>>12.  On Lennon's song "Glass Onion", he says, "And here's another clue for you
>>all/The Walrus was Paul." In some societies, the walrus was an image of death,

I have a copy of an interview that John Lennon did with WNEW-FM in NY in 1974.
This was just as the album with #9 Dream was coming out.  He did about a 
three hour interview and played disc-jockey for awhile.  It was a great time.
He was in top form with his wit.  Anyway, the subject came up about Glass
Onion and I am the Walrus.  John said he wrote I am the Walrus based very
loosely about Lewis Carrol's books, because he liked the Walrus.  Then later
he found out the Walrus was a bad guy and he decided to change it by telling
everyone that Paul was the Walrus.  By the way, Glass Onion was written
as a tribute to Paul by John for his help in trying to keep the group together
after Brian Epstein has died.

Well... that's what he said.
