Doctor Robert was John Lennon's dentist who could get LSD. John and George Harrison both tripped for the first time when Dr. Robert gave them a "newly discovered" drug.
@xxLGagaxx ......Dr. ROBERT FREYMANN was a NYC "speed doctor" for celebrities who wrote many a prescription. All you had to be was "feeling down" and he'd "pick you up" from his magic cup. Talk about the early versions of energy drinks. Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson were typical clients. Maybe a Dianne Cannon type.
Ok, I found out who Dr. Robert is...in all actuality. Dr. Robert WAS George's dentist (who also got his hands on LSD)!. George & Patty brought Lennon & Cynthia and some friends over to the Roberts'. Robert's wife spiked everyone's tea w/LSD. And, John loved it. Cynthia freaked.
That's from Lennon's bio. So, it's from a source that was there, when the event occurred. But, yes John did say Robert was him, as well...he said A LOT of things! love him! :)
an often neglected song from the beatles that is actually a great song in both story and musical presentation. john did a wonderful job with lyrics here. and the music has simularities to crosby, stills, nash, and young's later offerings, but they didn't exsist yet! once agian beatle innovation ahead of the curve!
I wonder if Doctor Robert was perhaps based on the infamous "Doctor Feelgood" who treated so many celebs in the 60s including JFK...still remember reading how Bobby got the stuff from a spare filled syringe, analyzed and went to his brother concerned about it--and Jack's reply was classic:"I dont care if it's horse piss, it works"
I agree, I am sure a lot of revenue came from these crazed, addicted, doctors who catered to addicts. Whatta f'd up circle of events. I am glad the Beatles, got out of that. John and George, what Icons, especially w/the giving up of drugs. Not only as members of an unforgettable band of geniuses, but an inspiration to everyone, in every part of the world. PPl like Dr.Roberts, will only be remembered for their kitsch. :)
I do stand corrected on a few things...John spent most of his life on one drug or another. Kicked heroin w/methadone, but stayed on that for a while. Tried to do it "Cold Turkey", but when Methadone's available..well.
John was clean at least the last yr. of his life. He actually became a health nut. Yoko relapsed bk on heroin...trying not to let John know. A lot of songs from D.Fantasy seem like he feels he's losing her...but, she was distant, b/c of her addiction and secrecy.
I thought this song was on "Yesterday and Today", not "Revolver". At any rate it's a great tune.
FlamingoKicker, the USA needs a National Health program like they have in the UK, so you can shove your right-wing lies about National Health up your ass.
The Beatles were the strongest voice of a generation of many strong, talented voices. Nature set them apart for a reason. It is so we do not just think they were just another great band, so we look closer and listen a little better. When we do, we will discover that they were prophets. Go to truthcontest (dot) com and open The Present, then read the section about The Beatles.
My name is Robert and, if I'm not mistaken, this is the only Beatles song with a guy's name. So its quite an honor to be named after a song by my favorite band
so i guess this song is about Timothy Leary and his acid? Timothy Leary inspired the 60's without him people wouldn't be exploring the other side of their minds.
Dr. Roberts was a speed doctor in NYC. Had famous and infamous clients, definitely not about a dentist!! He was notorious for the Warhol crowd coming to his office, sometimes 6x a day. The shots were, vitamins, coke, or amphetamine. If you were rich or famous, you'd get the special shot...w/the coke and amphetamine w/some LSD mixed in...GREAT doctor, Right??? ha!
@MsReffinej ...theres a doctor roberts in london too...he is the reason why lots and lots of famous people have property in a certain area of london...
@fruitypeebils these guys are the beatles and u might think there gay but we dont and it looks like only 0 ppl agree with u and 158 agree with me that the beatles are the best band ever! (not the black eyed peas!)
John said in the Playboy intereview (1980) that this song was about himself.
So take your pick what the song is "about". Or who it is about.
I'm surprised he liked the National Health Care though. Don't think George used the "free" service when he had his cancer. He used his millions to fight the disease.
@FlamingoKicker He says nothing about the National Health Care. He just means the health of the nations populace when he says National Health, he doesnt mean the NHS
@Samarmy11 basically it was bob Dylan slipped lsd in2 thier tea,,so low and behold we get LSD and revolver dentist that had slpped that in2 the drink should have gotten his brain discected like tl,peace if u get what i mean when he checks out,but get t right if you wanna talk bout it,DAVE
@Samarmy11 basically it was bob Dylan slipped LSD in2 their tea,,so low and behold we get LSD and revolver dentist that had slipped that in2 the drink should have gotten his brain dissected like tl,peace if u get what i mean when he checks out,but get t right if you wanna talk bout it,DAVE
It could have been both John's description of himself carrying amphetamines, as well as the dentist who slipped "L" into their drinks, substituting the name Robert, for the dentist's real name. Many rock musicians use clever ploys, ruses, and similar, in their lyrics, so people have to think about the meaning, and I would say that John Lennon was one of the ones who did this the most!
jeez i love this song i remember when i first heard this song and i was like i must learn the guitar and by 10 mins bam! anyway brilliant love te beatles R.IP John Lennon and George Harrison
haha its so funny because this song was about a doctor who use to give out lsd to his patients. The beatles were so good at using words. You really have to listen carefully to their songs especially the later albums.
I love this song. I read a comment not long ago that someone felt this song was "filler" for their album, and I couldn't disagree more. So many opinions, and they're all subjective, so.. Botton-line is that if it sounds good to you then it IS good, but I hate when people give an opinion and make it sound like the gospel truth. I love all of The Beatles music from the early to the later years and the great thiing is that there is a song for every mood. Long live The Beatles & RIP John & George.
@Styptic123 Thing is with Beatle songs is that they can have many different meanings but it does sound like drugs. Especially the 'well well well' psychedelic bit
There was no Dr. Charles Roberts. Dr. Robert Freymann of NY was the inspiration for this song, but John was quoted saying as he wrote the song, he realized he was writing about himself in the early days of Hamburg, as he was the one who always carried the uppers around for the band.
@MAIJOR......His actual name was Dr. Charles Roberts (yes, with an "s" at the end of his name)...He was a New York doctor (one of many) who would give "star" patients various thngs like vitamins & LSD. But mainly his specialty was speed.
@bernabeatles2 no it wasnt... Dr. Robert was just a name john made up for himself since he carried all the pills and drugs while they were on tour. The dentists name that gave them the LSD was John Riley
@bernabeatles2 its also been said that Dr. Robert was William Campbell's plastic surgeon to make him look like Paul after Paul died, but i dont belive that Paul died.
@bernabeatles2 lies. In fact, Dr. Robert was the guy that used to provide drugs to the beatle boys,.. He is seen represented by Bono Vox on the movie Across the Universe
@bernabeatles2 Actually mate, that's false. John claimed himself that he was Doctor Robert. Saying he's the one that carried the pill and pot for the band. :P
Dr. Robert was John and George's dentist. And they went for dinner with him and he slipped acid into their drinks. He advised John and George not to go outside but they were too high to care. So that was their fist experience of drugs. If you listen to the lyrics it's either about their dentist, a drug dealer or about drugs.
@salvadormarley No, the greatest, coolest, most important moment in rock and music history was the release of Thriller, by the King, Michael Jackson!!!!! All else is poseur, wannabe shit!!!!
Love this song; it makes me think of my own Doctor, whose first name is Robert and he keeps me supplied with painkillers and tranquilizers. Cool coincidence!
I think John looked his best in the Revolver era!

So that was their fist experience of drugs. If you listen to the lyrics it's either about their dentist, a drug dealer or about drugs.

@mward1995 - Correct except it was first experience of acid not drugs in general. He slipped acid into the drinks of john,george,patti and cynthia.

Revolver is the best, in fact (St.Peppers a little too overrated)
I love that cool, moderate-slow beat!

Revolver was the greatest, coolest moment in rock history. Followed closely by Abbey road.
AH, WHAT THE HELL - I LOVE ALL THEIR STUFF.

Love this song; it makes me think of my own Doctor, whose first name is Robert and he keeps me supplied with painkillers and tranquilizers. Cool coincidence!
