Facts about Songs

I wanted to know if anyone had an interesting fact or story behind any Beatle or Lennon Song.

Ill do the first one.

The Beatle song by Lennon, "Sexy Sadie" was really written about the Maharishi, when he made an advance at a women attending the ashram in India. He changed the name to Sexy Sadie instead, mainly because of George.

Thanks for that interesting fact on Sexy Sadie lovinlennon! I had no idea.

I have a few some i don't know if there entirely true so if you've heard otherwise please feel free to correct me!

Okay so the song
"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" - Manager Brian Epstein apparently had feelings for John, so john wrote this song in response.

One more....
"Martha My Dear"-Was written about/for Paul's Sheepdog Martha.
Martha was Paul's sheepdog, tho you may be excused for thinking it was "Hey Bulldog", with the lyrics, "sheepdog, standing in the rain"
