...was John the Walrus? Was it really Paul as the song claims? Who knows...who really cares... The more important question is:

Who is the eggman?

the clue was that John was refering to all the rumors that Paul was dead and  after being asked about it a thousand times, he wasn't going to give a straight answer  - as I recall that was on The White Album. And as we all know 'Bungalo Bill' will get us through times of no 'Maxwell Silverhammer' better than 'Maxwell Silverhammer' will get us through times of no 'Bungalo Bill'.

The song your caption refers to  goes 'I am the Eggman I am the  Walrus I am he as you are she and we are all together'  or something like that and was as I recall on the Sargent Pepper Album and sung by John Lennon.  The eggman could refer to the statement made by Lennon that the bee-atles were more popular than Jesus Christ. That one statement did more damage to the group's popularity than Mick Jaggar   ...  all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put the eggman back together again.  The walrus could have refered to another of Carrolls poem's  'The Walrus and the Carpenter' . 
dunno what was the question again?  

err  o.k. then how about Eggs Ackley? 

 

couldn't get the pict to fully load.  All I saw was the top part of what apeared to be a top hat. I'll try again in a few minutes.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.

I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

 

If John was singing it then I guess everybody was John, or John was everybody depending on how you look at it. It all depends on how much acid he took before he wrote it.

If you look at the cover of the Magical Mystery Tour they all have animal masks on. The Walrus was Paul. Ringo is wearing the chicken so I guess he could be the eggman.

"...as I recall on the Sargent Pepper Album and sung by John Lennon.  The eggman could refer to the statement made by Lennon that the bee-atles were more popular than Jesus Christ..."

Actually the White Album song was called "Glass Onion". 

The song "I Am the Walrus" with the Walrus and Eggman references is on the Magical Mystery Tour album (for our British friends, it was an EP before a bunch of singles and B-sides were added to fill it out to album size in the US).

The Walrus and Eggman references are both actually Lewis Carroll references to the Alice books. The Eggman is Humpty Dumpty .

Majical Mystery Tour Sargent Pepper yeah I always get those two confused ! the one I can never remember is the one with the meat . that Capitol rapidly covered over with the beatles posing with footlockers


tjohn ( ) posted Sat, 22 July 2006 at 7:52 AM

That would be the American album "Yesterday & Today" made of singles, B-sides and songs Capitol records stripped off of the original versions of "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver".

Yes I'm aware I know too much about this s#!t. 😄

yep i thought of it after I posted.
I think it was around the time of Sgt.Pepper that Grateful Dead, Big Brother,  Jefferson Airplane and Big Brother and the Holding Company started to grab my attention and over the years other questions like 'which one's Pink?' and an 'african swallow or a european swallow?'  seemed more important than who the Walrus was or what that meant; and I really wanted to go ask Alice something . . . .but before I could remember what it was I wanted to ask her  well by that time John and Yoko were asking me to Imagine something, but with all the confusion .. . well the next thing I knew My friend Jude was introducing me to this guy who she said wrote 59th bridge street song, and I was hearing Country Joe McDonald at the Catalyst once a month  ... Well sometime after that a gitl friend freaked out at an Johnny Winter Concert after about ten minutes and while taking her home all I coulf think of was where did the sixties go and who was this Alice B. Tokalas everyone kept talking about. back then - and was she the Alice I was supposed to ask the all important question which I'd forgotten so long ago.
Ah yes nostalgia I never liked the sound of that word -now I think I know why.

Now Iam more confused than ever, I will however confer with Nanook, but Nanook usually sends me away with a bad tasting snow, to someone called the Muffin man. He's never home, I thinks its due the the Vandalism, "knockin his jockeys off the lawn and down the hill. In the end I get a little info from a Dina-Moe Hum, but that costs me a 40 dollar bill and I have to clean up with some black napkins I got from the guy Who winded up workin at the gas station, which is always yellin at the dwarf with the bucket and a mop. I geuss ST Alphonzos breakfast nook will have all the answers....Wait!! Noo!!! Now I remember, The secret is in the Oil of Aphrodite and the Dust of the Grand Whazoo....Hey, ya might not believe this little fella, but It'll cure your asthma too....

Geez, I think that's only just part of it.....I'm goin to Montana soon....Just me and the Pigmy pony.

When the mind is calm all answers will come - confusion only indicates a conflict between mind,  body and spirit . the Idea of chanting is to help reconnect mind body and spirit by calming the mind where most conflicts actually occur. The idea that the Eggman and Walrus were references to Carroll's poems comes frommy inner miind not anything I've heard - some say that we are all connected and all we have to do to understand just about anything is to is plug in to the great body of knowledge created by this connection.  Easier said than done.

The sound of one hand clapping
Just because you can't hear it doesn't mean it doesn't make a sound. The real question is do you think of things like that in terms of yourself or in terms of their place in the world?

be the Walrus - be the Eggman (and if you happen to see Alice point her my way.)
