WE MEANT MORE TO KIDS THAN JESUS DID

"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
(Maureen Cleave i intervju med John Lennon för The Evening Standard, 4 mars 1966)
