When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
the Paris Olympic controversy reminds me when I was a teen and John Lennon commented that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus...and guess who got offended, calling for Beatle boycotts, burning Beatle records and all sorts of nonsense? the McCarthyites, the Birchers, the Christians, southern Baptists and of course the KKK who all make up today's MAGA cult!!
I was fascinated that these knuckleheads would make such a fuss over John's words about religion...this was around the time of the Yesterday and Today album, the Butcher cover...1966...Capital Records eventually changed the cover to the "Trunk" image but the Butcher album is a collector's item...free market capitalism!! Great album!
John was young, talented and I thought he was the coolest guy in the world while all these religious shits were falling all over themselves trying to discredit the Beatles...free speech is free speech and John made the most of it...ironic that some Americans simply hate free speech...
the churches freaked when kids were flocking to the Beatles instead of being brainwashed by religious cults...it's all about control and manipulation with organized religion...
Kids, never enter a confession booth with a Catholic priest!!!
and the USA keeps racking up the Olympic medals!!
Keeping an eye on the world
Going by my window...
