I really really like the Who, but (I dare say) I *almost* can't stand the Beatles anymore. For some reason they bring to mind inages of anti-Americanism.
A lot of people got down on the Beatles when John Lennon said that "The Beatles are more popular than Jesus Christ".
That created a big scandle and a lot of people didn't want anything to do with the Beatles anymore.
John said in a news interview a few days after all the commotion started, "I never said we were better than Jesus Christ, just more popular".
John couldn't understand what all the fuss was about.
I remember my old grandmother being very upset at the Beatles.
Well, John was a commie.
However, it is rumored that by the year he died he had actually said that Ronald Reagan was his pick for President because Carter made America look weak.
