    		IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
    Between the crosses row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    "Strawberry Fields" (where opium is grown to avoid detection) -- Opium comes from poppies.

    		Wow, that is certainly ONE connection, zebeck......perhaps a review of the Beatles' single in its entirety might prove fruitful as well?

    Good answer, by the way.
