Meet the Beatles!
Lennon's comments continued to be the subject of scrutiny in right-wing religious literature, particularly in the writing of David Noebel, a longstanding critic of the Beatles' influence on American youth. According to a 1987 article by Mark Sullivan in the journal "Popular Music", a photo from WAYX's Beatles bonfire in Waycross, Georgia, which shows a child presenting the "Meet the Beatles!" LP for burning, became "Probably the most famous photograph of the entire anti-rock movement". According to Steve Turner, the episode became "so much a part of history" that the words "More popular than Jesus" are synonymous with the 1966 controversy.
