Epstein, the site I saw said his Auntie Lil had asked him to please write about something other than love, and this is what he came up with.
Didwot, I only mentioned the rhyme because if he had needed to rhyme with "here" or "clear" I would assume he just made up the last name to fit. But since it needn't rhyme, I thought maybe he had picked a real author.
I remember Jimmy Saville talking about this song on his radio one show years and years ago.
He said he was in the Beatles' dressing room before a concert and Paul had "reminded" John that it was his turn to write the next song. John changed the subject so Paul pressed him by asking what it was going to be about. At that, John looked around annoyed, and saw George who was reading a book.
"That." he said. "I'm going to write it about that book."
I have no idea if this is true but that was Jimmy's story...
