The Beatless

The Beatless

Apparently the Beatles' iconic Sergeant Pepper album will become part of the GCSE music syllabus for Britain's biggest exam board, AQA.
Ìý
Students could be asked to study three songs from the album - including Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, which some say is about LSD and drug taking.
Ìý
The Times paper suggests that to gain 100% in the exam, candidates should explain the lyrics to Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds using only John Lennon's official explanation, that it was inspired by a picture drawn by his five-year-old son.
Ìý
We caught up with Jules Benjamin who played John Lennon in the Worcester tribute band The Beatless.
