I remember the documentary IMAGINE: JOHN LENNON, where this kid was camped out in the woods behind Lennon's mansion in England, just to be near him. After he was dragged out by bodyguards, he asked Lennon if he had him in mind when writing songs, because the kid felt they were about him. I cannot remember the exact words Lennon replied with, but it was something like, "They're not about anything in particular, or anyone else, either. Sometimes, I'm just taking a shit and an idea just pops in my head."
