Even things we say today had a different meaning back in the 60's.
If someone said "He's Cool" or "Is he Cool" the reference was to whether he or she "got high". Were they "safe" to be around.
By the same token, "He's Heavy" or "Is he Heavy" was an opposite reference and often was used to identify Narks. A Nark was someone who gave information to Law Enforcement agencies about someone who used or sold drugs including weed.
That kind of puts into perspective the Beatles tune "He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother."
There was an entire sub-culture's vernacular employed back then. As, I am sure, there is today.

Okay, so I was "Cool". It impacted my memory <LOL>
I would have sworn that was the Beatles, but you are absolutely correct. Brain Fart! CRS (Can't Remember $hit)

Hehehe I like that CRS i'll have to remember it (if my memory isn't too impacted!)

I'm almost sure those TG that the Beatles had that line in one of the songs on either Abby Road or on the White Album. But I am JUST ALMOST sure!
