in the Beatles Anthology, Ringo (i think) and John said someone approached them for an interview. a student i think, because their professor wanted them to make a paper on the meaning of the songs of The Beatles.
they were shocked in the different interpretations and many of them were so negative. this was also the time when they were getting some heat for admitting they were using drugs.
to spite them, John wrote I am the Walrus. He put together words and sentences that didn't mean a thing and something like "Let them figure this one out" (i paraphrased).
