| 22 | Jesus Apology Interview | John's public apology for "More popular than Jesus" quote Originally printed in The London Evening Standard on 4th March 1966, it was taken from an interview with John by his friend Maureen Cleave. John's actual quote: "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about 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 alright but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me." His words upset no one in Great Britain but when they were reprinted in the US, Christian fundamentalists reacted with hate and outrage. |

| 23 | BBC Interview | 30/03/64 BBC Radio - "From Us To You" Alan Freeman mention's John's book as he is interviewing him. Other Beatles can be heard. (It would be a perfect introduction for "You Can't Do That", but is not used at that point.) |
