LONDON EVENING STANDARD
The London Evening Standard (simply the Evening Standard before May 2009) is a local, free daily newspaper, published Monday to Friday in tabloid format in London. It is the dominant local/regional evening paper for London and the surrounding area, with coverage of national and international news and City of London finance. In October 2009, the paper ended a 180-year history of paid circulation and became a free newspaper, doubling its circulation as part of a change in its business plan. (More from Wikipedia)
“We’re more popular than Jesus now.”
This might be the most provocative statement ever made by a rock star – and that is saying something. The above quotation is by John Lennon in March 1966, back when the Beatles were alive and well, when he was interviewed by journalist Maureen Cleave for the British newspaper, the London Evening Standard. Unlike the usual routine, Cleave interviewed each of the four Beatles individually rather than collectively.
