John Lennon was speaking for the Beatles as a group and Kanye West has got a million miles to go before he gets within a million miles of being as big as the Beatles - Pete Townsend I don't know about, not that much of a fan.
I ain't a fan of Mr West, but I think that there are those in the music industry who might regard him as on a par with the Beatles. That's a highly subjective judgement.
Elvis!!
Yes, and I'm the next Elvis!! 
What do you mean? An overweight, white leather clad junkie?
Not really; but I'll go for the rich icon bit. 
So much for the love of money being the root of all evil and selling everything you have and giving the proceeds to the poor! 
What a pathetic attempt to score a point, on the back of a joke inter-change. Bit of a laugh, though, you quoting Scripture; and you being such a philanthropic type!!
BA - you really do take the biscuit! You are perfectly happy to use the bible to back up your points or to agree with points made by people quoting the bible, but anyone uses it to hit back you get all hissy!
In case you haven't sussed yet: I happen to accept the Bible (NT, that is - from which the quote comes), so it is acceptable for me to quote from it. Shaker does not accept it, so his use of quotes is hypocritical. And you are thick, not to appreciate that.
No, I am NOT "thick".
If you use any published article to support an argument you must accept that someone else can use that self-same article against that argument.
You say you accept the bible (NT) - then you must accept it in its entirety, including all its conbtradictions and anomalies, and you cannot only accept those arguments that fit your position.
Ypou have made a statement regarding money which, quite rightly, has been pointed out to be against the bible's teaching. You cannot have it both ways.
If, by my statement, I am "thick", then, by yours, you are "hypocrite".
