…with a little compassion
“If we were all perfected beings we wouldn’t be here in the physical world. The fact that we’re all here in these bodies means that we’re not perfected. So having accepted we’re not perfected, we can allow for each others inadequacies or failings with a little compassion.” ~George Harrison
Crackerbox Palace
Some times are good, some times are bad; That’s all a part of life And standing in between them all I met a Mr. Grief, and he said: I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace Was not expecting you Let’s rap and tap at Crackerbox Palace Know that the Lord is well and inside of …
Death And
I saw this posted to Reddit: And it reminded me of this:
Things Exploded
“You can’t make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up under them.” ~Ray Bradbury, in Fahrenheit 451 And that reminded me of this: I never knew that things explodedI only found it out when I was down upon my kneesLooking for my …
Not every day.
Howard Stern Comes Again, ©2019, is a collection of transcripts of what Stern considers his best interviews over the last several years. The excerpt below with Paul McCartney is from January 14, 2009: Howard: I haven’t spoken to you since George Harrison died. How are you doing with that? That’s got to be major. Paul: …
Just For Today
George’s widow Olivia Harrison said that this song is her favorite of his. Someone on YouTube pointed out that it has two separate guitar solos, which I suppose is the sort of thing that happens when the lead guitarist writes the song. What I always enjoyed about it is that it seems like something from …
You Don’t Really Need It
“A hippie is supposed to be someone who becomes aware– you’re hip if you know what’s going on. But if you’re really hip, you don’t get involved with LSD and things like that. You see the potential that it has and the good that can come from it, but you also see that you don’t …
One Throw
“As they say ‘to be in the world, but not of the world.’ You can go to the Himalayas and miss it completely, and you can be stuck in the middle of New York and be very… I mean, I noticed in certain places, like New York, it brings out a certain thing in myself. …
Here. Now.
“It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one.” ~George Harrison
Weeps
George Harrison, Jeff Lynn, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Ray Cooper, Elton John… The sad part is how many faces you saw reunite to perform this song at the Concert for George.
The thoughts in their heads / Manifest on their brow…

I really want to know You…
From Concert for George. At the end, Billy Preston turns and gives Ringo a thumbs up, and Ringo responds by holding his sticks high in the air. They know they nailed it.
Removed the dark from in me
One of my favorites of his. I found someone who showed me Illumined my consciousness Removed the dark from in me And given me that which I have lost… Full lyrics HERE.
If you are big enough to take it…
George made this demo before handing it over to his friend Ringo. Ringo took out the “Hare Krishna!,” but otherwise left it pretty much the same.
Don’t let her see a cloudy sky…
From The Fire Squire: Today’s Georgetune is one highlighted recently on the LFG FB page, here’s the wonderful ‘Take Good Care of My Baby’ performed at the infamous Decca audition, and led by 18-year-old George doing his best Buddy/Elvis/Bobby impression – and crikey, he’s great. Based on this, I’m surprised Dick Rowe didn’t say “Well …

A long, strange, wonderful trip…
Today is my third wedding anniversary. I first fell in love with Mona when we were 13, but we didn’t get married until we were 48. (It’s a long story. I’ll tell it sometime.) This was the song we chose for our first dance.
