Historical Research

• The song was written by John Lennon . Lennon was
  inspired by Timothy Learys failed campaign for
  governor of California titled Lets get it
  together against Ronald Reagan, which was in
  possession of marijuana. During the time, The
  band members felt that Yoko One was having a
  distraction on John. If Paul left that the 3
  could continue on with the band , Paul was
  usually busy wth his other band so it was hard
  for the other band members to get a hold of him
  if they were going to try and make music or
  rehearse. George was in his own little world at
  that time , playing different styles of stringed
  instruments and doing the basic teachings of the
  Yogi.
