What was the true inspiration for the song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?"

Although rumors of drug references were prevalent, it was John's 4-year-old son, Julian's, picture of his schoolmate that inspired the song. John thought it looked like Lucy was in a sky filled with diamonds. The phrase soon took the form of song lyrics and became another hit for the singing group.
