  It was on this subject that Lennon let loose the quote that would cause him untold aggravation and heavily impact on his career. "Christianity will go," he said. "It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first, rock'n'roll or Christianity."
  When the article was published on March 4, 1966, the newspaper did not highlight Lennon's opinion on Christianity at all nor did his statement send shockwaves around the country. Britain's relationship to organized religion was—and is—tepid. Religion tends to be bound up in civic matters. Remembrance Day, for example, in no way carries the weight that it enjoys in the Mediterranean or indeed America's Bible Belt. Moreover, the thoughts of pop stars were not exactly awaited with bated breath. As the eminent Beatle writer Steve Turner points out, "The opinions of pop stars on anything other than pop music were not taken terribly seriously in the Britain of 1966."
  Having secured the rights to Cleave's profiles, Unger cut the first two paragraphs from the Lennon piece and then he pulled out the most provocative quote. The piece ran with the headline, "I don't know which will go first, rock'n'roll or Christianity." He did the same with the McCartney profile in which the Beatle had condemned American racism in the sharpest terms. Unger was smart, knew that to gain real publicity for the magazine he only had to send the magazine south.
  Instantly Charles reacted, "Oh! That does it for me. I am not going to play The Beatles anymore," and so began the bushfire that would engulf the band.
  On August 11 The Beatles flew into America. Lennon in particular was nervous. According to his wife Cynthia when he left for the tour he was frightened and downcast. He had never meant to provoke so much anger and hatred for stating what he saw was the truth. The first thing they did was hold two press conferences, one for the national media, and one for the media that would be following them on tour. Before appearing in front of the cameras, Lennon took advice from Epstein and Tony Barrow. He was caught in the middle. Part of him, the arrogant all-powerful Lennon, was loath to apologize. The other part, the intelligent musician, knew he—and therefore The Beatles—was swimming in very dangerous waters.

conversations.value: On the following Thursday, at the invitation of George Martin, the comedian Spike Milligan (an ex-Goon) attended another session for "Across The Universe." Lennon was unhappy with the day's work so the band selected George's song "The Inner Light" for the B-side and shelved "Across The Universe" for future use.
  Milligan now made a suggestion. Would they consider placing the song on an album he was involved with to raise cash for the World Wildlife Fund? The Beatles agreed to the proposition.
  The song is not only a great Lennon song, bathed in warmth and intimacy, but it also reveals the great effect of meditation on John. Sung on acoustic guitar, John imagines the wonders of the universe calling to him. His line about the undying light of a million suns would fit in any psychedelic song but here it is framed in a non-LSD context. Meanwhile, the chorus line mentions the meditation teacher Dev who taught the Maharishi.
  Meditation had worked wonders for the band. It had instilled a real sense of calm into their lives, which was desperately needed after the chaos of Beatlemania. The Beatles wanted more of it and were going to India to fling themselves head first into the discipline. The answers they had been searching for might well be answered by meditation. There was even talk of starting up a meditation school, of enticing their fans to follow suit, so convinced were they of meditation's great benefits.
  John and George went out first, Paul followed, Ringo landed last. All Beatles brought their wives or girlfriends along with various friends. Their days followed a similar pattern. The Beatles, plus other celebrity guests, such as Mike Love of The Beach Boys and Donovan, would rise and breakfast in the open. They would then return to their bungalows and meditate. In the afternoon and evening, lectures were given by the Maharishi.

conversations.value: In November 2001, George flew to Los Angeles and there at the house of Gavin de Becker, a security expert, George Harrison passed away. He was 58 and left this earth surrounded by his wife Olivia, their son Dhani and two Hare Krishna devotees. His ashes were later taken to India and scattered in the Ganges river.
  Mourners in Liverpool observe a minute's silence for George Harrison after he passed away from cancer at age 58.
  Bob Dylan said of him, "He was a giant, a great, great soul, with all of the humanity, all of the wit and humor, all the wisdom, the spirituality, the common sense of a man and compassion for people... The world is a profoundly emptier place without him."
