From George’s appearance on the Rutland Weekend Television Christmas special aired on BBC2 on December 26, 1975.

“‘The Pirate Song’ was written for the pirate sketch on the Rutland Weekend Television Christmas Show, 1975. It was co-written (words and music) by Eric Idle and myself. [...] All my friends are pirates.” - George Harrison, I Me Mine (1980)

“George lurched on as a truculent and slightly unstable pirate and demanded to know where the Pirate sketch was. As the sleazy compere, I insisted he was only there to sing ‘My Sweet Lord,’ and there was no pirate sketch. But he was having none of that. ‘No pirate sketch? Well, up you then,’ and off he stormed...” - Eric Idle, A Sortabiography (2018)

“I got an e-mail from the Liv the other day [in 2003] saying she thought George performing ‘The Pirate Song’ on Rutland Weekend Television was the bravest thing he ever did and that she wanted to be a pirate, too. Well, his dark sweet lady was the love of his life, and I know how much he loved her; a braver, finer, lovelier companion no man could ever find, and it breaks my heart to think of these last […] years.” - Eric Idle, The Greedy Bastard Diary (2003)

“[P]irate as he is, [George] deserves the word ‘bold’ for he is, in truth, quite the boldest man I have ever met.” - Derek Taylor, I Me Mine (1980)

“He was a naughty boy, you know — an artist, a pirate. But his meditation left him well prepared for his death. He said he was ready to leave his body. He was always a ‘No need to panic’ kind of person.” - Olivia Harrison, Vanity Fair, September 27, 2011 (x)

what they don't warn you about monty python's flying circus is that eventually the song adaptation of william blake's jerusalem will become very catchy and even comforting to hum. sorry.

#i wish i lived in england. i would sing *jerusalem* in a box with the dept store employees #i would watch *old weird men* narrate *stuffy bbc documentaries* #i would run into *eric idle* and he would *sing to me in bed* on live television. sigh. i wish I lived in england

Hello, this is my first Tumblr post! Also a happy new year.

If there's a list of things I love, then:

Terry Jones singing in "Euro-police Song Contest"

Eric Idle and his wonderful wordplay

Michael Palin being the ultimate scammer (maybe not so much)

John Cleese just going crazy

Graham Chapman rolling around on the floor like a spider

and...drumroll, please...Terry Gilliam as the nude organist.

Maybe he needs to put some clothes on though. But the Gilliam stans like it. I think.

Any discussion of Sloth in the present day is of course incomplete without considering television, with its gifts of paralysis, along with its creature and symbiont, the notorious Couch Potato. Tales spun in idleness find us Tubeside, supine, chiropractic fodder, sucking it all in, re-enacting in reverse the transaction between dream and revenue that brought these colored shadows here to begin with so that we might feed, uncritically, committing the six other deadly sins in parallel, eating too much, envying the celebrated, coveting merchandise, lusting after images, angry at the news, perversely proud of whatever distance we may enjoy between our couches and what appears on the screen.

Sad but true. Yet, chiefly owing to the timely invention -- not a minute too soon ! -- of the remote control and the VCR, maybe there is hope after all. Television time is no longer the linear and uniform commodity it once was. Not when you have instant channel selection, fast-forward, rewind and so forth. Video time can be reshaped at will. What may have seemed under the old dispensation like time wasted and unrecoverable is now perhaps not quite as simply structured. If Sloth can be defined as the pretense, in the tradition of American settlement and spoliation, that time is one more nonfinite resource, there to be exploited forever, then we may for now at least have found the illusion, the effect, of controlling, reversing, slowing, speeding and repeating time -- even imagining that we can escape it. Sins against video time will have to be radically redefined.

-Thomas Pynchon, “Nearer, My Couch, To Thee”
