Little-known fact about the Beatles song “Come Together”:

The song’s history began with Lennon writing a song for Timothy Leary’s failed gubernatorial campaign in California against Ronald Reagan, which promptly ended when Leary was sent to prison for possession of marijuana.

Fancy that.

And imagine: a world without Saint Reagan, and a pot-smoker in office.

Fux me.
