The image on the left is a pictorial representation of The Beatles' classic: Lucy in the Sky, with Diamonds.

TRIVIA TIME
Although many people believe that the inspiration for Lucy in the Sky, with Diamonds comes from the main initials of the song title (LSD), songwriter John Lennon always said that the inspiration was a drawing his (then young) son Sean Lennon created and gave him. Either way, it is a great song and highly representative of the mid-to-late 1960s.
