...music. As the Fab Four progressed from writing most of their own material to writing all of it, rock fans began to show somewhat less interest in the style of performance and more interest in the actual quality of the song as a piece of writing.

Their message: the Bible is true, miracles happen, God really did so love the world that he gave it his only begotten son. In 1966 Beatle John Lennon casually remarked that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ; now the Beatles are shattered, and George Harrison is singing My Sweet Lord. The new young followers of Jesus listen to Harrison, but they turn on only to the words of their Master: "For where two or three are gathered together...
