Happiness Is A Warm Gun

A Magazine with a Sad Irony

The magazine that was the inspiration for one of John’s songs on the White Album aka “The Beatles.”

George Martin had this magazine at the studio and John happened to rummage through it and found the “Happiness is a Warm Gun” article written by Warren W. Herlihy (above) and the rest, as they say, is history…….

The sad and ironic part of this particular story is obviously the way John’s life ended.

American Rifleman Magazine May 1968 issue. Copies of this magazine can often be found online on such services as Ebay.
