The Beatles song "Rocky Racoon" mentions the subject (Rocky Racoon) going into a hotel room and finding "Gideon's Bible".

Rocky Racoon goes to the hotel to shoot the man who had stolen his girlfriend's heart. He loses a shootout, and heads back to his room.

>Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room >Only to find Gideon's Bible >Gideon checked out, and he left it, no doubt >To help with good Rocky's revival

The song was written in 1968 when The Beatles were in India studying transcendental meditation. Makes me wonder whether Paul McCartney was gifted a Gideon Bible in Rishikesh.


Interesting story. I had read about the Beatles studying meditation in India.
