George never understood how important his voice, music, - indeed, his presence - was to those of us who got him. Sure I loved the Beatles. Yes John Lennon. But he was the secret. He was that harmony between Paul's incredible range and John's powerful voice. He was always 'the man' to me. I play guitar, and have a small reputation as an aggressive hard rock/punk guy. But George was always my hero. He's been gone (it'll be) 22 years this coming November. That's how long my heart's been broken by his passing. I hope he's still hangin 'round when I get there.

Another lousy birthday, but worse, it was announced on early morning TV news that George Harrison died. I went into a BR stall and cried. Big tough guy who was drafted and did a tour as a Army Ranger (LRRP). So, I said, screw my trip and fly off to visit my favorite person on earth. Not my loving wife of 30 years or my mom of 50 years, who had her hands full with me growing up, but to see my grandmother. She lit up like a harvest moon seeing me. It was a perfect idea, and sadly not many more to come. She died shortly thereafter at 100. George always had a special place in my heart too. I think of that day often.

one of my favorite performances of all time; I remember seeing this on the original SNL broadcast; 2 of the best harmony singers ever, they sound great together; I love how they obviously respect each other’s song; I love the way Paul’s unique fingerpicking compliments Here Comes The Sun & George’s classy reminder to all that he was The Beatles lead guitarist there at the end of Homeward Bound

It was the summer of 1970 when this song came out in the States. I was living in Berkeley CA, better known as Beserk-ly back then. We would gather on our flat rooftop four stories up with a killer view of San Francisco beyond and crank out Here Comes The Sun. Ah, thank you George for your genius. Peace on the world, please.

Don't look at "Thumbs Down". Look at the percentage thumbs up to thumbs down. Here...let me calculate it for you since I graduated high school... 0.0089% of total viewers gave this a thumbs down. That is...fewer than 1 in 100 gave this a thumbs down. That's like 15 thumbs down for every 1500 thumbs up (which ain't too shabby). (Keep in mind how many morons voted for Hillary in the 2016 primary knowing that would give all of us Trump!) And never forget that Intelligence is a bell-shaped curve with 100 as the mean ....AND you have NO IDEA how STUPID a 100 IQ is. Ahem...i.e. not needing state assistance but NOT VERY GODDAMN BRIGHT!! That is to say - they are "More to be pitied than scorned." AND...we are doomed.
