How is John Lennon a Jesus figure?
His music with the Beatles revolutionized pop culture and entertainment in a way that society had never seen at that point.
What US city did The Beatles play their final concert?
It wasn't a baseball field that The Beatles had their last concert, it was on top of the Apple Corps building in 1969. But their penultimate performance was at a baseball park, Shea Stadium, Where John Lennon was misquoted saying that The Beatles were bigger than Jesus
Did Bill Shankly ever meet The Beatles?
He apparently met John Lennon and George Harrison 'a few times', but not the Beatles as a band. It has been alleged that the members never expressed an interest in one team or another for marketing reasons. As kids, it appears that Paul McCartney and Lennon were both reds while Harrison was a Blue, but early Lennon drawings seem to shown a worrying Arsenal tendency. Harrison was once quoted as saying "there are three teams in Liverpool and I support the other one". Ringo never expressed any interest in football, being more into the sport of chasing the ladies.
In which Beatles single did John Lennon utter a curse word?
John sang "Christ" in The Ballad of John and Yoko, which seemed to offend Americans. Paul can be heard saying "f--in' hell" in Hey Jude. John said "f--king" twice in "Working Class Hero" but that was post-Beatles.
What were John Lennon's fears?
It depends on who you mean he was a threat to. John was truly no threat to anyone. However, the Nixon administration and the American government feared John's influence over Americans. John protested war and unfair incarcerations and he wasn't shy about speaking out. Nixon did his best to get John kicked out of the country but he couldn't. Only the government felt threatened by John. Everyone else loved him.

Why did people burn The Beatles cds?
People started burning Beatles albums because in a press conference/interview with The Beatles, John Lennon apparently said something offensive towards Christianity saying how the Beatles were more well known than Jesus Christ at the time, but people took it the wrong way thinking John was trying to say that they're more popular or more bigger than Jesus. Religion was a big priority back then and still is. John Lennon later apologized about his statement and told them that he wasn't trying to say that they were bigger or greater than Jesus and people finally forgave them. It was a really stupid thing people were burning their albums over back in the 60s. They misunderstood Lennon's statement on Christ.

Why did John Lennon sue the other Beatles and Allen Klein?
He didn't. Paul McCartney sued to dissolve the Beatles' business partnership, concerned that Allen Klein's management would damage them over time. (He wasn't happy about it, saying later "I felt like an arse, suing my best mates and being seen to sue my best mates.") At the time, the other Beatles were sold on Klein, and rejected McCartney's choice of manager, his new father-in-law Lee Eastman. Lennon, Harrison and Starr later soured on Klein, and the two sides sued each other, settling in 1977 with a payment to Klein of about £3.5 million. In the end, the other Beatles were thankful to McCartney, for "saving their legacy".
Why did john Lennon say he was more popular than god?
