Are you sure your parents weren’t just pretending to be flabbergasted? I was a kid in the seventies and it was pretty common knowledge that Lucy was a drug joke despite Lennon’s insistence that it was just based on a drawing his kid did.
- Fnoord 6y agoAbout the average or random parent, no. Mine? Yes, 100% sure. My parents aren't native English speakers though. Plus, they never experimented much with that type of drugs (it was tobacco, alcohol, and a few joints during teenage years). I've been a tad more naughty, and that was a period in my life. It was after that period that I brought it up to my parents. Found yet another reference (also brought up in the PDF), in Brave New World: "Huxley took the name for the drug used by the state to control the population after the Vedic ritual drink Soma, inspired by his interest in Indian mysticism." [1] Folklore has an abundance of drug references. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_(drink) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_(drink)
