Default Who will be more popular 500 years from now: Babe Ruth or John Lennon?

Posted By: Al Crisafulli

I think Gerald Early's quote pretty much sums it up.

Two thousand years from now, when history students are studying America, this society is going to be known for three things: the Constitution, jazz music, and baseball.

Granted much of John Lennon's history comes from Britain, but I think the sentiment is the same. In my opinion, for all his great accomplishments, Lennon's contributions as a songwriter, as a celebrity, and as an activist already pale in comparison to others'. But there will only be one Babe Ruth.
