GEORGE HARRISON...gone now for 8 years...

...living on within you and without you...

Some people may not think so, but I thought George's Beatles songs were at least pretty good, and in some cases, were better than most of John and Paul's contributions. Harrison, of course, had to really fight to get his one or two songs per record, and many of his songs of that era were rejected, ending up on "All Things Must Pass", when he decided to go it Solo.

Some of my favorite Harrison-Beatles tracks include "Don't Bother Me", "If I Needed Someone", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "I Want To Tell You", "Within You Without You, "Savoy Truffle", "Something", "Here Comes The Sun" and "Taxman". He wrote some not-too-good stuff, too, as did Lennon & McCartney. (L & M's "Tell Me What You See", for instance.)

Anyway, on Sunday, November 29th, George will have been gone for 8 years. Cancer got him. So Don't Smoke, or if you Do Smoke, QUIT NOW. Anyway, here's a testament to George, on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame...

There's another new post below this one, but I feel George had to have his own space here. It's the least I can do, for one of my Absolute Heroes.
