[edit] Uncle Albert

Who is Uncle Albert referring to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.200.130 (talk)

I was under the impression that it was a reference to Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Also I deleted "To many, it represents both McCartney at his best and his worst." because it smacks of bias. Reference? Vaginsh 06:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

It may refer to Albert Hoffman, the first synthesize of LSD who is sometimes called Uncle Albert. The song is considered to be psychedelic rock, which fits. I've found a few sources for this, but none that would clearly be considered notable. Anyone find a good source? Wakedream (talk) 18:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Just done a quick Google around. There is a statement on a blog saying this was an uncle of Paul's who used to read from the Bible when drunk, but we can't cite that as a reliable source. So, library on Monday it is, then... --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 19:09, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
