The Beatles (band)/Trivia


 * In 1966 John Lennon gave an ill-thought-out comment that The Beatles were "more popular than Jesus now." He promptly apologized for it, but it had already been taken out of context by the press. John wasn't saying that the Beatles were more important than Jesus; but if you were the kind of "thick-headed disciple" who would burn Beatles albums over this, then the context -- his thoughts on the state of Christianity -- would not be much comfort. Still, in 2008, the Vatican admitted that he had a point.
