my fav beatles fun fact gotta be that Lady Madonna was based on this image of a Vietnamese woman back in the late 60s. i like to see this song as a counterpart of Blackbird (although Your Mother should know is also relevant). grew up learning about my culture and history, literature about women's sacrificing and devoting life for their husbands, their children, their mothers, their fathers, even their later grandchildren, i appreciate that Paul wrote the song for every Mothers in the world, especially the Western Highlands' Ê-đê Mother (an ethnic minority group in Vietnam) during the Vietnam-against-the-US-war, who was the direct inspiration behind the song.

there is a Vietnamese poem that has similar meaning to the song: "Khúc hát ru những em bé lớn trên lưng mẹ" (roughly translated as Lullaby for the babies on Mother's back) by poet Nguyễn Khoa Điềm (written in 1971), which is also about the beloved Mountain Madonna, the Vietnamese Heroic Mothers - Bà Mẹ Việt Nam Anh Hùng. the Mother couldnt live the baby alone in the house, so she wrapped her child in a cloth on her back, and then she went to harvest the corns while her baby slept on her back. i remember learning this poem in school, of how Mother brings her child to everywhere, from the slightest work to drudgery. Nguyễn Khoa Điềm wrote this poem in a form of a lullaby from the Mother to her baby. (remind me of golden slumber and goodnight)

its kinda sad to learn that Epstein was too frustrated about their public appearance (i mean i would be too those bitches didnt just tell the American they were bigger than Jesus) that he didnt let them write much song related to my country's occurring war, but Johnny and Yoko still stood up and let we hear their voice about this terrible crime. i love to know that my country's revolution is heard, is relevant even til now, still remain a valuable lesson and a demand for peace of every proletariats all over the world.
