Yoko in the sky with diamonds?

I found an interesting quote by John Lennon:

Quote:

The images were from Alice In Wonderland. It was Alice in the boat. She is buying an egg and it turns into Humpty-Dumpty. The woman serving in the shop turns into a sheep, and the next minute they are rowing in a rowing boat somewhere and I was visualising that. There was also the image of the female who would someday come save me - a 'girl with kaleidoscope eyes' who would come out of the sky. It turned out to be Yoko, though I hadn't met Yoko yet. So maybe it should be Yoko In The Sky With Diamonds.

It was purely unconscious that it came out to be LSD. Until somebody pointed it out, I never even thought of it. I mean, who would ever bother to look at initials of a title? It's not an acid song. The imagery was Alice in the boat. And also the image of this female who would come and save me - this secret love that was going to come one day. So it turned out to be Yoko, though, and I hadn't met Yoko then. But she was my imaginary girl that we all have.

Still a psychedelic song - but the whole album is. What an age to have lived in!

Check out the calico cat at the end of this video.

When our black cat had a litter of kittens back in the 1970's, four of them were calico cats and we kept the smallest one and gave away the rest. Early on I thought of her as my cat and we were close her entire lifetime. I often felt the black cat found her way to our house because she was meant to be with us.
