History rhymes

"History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it just screams, 'Why don't you listen to me?' and lets fly with a big stick."--John W. Campbell, Jr.

This quote sums up perfectly the following historical rhyme I just discovered.

For your consideration, I offer John Lennon's quote about the Beetles, from 1966: "We're more popular than Jesus now".

And now, Kanye West, 50 years later: "Are they f—–g crazy? Whoa by 50 percent [I am more influential than] Stanley Kubrick, Picasso, Apostle Paul, f—–g Picasso and [drug runner Pablo] Escobar. By 50 percent more influential than any other human being. Don’t f–k with me. Don’t f–k with me. Don’t f–k with me. By 50 percent dead or alive, by 50 percent for the next 1,000 years. Stanley Kubrick, ‘Ye.'"

Which leaves me wondering what Kanye thinks about Jesus?
