So the issue is that their psychedelic image doesn't match up with who they really were at the time? That's a not an easy call to make. I mean, they did do drugs and they did include drug references in their music/imply drug use with their psychedelic clothing, album art, and films. So at what point does this become an act for the Beatles to cash in on the hippie/drug using trend or whatever? I just don't see it.

Or am I missing the point?
