Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest chapter, the latest edition, the latest adventure, the latest adventure, I think is the word I was looking for, from life on planet Porky, with, of course, myself, the Porkmeister and the rock chick writer extraordinaire, Ms. Leslie Ann Jones,

who's with me now, Leslie Ann, a fine good day to you. Thank you very much, Michael.

And the same to you. It looks like the sun is shining on us today.

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and so are you. Dear Prudence, except you're

not Prudence, obviously. Well, no, but great song. We know who that was written about, don't we?

It was the sister of, the wife of Frank Sinatra, who went Barmy in India. Is that right?

Sort of, yeah, a bit of a roundabout way of saying it.

But yes, Mia Farrie's sister.

Yes, who used to be married to Frank Sinatra.

And she retired into her hut at the Hashram, didn't she, if the, you know, the guru.

And she got depressed because she overdosed on drugs.

John Lennon apparently made that song up to sound like a nursery rhyme

to make her feel safe and back to childhood, I was told.

I think it was less to do with drugs, more to do with, you know,

they were on a mission when they were in the ashram, weren't they?

This is the Beatles, of course, to transcendental enlightenment.

And Prudence was kind of racing the others to become enlightened ahead of everybody else.

So she was spending much more time meditating than the others and stayed in her little heart, as you rightly say.

And they wrote this song to try and entice her out.

And did she come out in the end?

Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe she's still in there.
