Okay, he didn't really say that. But he should have. Anyway, there's no sense in worrying too much about that. And I somehow doubt Harrison was a bigger asshole than Lennon (who's now practically beatified) was. I can't remember what I was doing the day Harrison passed, but I was in the frozen north at the time so I have a feeling it wasn't all that cheery. I have to confess that my collection of George Harrison's solo work is pretty spotty... probably something I should remedy.Pictagorashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571050801767892528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653640965095189077.post-63013131158666052162012-01-07T12:55:45.995-06:002012-01-07T12:55:45.995-06:00I remember the day Harrison passed. It was alread...I remember the day Harrison passed. It was already a very depressing time, just a few months after 9/11. I was very bummed out, and bought a copy of All Things Must Pass at Walmart. Being in Walmart was in itself a depressing experience. It's a triple album, which is a bit much. Maybe he should have pared it down, but still. Listening to that was very comforting for me at that time, and I also really like his posthumous Brainwashed. He was dying when he made it, and mortality is all over that record, in the lyrics and in his voice. According to his first wife, George was kind of an asshole. But I'm kind of an asshole, too, so that's OK.quincyscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475965815326505115noreply@blogger.com
