Remembering George
-
-
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

Wow - is that Jeff Lynne in the car as well? Either way, that's pretty cool - thanks for posting the pic.
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.

Thank you Liz.
I began listening to "Here Comes The Sun" and just got a little emotional whilst remembering George.

Right now I am watching a special on PBS Telelvision about The Smothers Brothers and they just showed a short clip of George from 1968. I just found it on YouTube...

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?

Sure Claudia, I've heard it all before.
Of course, I am impartial when it comes to their looks and all, but I have heard many comments over the years from as many ladies, as to who they felt was the best looking Beatle.
Amazing that George appeared just a few weeks after The Smo Bros aired the videos of "Hey Jude" and "Revolution." I remember like it was yesterday, watching on our old black and white tv set, The Beatles singing those songs. Back then, it was if you'd miss it, tough beans. Because there weren't no home vcr's then.
Yes, nellie apple posted a nice photo of George and I thank her for the link to George's official website as I completely forgot to do that earlier.

I remember the day he died. I actually received calls of condolence, and my dad even gave me permission to stay home from school. My luck, it was a P.A. Day, and there for wasn't going to school in the first place. I actually don't remember crying at the time. Of course there was sadness, but I didn't cry. Mind you, I can't count how many times I've cried in the past month, and in the last few weeks, I've turned back to the Beatles to restore some faith, and it's worked somewhat. When I remembered George this weekend, I still cried, but a lot of it was due to my happiness when I listen to Beatles music. I truly miss him and his beautiful soul.

A very sad anniversary, with another one approaching in a week. I marked the anniversary by listening to Brainwashed, a fabulous CD!! Thank you for all the great music George!! I will miss you always!!

Happened to tune in to Breakfast With The Beatles yesterday as I was driving up to L.A., and it was all Harrisongs, dedicated to George. And yes, I too was shocked when they said it was seven years since he left the material world.

I remember a scene in Help, when they are sitting at the bar and George says something like he is noticing girls winking at him more, and then he turns to Paul and says, it used to be you didn't it. He did get more handsome as he aged.
