Long enough, in time, sourced, inline hook citations check out, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. ALT1 is, I think, much more interesting. Raymie, perhaps there's a way to work in the reason for the anti-Beatles sentiment (Lennon's comment about the group's Christ-like popularity) into a hook? --Usernameunique (talk) 04:10, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

- ALT2: ... that when John Lennon called The Beatles more popular than Jesus Christ, KLUE radio in Longview, Texas, responded by staging a bonfire of Beatles memorabilia?
