John Lennon would have been 80 this year. Now that I can’t imagine.
John became a Christian shortly before he was killed, per his diaries. Despite appearances and some misguided lyrics, he seems to always have had an interest in Christianity and it seems to have scared him, because he ran away from it until the end. Incidentally, the line about The Beatles being more popular than Jesus was said by John with astonishment. He was not bragging.
