Twitter pal - Yoko Ono - must have been jumping up & down with joy over the past twenty-four hours when a court ruling in her favor was entered into the public record.
Judge Rya W. Zobel, at the U.S. District Court, found that Lennon's widow was not liable for damages arising from a copyright-infringement lawsuit which was lodged against her at a Boston courthouse by a Massachusetts-based company seeking exclusive title to rare footage of the former mop-head.
At issue, were ten hours of footage shot on location in jolly old England at John's tony estate in February (1970), in which the controversial member of the Fab Four (still a Beatle at that time) openly smoked marijuana and wickedly joked about slipping a hit of LSD into President Nixon's tea.
Although the court has ruled that Yoko is (and was) the rightful copyright holder, there is still one niggling detail that intrigues us (former "heads") in respect to the psychedelic end of the insidious plot to get tricky "Dick" stoned out of his gourde.
Was there a particular underground brand of LSD that John favored?
Purple microdot - or windowpane - perchance?
What say, Yoko?
