That makes sense. Actually, the more I think about it, the more that story seems bogus, Mr. Baby Lee.

I haven't looked it up, but as I ponder this nutty myth, I think Pet Sounds was probably released prior to Sgt. Pepper's. Maybe it was Roger McGuinn that drove him over the edge with those spooky little glasses.

EDIT: However, there is anecdotal evidence that 'Pet Sounds' in turn inspired the subsequent development of 'St. Pepper.' So maybe that's where you got the notion.

Missed this part, Mr. Baby Lee. I think you're right. As for the notion, I got it from a drunken musician, so there you go. I always liked the story, though.
