georgiapeach:
Jody and Shannon will sadly not be here to say the title....

Sailing:
I think Shawne and Monique will say it. They seem really religious. The Cowboys live in the Bible Belt though. So  :duno:?

The Beatles lived in Hamburg for some time.  From Wikipedia:

The Beatles' residency in Hamburg, the German city where John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best regularly performed at a series of four different clubs during the period August 1960 to December 1962, was a chapter in the group's history which honed their performance skills, widened their reputation, and led to their first recording, which brought them to the attention of Brian Epstein.

The Beatles booking agent, Allan Williams, decided to send the group to Hamburg when another group he managed, Derry and The Seniors, proved successful there. Having no permanent drummer at the time, they recruited Best a few days before their departure. They initially lived in squalid conditions, sleeping in an unheated storeroom behind the screen of a cinema, in an area renowned for gangsters and prostitutes. After breaking their contract by playing at another club, Harrison was deported for being under-age, and McCartney and Best were arrested and deported for attempted arson (McCartney and Best had set fire to a condom in the club).

In Hamburg The Beatles first met Astrid Kirchherr, who was instrumental in the adoption of the famous Beatle haircut. During their time in Hamburg bass player Sutcliffe decided to leave the group to continue his studies. In April 1962, less than a year after leaving the group, Sutcliffe died of a brain haemorrhage.

So our early (January 21) speculation that "early Beatles tasks" referred to Hamburg and not to Liverpool has been confirmed by CBS.  The early CBS blurb about TAR just mention that teams would follow some early Beatles lives was interpreted by some writers to mean England and added "in Liverpool" to the CBS quote.  Lots of Beattle stuff in Hamburg: the clubs they performed in, the new Beattles museum, and the newly designated "Beattles Platz" which would be good for a clue of for the pit stop location.

DavidJunior:
it doesn't necessarily have to be someone from the "Bible Belt" who says it.

Hamburg, although not directly related to, has some decent ties to Luther and the Lutheran Church.

Not to mention some huge churches that dominate the skyline.

So the title could easily be said while heading to the Beatles Platz (in the "red light district") from one of these said churches.

The stark contrast of a pious church and a less than modest street scene could easily get someone to say this quote

Although those Bible Belters are more likely to utter it, I still think it's open season for anyone.
