I’ve been thinking about this lately. Maybe because of the anniversary of Jerry’s passing. Maybe because the question pops up in certain circles from time to time and I’m curious what you think.

August 4, 1966: John Lennon is outed as having said that The Beatles are more popular than Jesus. Although, other dates have […]
