It’s the journey stupid!

So, “I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together because I am the Walrus”. No wait, it’s an Octopuses garden. Or is it an Octopus’s, or Octopus’? Somebody get the book! The Gregg Reference Manual says: GOOGLE IT!
Where have you gone Lewis Carrol? The way I figure it is that Carrol was doing mushrooms obviously - “that the mushroom is the key to navigating through her strange journey: “… one side will make you grow taller, the other side will make you grow shorter” ___ Alice in Wonderland, and John Lennon had some “really good shit” acid and was trippin’ when he wrote the words of the song, inspired by Carrolls ‘travels’.
I am the Walrus:
I don’t know how it all comes together (no pun) but it seems it was no accident Brian Epstein overdosed. He saw the future of meds! Seriously, how far would the Beatles have gone without George Martin?. The Walrus was his first song production with the Beatles, and he seemed to understand where John Lennon was coming from. No easy task.
Then again, if Brian Epstein wouldn’t have been there at the start, he wouldn’t have replaced Pete Best with Ringo Starr. And you would not have had Octopus’s Garden:
Hell, if Ringo wasn’t chosen to play drums with the Fab Four, he would probably be doing childrens parties now. No offense Ringo, as I am just pointing out this wonderful colorful - not knowing what’s around the next bend- life that we are journeying through. After awhile it becomes the mode of transportation we use to get through that makes a difference.
Maybe a Yellow Submarine?
Happy Trails.
