| When George passed in November 2001, I was devestated. George Harrison, known fondly by fans as the quiet Beatle, was an old soul. The beauty and grace of his ( sometimes odd ) music is going to move generations to come. And as long as we never forget him, he will live on. I remember I turned the tv on that cold November morning and saw VH1 replaying George footage I knew the cancer took over and he was gone. I knew he had the cancer but I said to myself every day as I looked up at the Beatles poster on my closet door "Hang in there Georgie boy, i'm not ready for you to leave yet" When I went to school that morning I told my teacher the news and he said "My god half of the Beatles are gone..." But I don't think that they are gone, even though I totally missed the John Lennon era, he is still a big part of my life. They are living on becuase fans like me make them live on. George is an immortal soul, he will continue on forever as long as we let him. I went to a Paul McCartney concert and he told a wonderful story about George's Ukelele obsession and If you went to his home he'd crack them out and play for entertainment, then Paul himself cracked one out. He held it high above his head and said "GEORGE GAVE ME THIS! SO THIS IS FOR HIM!" Every one cheered, tears welled up in my eyes. But I was about to cry even more becuase Paul played "Something" on the Ukelele and it was very touching. I was a bubbering idiot. George has always been my favorite Beatle. He forever will be, and I am going to pass his music on to my future children along with the rest of the Beatles. But he has really influenced my life Because after he passed I realized that we all die, we dopn't live forever. After we are burried and gone, the world will keep on spinning. I had this acceptance after I had a dream about a week later that George and I were having bruch in a white cafe and he todl me so and explained his philosophies in life. Did he really visit me? Was it really him? I'll never know for sure. But I felt so weird the next day, I have heard the dead can visit you in your dreams, why my grandfather has visited my mother and I! But I feel I got my chance to meet Harrison in spiritual form and he's with me wherever I go. Ok you are probably thinking I'm a bit nutty, But I was a teenager who was loosing her grip and then this happened. He changed my life. Ok I am going to stop my rambling. So this page is in dedication to him, and his legacy, and his family. Much love to Olivia (his wife) and Dhani (his son) and thier loss. I wanted to create a site about what George has done for me personally instead of creating another George discography like many others have. I hope you enjoyed my experiences and thoughts on George. May he foerver live on~~~Cheers |
