Are you sure you know anything about this band at all and aren’t just picturing their early years and projecting assumptions onto it?

If this is a defense of the Beatles I'm missing it?
