Death notwithstanding John Lennon has finally been forgiven for saying the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. In an age where the iPhone is commonly referred to as the Jesus phone (at least in the European press) and a recent Presidential campaign included charges of Messiahship, it's hard to imagine the days when that quip led to the mass burning of Beatles albums. It's a good thing the Vatican is finally over it. 42 years of the sun setting on that kind of anger is an awful lot of sunsets.
