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.'
