John Lennon

In late 1965, The Beatles stayed in Los Angeles' Benedict Canyon during their tour of the West Coast. One night, actor Peter Fonda showed up with Roger McGuinn ...

“John was passing at the time and heard me saying, ‘I know what it’s like to be dead.’ He looked at me and said, ‘You’re making me feel like I’ve never been born. I don’t want to know what it’s like to be dead!” He changed it to: “I said, ‘Who put all those things in your head?'” According to Beatles Bible, Fonda said, “I told him there was nothing to be afraid of and that all he needed to do was relax. Many strange things inspired John Lennon to write songs, and “She Said She Said” was no different. “She Said She Said” is a perfect example.
