My life with the Beatles had become a trap... I always remember to thank Jesus for the end of my touring days; if I hadn't said that the Beatles were 'bigger than Jesus' and upset the very Christian Ku Klux Klan, well, Lord, I might still be up there with all the other performing fleas! God bless America. Thank you, Jesus.

'Revolution' . There were two versions of that song but the underground left only picked up on the one that said 'count me out'.

Why is everyone telling me to do it? I already did it.

We are all Christ and Hitler. Yoko and I want Christ to win.
