"I wanted to be successful, not famous" ...... George Harrison

Amen! God Bless.

Well said!

Love George ❤

Mine three. People like George Harrison don't come around very often. Which is why all these years later we are still listening to interview fragments. Remembering what we had and mourning what we lost. My son has gotten into George's career lately. So that gives me an excuse. As Tom Petty said at George's HOF induction, "George was a truly great man."

He was no angel, and yet he WAS. Hare Krishna George. blackcohoshblog.wordpress.com/2019/12/04/the-jewel-in-the-crown/

What a wonderful opportunity. George's spiritual awareness left a seed growing in my heart leading me to Lord Krishna. I am eternally grateful to him.Jai Shree Krishna

​@@sue6776 Just watched a clip from a concert for George ( my sweet Lord ) and I understood why that concert was so wonderful and still is years later. George in the later years talked about and praised the Lord. and God reciprocated.. So God praises those who praise the Lord. Looking at the people playing and in the audience. They got high listening to that song.

prodigalretrod George Harrison possessed a laconic personality. He didn't waste words! Harrison only spoke when he felt he had something to add to a topic of conversation. I view George Harrison as the coolest and most philosophical Beatle and former Beatle. I love George because he spoke the unvarnished truth! R.I.P. GEORGE HARRISON.

@@raulmacias1311 well said👍👍👍

@@marjanp4784 Quote by GEORGE HARRISON ~ "I've been the same all along. I talk when I feel like it and shut up when I don't feel like talking." I could listen to George Harrison speak for hours! You gain insight from George. He was referred to as the "Quiet Beatle" and that just wasn't accurate! Harrison didn't like to waste words. I personally would have referred to John Lennon as the "bloviating" Beatle, because he just couldn't stop talking! He was so irresponsible when he made his infamous and blasphemous comment about Christianity which was one of the reasons he was killed.

@@raulmacias1311 yeah I also believe it... Paul and John didn't let George and Ringo talk much, they were always overshadowed by Paul and John, they didn't even let George's song be included in albums, although George had written so many beautiful songs... which was One of many reasons for their breakup...

@@marjanp4784 When John Lennon imposed Yoko Ono on Paul, George and Ringo, he not only brought her to the sessions, he differed to Yoko to speak for him at Beatles meetings! George Harrison actually quit temporarily because of this on January 10,1969. Quote by DOUG SULPY {From GET BACK ~ THE UNAUTHORIZED CHRONICLE OF THE BEATLES LET IT BE DISASTER} ~ "The years of playing second class Beatle had created a very deep, bitter resentment in George Harrison. The respect he received from fellow musicians such as Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton could not be found within his own band. His new compositions were routinely derogated and rejected by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, even though some were far better than their own. In addition, by January, 1969, George found yet another person ahead of him in the Beatle pecking order, as Yoko Ono involved herself {with John's blessing} in the group's affairs. This would contribute to George's abrupt departure midway through the sessions." Can you believe, at some point in their relationship, John gave Yoko Ono "Power Of Attorney" to handle his affairs! Yoko Ono really did a job on Lennon!

George Harrison was a wonderful man who spoke the truth. I could listen to George for hours! You gain knowledge from his wisdom and honesty. George, you left this planet much too soon and we all love you and miss you dearly! Quote by PAUL MCCARTNEY { THE INNER LIGHT} ~ "George wrote this. Forget the Indian music and listen to the melody. Don't you think it's a beautiful melody? It's really beautiful." The following poem, by Lao~tzu, inspired George Harrison to write "The Inner Light" ~ LAO~TZU ~ One may know the world without going out of doors. One may see the Way of Heaven without looking through the windows. The further one goes the less one knows. Therefore the sage knows without going about, Understands without seeing, And accomplishes without any action.

DID ANYONE EVER THINK THIS QUITE BEETLE COULD BE SO DEEP RESPECTFUL WELL VERSED AND COULD LISTEN TO HIM ALL NIGHT.AND

That part made me sad

Had George stopped in 71 instead of 91’, he might be here today sadly

@@dogpd3 i dont think he cared much, he welcomed and embraced death and put most of his living energy learning about that aspect of existence

@@lucasomar5184 Dahni needed him.

dog... he may have eventually come to some sense of peace and stillness in regard to his death but there is no way he that "didn't care". @@lucasomar5184

What were the circumstances surrounding this interview (very cool by the way)? Was he giving multiple interviews that day in that room?

Did you ever see john

Paul and John's interviews in my opinion were full of ego

​@@carollangley2984 George was a very humble person.

Where does that BS always come from? From another dull head? There are loads of interviews he's having much fun and enjoying. Available in KZfaq. This one is the last morning before the fresh Japan tour will end. BTW the interviewer has nothing special to ask about but just the tour itself.

@@MegaPlexy Take your meds pal, and go back to your basement.

Good post. It appeared George was appreciative of the quality of the interview as well, giving the guy a head nod, and a lean in "thank you." They get so many ridiculous questions. Here the interviewer asked about the things the audience wanted to know and didn't try to ingratiate himself to a former Beatle. Most refreshing.

I believe the true expertise he developed playing slide came after the Beatles. He really got very very good at it!

He was actually. Travelling Wilburys.

George was content to let others stroke their egos.

@@wms72 not at the end of The Beatles. Wah-wah.

George liked playing music with equals. eg.Travelling Wulburys. He said he never wanted to be the leader on stage.... many times .

Well, he did lead the Beatles to stop touring, stop making scripted films and to follow the Maharishi. (Angry comments to follow.)

Everyone loved him!

I enjoyed this interview .. so sorry he's gone

Here comes the Sun...🌞

What a beautiful comment! I feel the exact same way. My youngest of four children just passed away on July 31, 2021. Her name was Elise but I called her Dolly. She was 21 years old & five months pregnant when she died from a drug overdose.💔 On George’s birthday this year, February 25th, I asked him to please find my daughter and her baby in paradise and play While My Guitar Gently Weeps for them. It’s my favorite Beatles/George Harrison song. Rest in love and light Dolly, my sweet little grand baby and George🙏🏼☮️💟

He was in pink Floyd

Agree he was my favorite Beatle from the get-go as well oh, and the best looking in my opinion

​@@carollangley2984 Same for me. Fell madly in love with him in my girlhood in the 1990s. He was in fact, the best looking Beatle.

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

You're most welcome. It was a great pleasure to meet George.

I Totally Agree! God Bless.

Yeah really sad but I got to say god damn for a guy who smoked most of his life he aged really well.

Cigarettes are killers !! Never start smoking them..I have several friends with lung issues, but they are still smokers ! What a waste to lose George Harrison so young and talented !

I saw him on the dark horse tour in Seattle with Ravi.

He did quit smoking but it was too late. The seeds of cancer were already planted although it was years after before it appeared.
