Beatle Religion

The Gospel According to John, Ringo, Paul and George

Bob Carlton takes a look at rock music writer Steve Turner's "The Gospel According to the Beatles,” in this week's full-text RNS article, linked above.

Quote:

“Religion seemed sort of dull and conformist and rock’n’roll was sort of shiny and exciting, and the two didn't seem to meet at all. Then when the Beatles started asking questions about meaning and singing songs like ‘Nowhere Man,’ they actually investigated religion."
