The Beatles - More Popular Than Jesus
I was just a little kid so I don't remember this. Do you think the south would freak out like this today if something like this was said?

Of course, it would have to take a cultural phenomenon that actually could be a contender, and the only possible thing I can think of is Harry Potter.

I remember thinking at the time "Oh, that's a bit indiscreet, but true''


Today I think Lennon was probably acutely aware of what he was doing; all that wonderful free publicity.

John Lennon = Legend.

What he said was actually very harmful to the Beatles though, as it meant that because of religious opposition in America they pretty much had to stop touring there! Sad

Of course, by that point, they were tired of touring, period.

The Beatles is bigger than Jesus, and Michael Jackson is bigger than The Beatles. What does that make Jesus?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wadlow Is bigger than all of the Beatles, Michael Jackson, and in fact just about (if not) everyone.

Jesus really is quite small... if you think about it. Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
