You're all daft!In a widely quoted 1966 interview, John Lennon had apparently claimed that The Beatles were bigger than God and was reported to have gone on to say that God had never had a hit record. The story spread like wildfire in America. Many fans burned their albums, many more burned their fingers attempting to burn their albums. Album sales skyrocketed. People were buying them just to burn them. But in fact it was all a ghastly mistake. Lennon, talking to a slightly deaf journalist, had claimed only that The Beatles were bigger than Rod.
Rod Stewart would not be big for another eight years, and certainly at this stage hadn't had a hit. At a press conference, Lennon apologized to God, Rod and the press.
