Do you think John is the most popular person in Heaven??? ;D
God (represented by St. Peter) at the gates: So you want to get into heaven do you Mr. Lennon?
John: I would appreciate consideration for that eventuality--uh, yes.
God: What about that business about "imagine there's no heaven"?
John: Oh that's Yoko's lyric. Its from "Grapefruit". Have you ever read it.
God: No, but I had it for breakfast this morning.
John: Yeah, I should have given her offical credit on that song. But I was snake bit by another songwriting partner of mine--McCartney. Have you ever heard of Lennon/McCartney.
God: McCartney? Wasn't he with that group Wings?
John: That's right.
God: Oh yes. Wings--very popular up here.
John: Really?
God: I tell you what. I'll let you in if you answer one question honestly?
John: OK.
God: Did you write the melody for 'In My Life"?
John (to himself: "You gotta believe he knows the real answer to that"). Uh, what do you think?
God: I sent it down from Heaven. I know who I sent it to.
John: That's what I thought.
God: Oh never mind. What about the lyrics to Eleanor Rigby. Are they yours?
John: Did you read Pete Shotten's book?
God: Remember I am all knowing and all seeing.
John: Like the Maharishi?
God: No, not like that giggling fool. I know who wrote every word and every note of every song written by you and Paul.
John: There is no one on Earth who has such knowledge, not even Paul!
God: Yes there is on person on Earth to whom I have imparted that knowledge. He goes by the name RTP.
Now about getting you into Heaven. Let me tell you a secret. Do you promise not to tell?
John: Oh brother. Yes.
God: You can get into Heaven even if you had some negative things to say about Jesus if you have goodness and love in your heart. If you have a pure heart, you can enter into my kingdom.
John: Oh I regret what I said about religion and Jesus and God as a thing what ever it is.
God: Huh? No matter. I sense you are pure of heart. You have done good works--bed ins and growing your hair for peace. You may enter the Kingdom of God.
John: Oh, thank you. I'm more impressed with you than I was with Allen Klein.
God: Yes well.
John: I have a question for you. Is that the real Paul walking around on Earth?
God: Don't you know?
John: We we had drifted apart by 1966.
God: I see. Well, you know how I sent Jesus down to Earth and he died and he rose from the dead?
John: Yeah.
God: Well, I pulled the same trick with Paul. He was killed in an accident in 1966, but I couldn't let him die at that time. Too popluar. He is actually half man and half God.
John: I knew it!
Great post RTP! This made my day.
It appears I don't have to slog thru any more posts on whether John and Paul were gay, or too many on who gets what credit (silly percentages) for the songs when scrolling thru the top 100 posts...Yay.....
Looking forward to seeing the Scorcese film for the first time and hearing George's demo's that should arrive any day now from Amazon.
Lots of Golden anniveraries coming up in the next few months for The Beatles as their recording career got rolling in 1962.
Paul turns 70 in a month (will Ringo join him somewhere to celebrate onstage?).
We'll have to pass through the unfortunate 50th anniversary of Pete's sacking in three months (will Paul make a comment or gesture towards his old condom-stunt mate to heal old wounds?)
Maybe Ringo will invite Andy White onstage somewhere on his All-Starr tour this summer (is he playing New Jersey?) to drum thru a version of "Love Me Do" while Ringo grabs a tambourine for a golden anniversary "laugh" moment?
