Beware of the Lyrics

Someone once wrote: "I know a very wise man who believes that, if a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation."
A musician, Frank Zappa, the leader of the rock group called Mothers of Invention, added this incredible statement: "The loud sounds and bright lights of today are tremendous indoctrination tools. Is it possible to modify the human chemical structure with the right combination of frequencies? If the right kind of beat makes you tap your foot, what kind of beat makes you curl your fist and strike?"

The thought that music was created for the express purpose of controlling young people is an alien idea to the parents of those who listen to the music, so the message in the music had to be concealed in a special language so that only the young people would understand it. It takes very gifted musicians and song writers to write the music in such a way that the parents interpret it one way and the young people in another, but this has been the case in the modern music of today.

This concealed message was accomplished by many groups, but one of the most successful was a rock 'n roll group known as the Beatles. Their particular message was intended to teach young people the merits of drug use through such songs as:

"Yellow Submarine"  =  A "submarine" is a "downer" drug, one that slows the user down.
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"  =  The first initials of the main words in the  title, "L," "S" and "D" represent the drug LSD.
"Strawberry Fields"   =  Opium poppies are often planted in strawberry fields to avoid detection.
"Norwegian Wood"   =   A Britisher's term for marijuana .
