"JESUS!"
by El "The Greek" Greco

Painted shorty after the celebrated "Rock Feud" (voted #32 on VH1's "Top 100 Rock Feuds You Don't Give a Shit About") between Jesus of Nazareth and The Beatles of Liverpool, this painting, simply titled "JESUS!", (reportedly the first thing El "The Greek" Greco's mother said when he told her that he wanted to be a painter) is said to portray the thoughts of Jesus after hearing of John Lennon's death.

The feud had started when Lennon offhandedly remarked that the Beatles were "bigger than Jesus," after which Jesus declared 'shenanigans'. Things escalated when Jesus was heard saying "I like Beatles just fine. I just think they should let Ringo sing more." The insults where hurrled back and forth until Jesus recorded what many believe to be the first dis record, a top 40 hit entitled "The Gospel According to J-Dog."

Some of the lyrics:
o "Tell me you're big/See if you can/At least I won't be/Shot by a fan."
o "They call you John/You don't know jack/Cuz when I die/I'm comin' back!"
o "Hey hey/My my/Gonna shove this cross/Up your ass!"
