What the Beatles said about “Sexy Sadie”
JOHN 1980: "That was inspired by Maharishi. I wrote it when we had our bags packed and we’re leaving. It was the last piece I wrote before I left India. I just called him, ‘Sexy Sadie,’ instead of (sings) ‘Maharishi what have you done, you made a fool…’ I was just using the situation to write a song, rather calculatingly but also to express what I felt. I was leaving the Maharishi with a bad taste. You know, it seems that my partings are always not as nice as I’d like them to be."
