#64 - I'm So Tired with Giggens & Jenny Jamball

Well, guys, y'all wanna talk some Beatles? We are here for, for that purpose.

Yeah.

Excellent.

Uh, well, friends, coming in this week at number 64 is I'm So Tired.

I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink.

No, no, no. I'm so tired.

I don't know what to do.

I'm so tired.

My mind is set on you.

I wonder should I call you? But I know what you would do.

You'd say I'm putting you on.

But it's no joke.

It's doing me harm.

You know I can't sleep.

I can't stop my brain.

You know it's three weeks.

I'm going insane.

You know I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind.

I'm so tired.

I'm feeling so upset.

Oh, oh

In February of '68 when they followed the Maharishi to India for a several-month meditation retreat, the Beatles all arrived in Rishikesh in different head spaces.

John had been in a less than pleasant space for a while, reeling from the death of Brian Epstein a few months prior, and consuming vast quantities of LSD and other drugs.

He'd begun to build up what we consider at this point to be an emotional affair with Yoko Ono, who he'd met in late '66, but had stayed in increasing contact with her over n- over 1967.

Uh, he- now he's grown so infatuated with her, in fact, that when the group is planning their trip to India with their wives in tow, he considers how he might also maybe bring Yoko along with his then wife, Cynthia.
