it really is so cute that george harrison eventually got to be in a band with bob dylan. he was really like "some day we're going to be boy best friends <3 <3 <3". and then they were

Just thinking about Eric Idle saying Paul hugged him during the Concert for George again!

Yahoo Entertainment: Tell me about the iconic Monty Python performance at the “Concert for George” all-star tribute at Royal Albert Hall in 2002.

Eric Idle: Olivia asked me if Python would come on. … She said, “Everybody's doing a George song. Would you do ‘Piggies’?” And I said, “We don't really do songs. We're not a singing group. You know, we do idiotic and rude things! So, why don't we sing ‘Sit on My Face and Tell Me That You Love Me’?” And she let us do it, so we did it! And I thought, “He would've been so happy that we did this. This would've made him so proud.” We insisted on doing something rude, and it lightened the mood. Laughter is close to tears, and if you can laugh at those times, it's really helpful. Because the rest of it was kind of very sad — like that the end with Joe Brown singing “I'll See You in My Dreams” with the petals falling, which is the most moving thing I think I've ever been part of. I'd have to go and cry a bit. And then Paul was great; he said, “Come here, you need a hug.” Every time he'd find me crying somewhere at the back, it was: “You need a hug. And it was very lovely, very nice. X

#Eric Idle #Paul McCartney #George Harrison #Olivia Harrison #I'm pretty sure he means Paul McCartney because that's the only Paul mentioned in the article #He also tells the story here about how Yoko liked the speech he gave at Bowie's wedding and says after that you couldn't live with John #Without having a great sense of humor

Remember when bob dylan wrote "let me hear you" and "let me see you" after george harrison asked him to write some words for a song, after years of george's songs not going into the beatles records? And when george wrote "the love you're blessed with, this world is waiting for" about bob when bob was scared of going back on doing concerts?

Brian Epstein in "Love Me Do" by Michael Braun

"I knew they would be bigger than Elvis. I knew they would be the biggest theatrical attraction in the world."

He recalls that his task with the Beatles at first was to let them retain their vitality, but make them dress more tidily.

He seems to be slightly hesitant about moving his office from Liverpool to London, "but I guess it's inevitable."

"Most managers are L.S.D. men," he says finally.

"I guess I have to be one too but I'm not really one at heart. I'd much rather be out on the road with the boys, looking after them. My one dream is seeing the four boys in their dressing room. No journalists, no fans, no theater people- just the boys."

"You know," he said, "the Beatles never know until twenty-four hours in advance what they will be doing next. In a way I'm sorry they've been so successful. John is a very unusual person. I got to know him well when we went on holiday in Spain last year." There was a pause.

"Now," he continued, "I'm closest to George; at least he's interested in the business side of the work." Another pause.

"It's just that I'm kept so busy managing their business affairs and I must share them with everybody."

PLAYBOY: "Ringo..."

RINGO: "Yes, PLAYBOY, sir?"

PLAYBOY: "How do you feel about the press? Has your attitude changed in the last year or so?"

RINGO: "Yes."

PLAYBOY: "In what way?"

RINGO: "I hate 'em more now than I did before."

-

PLAYBOY: "Did you know that the next day there was a letter in one of the Glasgow papers that accused you of directly 'inciting' the violence?"

RINGO: "How can they say that about us We don't even wiggle. It's not bloody fair."

GEORGE: "Bastards!"

-

PLAYBOY: "And then, before World War Two, there was the swing craze with Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, and all the dancing in the aisles. And now you--- before...."

JOHN: "Hold on! It's not our fault!"

PLAYBOY: "We're not saying you may have anything to do with inciting a war..."

PAUL: "Thanks."

-

PLAYBOY: "You guys seem to be pretty irreverent characters. Are any of you churchgoers?"

JOHN: "No."

GEORGE: "No."

PAUL: "Not particularly. But we're not antireligious. We probably seem antireligious because of the fact that none of us believe in God."

JOHN: "If you say you don't believe in God, everybody assumes you're antireligious, and you probably think that's what we mean by that. We're not quite sure 'what' we are, but I know that we're more agnostic than atheistic."

PLAYBOY: "Are you speaking for the group, or just for yourself."

JOHN: "For the group."

GEORGE: "John's our official religious spokesman."

-

PAUL: "But you know, in America..."

GEORGE: "They were more shocked by us saying we were agnostics."

JOHN: "Then they went potty; they couldn't take it. Same as in Australia, where they couldn't stand us not liking sports."

-

PLAYBOY: "To bring up another topic that's shocking to some, how do you feel about the homosexual problem?"

GEORGE: "Oh yeah, well, we're all homosexuals, too."

RINGO: "Yeah, we're all queer."

PAUL: "But don't tell anyone."

-

PLAYBOY: "Are you guys getting tired of talking?"

JOHN: "No."

PAUL: "No. Let's order some drinks. Scotch or Coke?"

JOHN: "I'll have chocolate."

GEORGE: "Scotch for me and Paul... and chocolate for the Beatle teenager."

JOHN: "Scotch is bad for your kidneys."

-

PLAYBOY: "Followed closely by Beatle Dolls. Have you seen them?"

GEORGE: They're actually life size, you know."

PLAYBOY: "The ones we've seen are only about five inches high."

PAUL: "Well, we're midgets, you see."

-

GEORGE: "Who'd want an ugly old crap doll like that?"

PLAYBOY: "Would you prefer a George doll, George?"

GEORGE: "No, but I've got a Ringo doll at home."

I was delighted to be home and eager to tell my friends all about our trip. George retreated into himself. He had become very intense in India: the experience seemed to have answered some of the nagging questions he had had about his life but it had taken some of the lightness out of his soul. He continued the meditation and the chanting, and his prayer wheel was never far from his hand. To begin with, so did I, but he became obsessive about it. Some days he would be all right, but on others he seemed withdrawn and depressed. This was new: he had never been depressed before, but there was nothing I could do. It wasn’t about me, but I found that my moods started to mirror his. Because I kept a diary, I discovered that we went into deep despair at the time of the full moon, and that it was particularly bad with every fourth—so bad, indeed, that at times I felt almost suicidal. I don’t think I was ever in any real danger of killing myself, but I got as far as working out how I would do it: I would put on a diaphanous Ossie Clark dress and jump off Beachy Head.

Ok, so we’ve all read that Bob Dylan quote where he talks about how he is “in awe of McCartney.” But my favorite thing about that quote is that he is not even asked about Paul in the first place? He is first asked about his George and says some great things in praise of his songwriting. Then, we arrive at the following passage:

Q: What was your relationship with John Lennon like? Somewhat competitive?

DYLAN: Yeah. Only to a certain extent, but not really. Him and McCartney both, really, they were fantastic singers. Lennon, to this day, it’s hard to find a better singer than Lennon was, or than McCartney was and still is. I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up. He’s got the gift for melody, he’s got the rhythm, he can play any instrument. He can scream and shout as good as anybody, and he can sing a ballad as good as anybody. And his melodies are effortless, that’s what you have to be in awe of. . . . He’s just so damn effortless. I just wish he’d quit [laughs]. Everything that comes out of his mouth is just framed in melody.

It’s just really funny to me that he feels the need to talk about Paul when he is specifically asked about John. And if you’re wondering why he was even asked about John in the first place, the interviewer is none other than, surprise surprise, Jann Wenner.

#my quotes #my thoughts #he mentions lennon and mccartney earlier in the interview #so asking about them both would have been the logical next step #I guess a reason he could have been asked about John specifically #is his reputation as the better lyricist #which would make him of more relevance to Dylan #but I think it’s funnier to think about jann wenner being a john fanboy #and unfortunately having to listen to bob dylan wax poetic about paul mccartney #bob dylan #george harrison #paul mccartney #john lennon #the beatles #beatles

George is so ridiculous disgustingly freaking rude hot in this goddamn video. I’m losing my mind . get out of here man

#how many times can I watch this video the limit does not exist #honorary mention for reason I watch this video is how dumb bob looks in his stupid hat #op #george harrison #the traveling wilburys

George, meanwhile, hated the Removes as Paul had done twelve months before. It was demeaning to be lumped in with boys a year younger. As he put it with characteristic brevity, "I did one day in Mike McCartney's class and then I thought fuck this and went over the railings."

Tune In - The Beatles: All These Years Vol 1 by Mark Lewisohn, page 188

#okay i know everyone's read this but i'm reading it atm and this made me laugh #george harrison scaling walls to avoid being further lumped with paul's actual little brother since 1958 #but also i've said it before but i genuinely am so interested in the overlapping circles of family between them #like john writing letters to george's mum in hamburg #or teaching ruth to ride a bike #and of course mike photographing them as much as he did #but also reading tune in i'm kind of fascinated by certain mentions #like george's brother peter being the same age as ringo and john #and going to dovedale primary school at the same time as john so presumably being in the same year level? #but lewisohn doesn't seem to make that connection himself so idk #maybe not #anyway #i find it interesting haha #there are so many overlapping circles between the four of them #i kinda want to compile some quotes and pictures and postcards #george harrison #mike mccartney #each other's families #the beatles #quotes #tune in

Re: Paul's walking out during the sessions for "She Said She Said":

Seen on FB. Oh my sweet summer boomer...

#what part of 'this is an exclusive team except when i want to do something' don't you understand #i had not actually heard this version before so i take it with a grain of salt (op claims George mentioned this as well as Pattie?) #but it tracks #and anyway my point was the commentor's confusion over Paul's bad boyfriend behavior #paul mccartney #john lennon #george harrison

To the Anon who wanted more excerpts from I, Me, Mine — this one’s for you!

The information comes from George’s sister-in-law, Irene Harrison, wife of his eldest brother Harry.

I especially found the last paragraph to be interesting; really enjoy the insight about George’s parents.

#George Harrison #Irene Harrison #Book: I Me Mine #The Beatles #(George’s parents were so loving with him) #(You know - it’s interesting that Irene mentions that Geo’s parents were worried about how trusting he was with people) #(Because George’s sister also made that same remark once – that he was too trusting when he was young that it made him vulnerable) #(On another note - shoutout to George and Paul visiting Harry and Irene on the regular) #1980
