Oh how the world went topsy- turvy today in 1966
March 4, John Lennon’s statement that The Beatles were ‘more popular than Jesus Christ’ was published in The London Evening Standard.
“Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. We’re more popular then Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first, rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity. Jesus was alright, but his disciples were thick and ordinary.”
Wooo Wee the Christians went bananas, record burnings “Beatles Go Home” posters and general cock and loaded shotguns on the back of a Ford for the Liverpool lads.
Funny huh, how times have changed.
They have right? I mean if Lady Gaga got up and said she were more popular than the Pope… yeah that’d be fine.
