The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:

[edit] 4 chords relativity?

Is the 4 chord bit of trivia relavent? If it is, another sentence or two is needed to justify why it is included. Thousands of pop songs use a limited number of chords.

I am assuming that it is mentioned because of the length of the song? What I dont understand is why the whole "Bob Dylan introducing The Beatles to marijuana" is included, when the connection between this song and the drug has never been confirmed, and although it is very likely, must we now include these lines on ever Beatles song that may or may not have a drug reference?

[edit] Syd Barrett

I have recently obtained a very poor quality bootleg that has Syd Barrett singing with John Lennon on this song. This verifies, at least in my mind, the rumours about Syd's influence on this track. I am hesitant to add anything about it to the article both because of the No Original Research policy (I think someone could construe it as such if they so choose) and because I am not 100% sure about it. Again, it is low quality and obviously from acetates, so there is really no way to be sure. I'm pretty sure I recognize Syd's laugh at the end of the first verse, and the song really does sound like something he would have had something to do with. If anyone has this bootleg and can corroborate this, please let me know.
