DVD Warns Against Drinking Oprah’s ‘Kool-Aid’
June 3rd, 2008 · 7 Comments
John Lennon stirred much controversy when, during an interview July 29, 1966, he stated that the Beatles were “more popular than Jesus.” Beatles concerts were canceled, and Americans staged public burnings of Beatles’ records and memorabilia.
