Back in the day Reverend Billy Graham was a rock star and drew crowds comparable to the fab four in the early sixties. Billy graham had a major influence in America in the early sixties as did this rock group called the Beatles and the mainstream media was in its infancy starting to grow its tentacles and was worried. They were perplex how to cover both the Beatles and Reverend Billy graham and unquestionably they decided so much. that the Beatles would be the rockstar. Perhaps the best achievement of the media and its pwoer should be praised to the almighty for this work.
Billy Graham was a rock star in his own right whose speaking tours and work was forming the new evangelical movement hated by so many on the left today for it political influence. Billy Graham packed Soldier field with some one hundred thousand people coming to see him speak while the Beatles barely packed 60,00 mainly young sex-obsessed and deprived young women. The media focused its lens on the four punks from Liverpool and Billy graham was regulated to the sidelines as lack of media coverage hindered the growth of his movement that money interests and corporations were worried so much. The decision to go with early rockers and ignore preachers had profound affect in this social experiment of the media using it power to overnight change cultural direction.
Of course it didn't help that Billy Graham like Moses in the classic movie became old overnight ahh I guess by the sudden appearance of God and had Billy graham became buff and a body builder sculptor like pro wrestler" Superstar" Billy Graham things might have been a bit different. Super Star Billy graham was a stud steroid induced bad ass that dominated the wrestling ring and was the Jesse Ventura of his day. The problem with preacher Billy G is the basic problem the world has always faced and that is one where white and gray headed fucks always need to retain power and run things their way in a stubborn and annoying way that alienates the masses. Who knows maybe pumping some iron instead of memorizing religions boring texts all day could of made preacher Billy Graham another avenue to fame like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The only thing he had in common with preacher Billy Graham was the name and the Superstar deserves more acclaim that the boring evangelical Graham who thought he spoke to God when in fact it was to his puppet masters and members and clergy of the extreme religious protestant industrial ecumenical complex, that was paranoid about a British invasion and an Irish Catholic take over of the White House.
The Reverend Billy Graham should just of taken some juice and prepare for a long fight against the likes of Gorgeous George and other flamboyant trans gendered whack jobs trying to change society. Church is always for old people worried about their pending doom and time on this planet and charlatans like Billy Graham handsomely profit form this feat and make themselves rock star bosses of the cross, but Billy graham was no superstar and had just a gram of love for humanity. He was never and will never be as cool as another dead one that pumped iron and through men across the fucking ring in the seventies and eighties. Billy Graham dead at the age of 109.
