“That was quite good, because there was a lot of sport. There was football and messing about. I used to think I was able to run pretty quick, and I liked playing football. I think all the kids think they are good, but really they are useless.” – George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology

Lovely pictures of one of the FAB four George Harrison was a fantastic musician in his own right his music will live on for ever got most of his album’s he was simply the best since sliced bread.
Great pictures a couple of rare one too
George Harrison had his 17th birthday in 1960, the year The Beatles arrived in Hamburg in a full-packed mini-van.
So started his rough rock’n roll life at full-speed.
He was 20 when the Beatlemania started,
He bought a sitar and played it on “Norwegian Wood” when he was 22
In 1968, he bought Moog and in the year next played it on many Abbey Road -tracks
He also released his first solo -LP, produced another artist, and made music -LP for film.
He was then 26, and the band dissolved.
At 27, he launched his solo career with the world n:o 1 triple-LP, that sold 7 x platinum in the US.
At 28, he put up the first-ever charity rock-concert
At 31, he put up own music label and long touring.
At 35, he put up his film producing company.
…………
Seems he gave all he had.
He had the most amazing life one can imagine.
He was wonderfully persistent and gained so much.
He didn’t grew bitter or jealous, although there’re many examples in the music world about that.
Just my opinion, but you overthink. . He was pretty straightforward. Not a mystery. Not complicated at all. Best information to be gleaned is from direct interviews, which are everywhere. He was unfailingly consistent, through every interview- no pretentiousness. The written word is to be avoided, only because the majority are written by those who never even met him. They perpetuate that same myth of quiet, mystic, mystery nonsense.
He was just a regular, normal human being, possessed of an insatiable curiosity, conscious of his own shortcomings, a loving spirit, more sensitive than he liked to let on, and braver than anyone would assume.
That’s all I wanted to say.
Love George! My favorite Beatles❤️
