Well, I suppose those could work, but if I was writing an All The Tropes page for this work, here's how it would start.
We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first – rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

One could never say that the Beatles' apostle was "thick and ordinary". Mr. Starr's own rise to fame (he was never quite as famous as Lennon or McCartney, but he's never faded away, either) gave him the perfect place to spread the word about others, making them more famous. He added to the fame of the Beatles, he added to the fame of the members of the All-Starr Band, and he added to the fame of Thomas the Tank Engine. Truly, The Apostle Ringo can spread the word. And this is his story.
The Apostle Ringo is a fictionalized account of the life of Ringo Starr, casting him as a divinely-mandated agent of fame. ...
