Whistle You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Uh... huh? Huh?

More popular than Jesus, eh?  Right.  Angel

Nat, at the time John Lennon made the reference as a joke, and alot of people in the USA, started burning Beatles records etc, it was unbelievable.
In my first year of high school, for music, my teacher was a Beatle's nut, and for the whole year, we learnt all of the Beatles music, and their history.  This is how I became a Beatles fan. Grin Grin Grin Grin

On 11 August 1966, the Beatles held a press conference in Chicago, in order to address the growing furor.

Lennon: I suppose if I had said television was more popular than Jesus, I would have got away with it, but I just happened to be talking to a journalist friend, and I used the words "Beatles" as a remote thing, not as what I think — as Beatles, as those other Beatles, like other people see us. I just said "they" are having more influence on kids and things than anything else, including Jesus. But I said it in that way, which is the wrong way.

Reporter: Some teenagers have repeated your statements — "I like the Beatles more than Jesus Christ." What do you think about that?

Lennon: Well, originally I pointed out that fact in reference to England. That we meant more to kids than Jesus did, or religion at that time. I wasn't knocking it or putting it down. I was just saying it as a fact, and it's true more for England than here. I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing, or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this.

Reporter: But are you prepared to apologise?

Lennon: I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologise if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do, but if you want me to apologise, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.

As a huge fan of the Beatles and of John Lennon in general, please allow me to agree with Aske on this particular point. No No (oh no he di'n't)
