Vegetables (Mono)

Paul McCartney was in the studio when Brian Wilson was mixing this song - you can hear him in the background munching on celery.

Wilson wrote this when he was struggling with the hallucinogenic drug LSD, which can cause a childlike regression over time.

In 1847 the Bible Christian organization took the lead in establishing the first national vegetarian Society which was formed at Ramsgate, England. At its inaugural meeting the word "vegetarian" was coined. The word should not be confused with the word "vegetable," it was derived from the Latin "vegetus," meaning whole, vigorous, active. Around the same time in America the teenage Louisa Alcott's father was exchanging vegetarian recipes with his friends the essayists Ralph Emerson and Henry Thoreau.
