Here is my favourite story about George. When he was pretty much dying in hospital in LA Ringo visited him. Ringo said I have to go to Florida my daughter is in hospital there. George looked highly concerned and said "Do you want me to go with you?" This is the real George. He cared about the things that mattered. Ringo was so sad because he knew George could not go with him. Delia Morris

So, what makes George Harrison's opinion better than anyone else's???????????????????????????? Dylan? How many actual HITS did Bob Dylan have that many Americans liked? How many actually charted in the top 20? Top 10? ZERO. Other artists did Bob Dylan's significantly songs better than HE DID. So George favors CRAPPY music only when his friends write it. Kinda partisan, isn't it? Smokey Robinson? Who was listening to Smokey Robinson after the 60s? His songs were melodic and catchy but lyrically they left NO impact. He was irrelevant after the sixties and once he left the Miracles - they were too. (Elton John and Rod Stewart's time passed them by as well and we thanks them for their "heydays" and hope they just go away "gracefully") Stevie Wonder? Stevie Wonder had tons of support (everything from leading him to the keyboards to writing songs with a team) - especially from the Motown label. Further, he was a leftist shill with a typical Anti-America black church liberation ideology message. There's no artistic freedom and imagination in that. Excuse me if I don't subscribe to that. If George didn't like "Glam Rock"- FINE. But, bands of EVERY genre wore make-up, long hair, FEM jumpsuits and winged spaceship costumes - not just David Bowie. It was the STYLE of the day for musical groups. That FEM style continued into the 80s with the "Big Hair" bands long after Bowie was wearing (MENS') suits on his album covers. In short, this long time Beatles fan is tired of their outspoken opinions - as well as those stupid comments by other musicians. (Bruuuuce, Todd Runtgren) We should remember that musicians - like your average Hollyweird star - lives in tier own limited clan destined drugged-up perverted world and knows little of what's outside of it. They ARE NOT the most "educated" people or most informed people in the world. ("Bruce" and "Bon Jovi" "Runtgren" please understand you are really just dumbasses). Knowing how to play a guitar or any musical instrument for that matter - doesn't make you "smart". So, this longtime Beatles fan wished that George Harrison and John Lennon would've just 'SHUT-UP more often, concentrated for writing more songs and confined their unnecessary commentary to their lyrics.

@@user-gn9vu7wn7t I'd say that George needs to look a little harder to find quality music today, because it's definitely out there. Some people are simply content to soak up whatever is presented to them without putting in even a smidge of effort to FIND something of quality in virtually a sea of choices, and then delude themselves into thinking they have a firm grasp on the entire musical landscape. There has been soulless, crap music in existence ever since there's been music. If you could point out the era when this wasn't true, I'd love to hear about it.

Bowie did a cover of a George Harrison song after Harrison’s passing. I’ve noticed that a lot of English artists have rifts with other English artists and then later become mates and/or work with them. Harrison said Elton was a great rock and roll pianist and had him play on his successful comeback album Cloud Nine, which was produced by ELO’s Jeff Lynn, who Harrison had ruthlessly mocked for copying the Beatles. Harrison mostly listened to American R n B artists in the 1970’s.

But to discount the entire catalog of David Bowie over some fashion preferences shows his lack of understanding of what Bowie did for rock music. Harrison has some amazing work with the Beatles, Badfinger, Cream, and the Wilburys for sure. And his fusion with Indian music was groundbreaking and changed rock history. But Bowie truly eclipsed him as a solo artist and produced more consistently original and diverse work than Harrison ever did, Elton John as well. So in my opinion it was nonsense for him to discount their contribution to an exciting path in rock music that he himself helped to originate.

George was right. He came from Liverpool and people there don't mince their words. I'd say his observations about Elton John and Rod Stewart were bang on and I'd say that Bowie, who really got things together in his later career, in his earlier was dilettante and eclectic. George was never a showman or an entertainer and I don't really think he understood that side of the business. If he did he made no attempt to join it.

"... probably liked his early work..."(referring to El John's). This could be said for Harrison's music as well. A good portion of the time with the Beatles his work was new and fresh and his first solo album, "All Things Must Pass" is legendary. But anything other than that was distinctly subpar (certainly in comparison to Elton John's extensive catalog of great music combined with BT's great lyrics). Harrison's work after his first solo album was, well, dismal, and the work he did with the "Traveling Wheelborrows" was just embarrassing. He admitted many times that he did not practice his guitar for years on end. Compare that to Jeff Beck, who had a guitar in every room so that whenever he sat down he could play and practice. Though trying for many years to look like the person who was just "doing his thing" and above the petty fray, Harrison was actually more like Lennon, in the sense that he always carried a chip on his shoulder and never missed a chance to diss other performers.

George Harrison was my favorite Beatle. He was very spiritual in his chosen India style and adding India style instruments. I enjoyed him most when he was one of the traveling willburys. This was a blessing to sing with Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynn. And very creative using fictional first names and using Willbury as the last name.

While agreeing with his assessment of those three, (I can't really stand them either) I'd have to say his music got boring after the album All Things Must Pass, though, like Lennon, he did manage a catchy tune from time to time after. McCartney was the most consistently palatable producer of the four but was played out after his Wings days.
