...is through her music.
A Green Party man randomly added me on Facebook, and has just sent me a George Harrison vid, with a very nice little message to go with it.
It'd be hard to make a better first impression than that!
Now, I had been toying with the idea of voting Green anyway, so it isn't as though I'm being TOTALLY silly and impulsive here.
And so, let this serve as a lesson to our pals in politics: if you want me to vote for you, try doing something that will di... MORE

Sorry for the duplicate post, but I can’t figure out how to add an Mp3 to an existing post (if that's indeed doable) Seems to me (George’s composition notwithstanding) that Paul deserves a lot of credit for his Bass line...and considering his Bass in general, that’s saying a lot When John says: “There was an embarrassing period when George's songs weren't that good and nobody wanted to say anything. He just wasn't in the same league for a long time — t... MORE

Alright, basically I'm just looking for an excuse to post this song, as I find it to completely and totally great.
Just the sort of thing you need after a despicably stressful day.
My life's ambition is now to relocate to Hawaii.
Maybe I'll be a mailman! (Mailperson just doesn't SOUND as good; it reeks of politically-correctness, plus it doesn't mesh well with spell check, so pardon me for being exclusive.) PS, I Love George.
Simple as that, kids!
Also, this ... MORE

Well friends, it's been sixty-five years today (or possibly yesterday; who knows) since Mister Harrison arrived on the planet Earth, and I've gotta say, I'm damn glad he did.
I've spent the vast majority of the last eight-odd days reflecting on George, playing his music, watching his films, consuming orange things, and so on, and so forth, and as a result my brain is now overflowing with marvelous things to say about him.
Just now though, I'm very tired, so I'll be doing th... MORE

Watch out now, take care
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertips
Beware of darkness Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night Beware of sadness
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Da... MORE

George Harrison's lyrics were often profound in their stark simplicity.
Often perceived as the silent, mystic, mysterious Beatle, and yet his lyrics were far more direct and "on the surface" than Lennon's or McCartney's.
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me
Just about says it all, no?
Paul McCartney always loved the limelight. Lennon manipulated it, showed us shadow puppets and his dick.
George hated the spotlight. Hated the loss of freedom,the fishbowl e... MORE

Another track from Jools Hollands Big Band Rhythm & Blues cd, and as I mentioned previously, the last track recorded and _completed_ by George Harrson before his death.
A very fine cd for anyone who loves good music played well. An impressive array of guests get to strut their stuff in a project that IMHO is two cuts above the usual result of such concepts.... MORE

Well, Here we are, New Year's Day. I'm up early 'cause I cannot sleep late in the morning, no matter what the night before entailed. But truth be told Wifey & I spent the eve sippin' wine, listenin' to good music & playin' scrabble. (I know, we are party animals.) So this track is from George Harrison's "Dark Horse" cd. A cd that is hardly more than an official bootleg.
EMI /Capitol knew of George's plan to leave the roost, so they demanded george fullfill ... MORE

Sounding more like a 'vocal guide' than a cover, George's demo of Ringo's "It Don't Come Easy" raises some questions.
Not the least of which would be; Why did Ringo need a vocal guide for a song he wrote?

Some riffs just stick in your mind. This guitar loop with Eric Clapton contributing is hard to forget once you've heard it.
