After John Lennon said the Beatles were “more popular than Jesus,” some US radio stations staged angry protests. KLUE in Longview, Texas, piled Beatles albums into a bonfire on August 19, 1966. The very next day, a lightning bolt struck the station’s 500-foot transmitter tower, destroying equipment and knocking KLUE off the air for hours. Listeners called it karma; the station manager sheepishly admitted, “We must have powerful enemies.”
