Remembering George
-
It's hard to believe, but it was seven years ago today ( November 29th, 2001) that we lost George.

George's spirit is alive and well forever. But yes, I still remember that sad, cold ,cloudy back in 2001 . I remember knowing George had been ill for a couple of years prior, but when he passed on, it hit me hard- harder than I thought it would. I think there should be something for George like "strawberry fields" in NYC for John. A calm, beautiful garden with lots of flowers with Indian music, and ukeleles playing gently from speakers in big lush trees.

The Beatles went from their 'Love Me Do' single to their 'Abbey Road' album in a similar time span. The world and time itself seem to have sped up....or is it just that I'm getting older? Those seven years have certainly slipped away very quickly.

Was about to post a tribute to George myself Liz, thank you for doing so. Indeed, seven years ago today... my how the time just flies... each day just goes so fast. I am so glad that George Harrison was one of The Beatles. He was a very special person who will never be forgotten. Once, I was able to be just a few metres from the man... but I wasn't able to shake his hand and thank him for all the wonderful words and music he gave to all of us.

Wow - is that Jeff Lynne in the car as well? Either way, that's pretty cool - thanks for posting the pic. As far as George, yes his brilliance was overshadowed by the Lennon/McCartney writing partnership and I'm just glad his talent has since gained the reputation it deserves. Whether it's from before or after the Beatles split, George has created songs that are as universally recognized around the globe as much as any John or Paul song (something, Here Comes The Sun, My Sweet Lord, etc)...one of my favorites from George is Isn't It A Pity...Great tune.
A couple of friends jamming up in heaven (Not the Eric Clapton part, Billy Preston).... -

As strong as my attraction both musically and physically was for John and Paul, I can't discount my absolute amazement at the incredible depth and beauty of George's songs. I mean John and Paul were cranking them out, but then George would come out with this incredible masterpiece like "SOMETHING" and absolutely knock my socks off!! I remember hearing HERE COMES THE SUN and being just blown away and I can honestly say to this day I feel the same when I hear it. It is one of my very favorite Beatle songs and I play and sing it often. I didn't care for his Indian influenced songs back then, I guess I felt they were sort of anti- Beatle and they turned me off, but it didn't take long before I was falling in love with many of his songs again like MY SWEET LORD, FOR YOU BLUE, etc. etc. No doubt about it, he was one of a kind and is sorely missed....RIP George

Yes Rich, that is Jeff Lynne. One of these days I will transfer the 1987 Rockline interview I have on cassette (they had just finished the interview when I snapped that), and post it. It is pretty wild.

Wow, thanks Mark, that was a cute clip
You know, he was quite handsome??? I was probably so smitten with Paul.....I couldn't see the forest for the trees nellie apple: that's an incredibly handsome shot of George....probably the best I've ever seen. Funny, I use to go out with a guy that looked just like him in that picture. Check out that gold hoop earring in his right ear....pretty cool huh? -
