Many would never know her but if you heard the song Lucy in the Sky with diamonds, it is her. Lucy O’Donnell isn’t particularly famous for most people, but she is an incredibly famous muse. Lucy Vodden was a childhood classmate of one Julian Lennon – and yes, THAT Julian Lennon - “Jude” himself. He had affection for her as a young boy, and drew a portrait of her, describing it to his father – John Lennon – as “Lucy in the sky with diamonds.” Those of you insisting that it had something to do with lysergic acid diethylamide can pack sand. (However, John later admitted he WAS on LSD when he sang it!) There you go – the song was about Lucy Vodden, and goofballs can put any payday loans towards illicit substances aside – and they shouldn’t be doing those things to begin with.
