Question:
Does any one know anything about the dentist? who introduced John and George to acid. In the
book THE LOVE YOU MAKE, Mr Brown couldn't or wouldn't mention the fellows name.(Pete Brown
passed it off as though it was unimportant) I wonder if this guy braggs about what he
did, or feels guilty, or even realizes that by his actions he changed the face of modern
culture forever.
Was it inevitable that the beatles would have experimented with acid anyway???
what if they hadn't????
If it had been sooner or later,- better sooner than later?????
I think that this guy is responsible for a great moment in fabistory and we dont even know who
he is, or do we???????
Answer:
I totally agree with you. This guy is really important. The question
is not "if he hadn't"...because he did. I have always thought that the
music of the Bealtes would have been totally different had they not
experimented with mind-expanding substances.
So if anyone knows who this person is, or knows his story, please let it
be known..
Trivia is always fun, and so is fiction, but it's important to be
able to distinguish between the two.
This is what we call fiction. There are some elements of truth in
there, but the less knowledgable reader would have a tough time
sorting them out.
Actually, I happen to have this piece of trivia. The Beatles were
friends with a dentist, whom they later named a song after. He was into
acid, but the Fabs were uneasy about trying it, especially Paul. But one
day when the Four went to their friend's house for tea, the dentist put
acid in each of their cups! They were hooked from then on. The dentist's
name was "Dr. Robert" as in "take a drink from your special cup, Dr.
Robert"
But he was. I was there too. I recall the intricate design on the
Wedgewood coffee cups that held the fatal sugarcubes....
In any case, Mr. Dumes is correct, as usual. You've made a mistake (as had
the original poster...an innocent mistake of course) of confusing "Dr.
Roberts" (probably Robert Freymann, a physician in New York City who
dispensed hallucinogenics to the glitterati) and the unnamed British
dentist who slipped LSD-laced 'cubes into John and George's coffee
one night in spring 1965.
They are indeed different people.
A fact worth noting next time you're invited out for dinner at your
dentist's house....
Funny, You NET NAZIS think alike! Oh, is the great Bob Stahley going to
instruct me??? YOU THINK YOU have the only knowledge about the Beatles!
Well, Boob, I have most of the written material about the Beatles, too and
I happen to have the ability to read, understand and think, something you
apperantly don't do with you head stuck up your anus. I was fortunate to
have been old enough and remember when the Beatles first appeared on these
shores, purchase their records (or receive them as gifts), and later, be
fortunate enough to be able to travel and tour the Abbey Road Studios in
1983. I do not pretend to be all-knowing like YOU do, Boob Stooley; the
only people with the true facts would be the Beatles(including their
producer, etc.) themselves. Mr Mark Lewisohn is the only fan I know of who
would come close to knowing the truth, since he was voted the top "Beatle
Brain" in England and has published books about the Beatles. I do have a
Bachelor of Arts, and 17 credit-hours towards a Master's in case you were
snickering about your previous post. You seem to think you are the Beatles
authority here, well perhaps YOU should learn how to spell the city you
live in! In a interview, John said that the LSD, not"Lucy" which is
refering to a drawing done by Julian Lennon, was laid on him, Cynthia,
George H., and Patti during a dinner at the dentist's house.
The killfile will take care of your future flames! It's your internet
newsgroup, isn't it mister??
