Great song, but I believe the byrds were flying on acid more than

They have denied that allegation freguently. They claim that they
wrote the song about flying in their Lear jet.

The problem was, the more they denied it, the more people winked and
said "sure, sure, we understand". Reminds me of the "Puff the magic
dragon" song by Peter Paul and Mary. People used to say that it was
really about smoking weed. Vehemently denied by PP&M.
