* BiggerThanJesus: The {{Trope Namer|s}}, although John [[BeamMeUpScotty didn't actually say it]]. His actual BlasphemousBoast in 1966 was a claim that the Beatles were "''more popular'' than Jesus", which he said while being interviewed for a feature article by Maureen Cleave, an ''Evening Standard'' journalist who'd known the Beatles for several years. The resulting article passed without notice in Britain (where the decline in church attendance that he was referring to was a well-known phenomenon), and also drew no complaints when the interview was republished in the ''New York Times''. It only landed him and his bandmates in big trouble when the quote was reprinted ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_popular_than_Jesus out of context]]) in media in the more staunchly Christian and conservative American DeepSouth five months later.

In 1975, Lennon left the music business to raise his infant son Sean, before returning in 1980. On December 8 of that year, Lennon was shot dead outside the Dakota apartments in New York City shortly after completing a recording session. He was 40 years old. His killer, Mark David Chapman, was a fan of the Beatles who was incensed by Lennon's lifestyle and public statements, including lyrics in several of his songs ("God" and "Imagine") and his infamous 1966 remark that the Beatles had become "more popular than Jesus".
