| George, a wonderful musician, singer, and a person. He ended his life in this world, at an early age of 57 during a brave fight against brain cancer. I know that i might sound stupid and over sentimental to myself and maybe others but i don't care. I honestly don't. As i write this i realize how fake and untrue some tributes are. Right now i was about to say how you made a difference in my life and that you were a great and wonderful person. But then, i realized that not only i haven't ever met you or talked to you, i also never knew you. All i know about you is from newspapers, books, magazines, and other people talking. But you cannot trust a newspaper to tell the truth! People lie and scandalize. So i never got to know the real you. Never got to talk to you. But what i got to do, was to listen to you work. Appreciate you music. And from what i heard, i can say with no doubt that you were great at that. I've also read some interviews, and i know that stupid reporters have the gift of turning everithing wrong side up and right side down. They can squeeze the truth out of an interview, leaving only rumours in it. Well, in other words, they screw it up. But again, from what I read, you seem like a funny and nice person to me. Well, basically i don't really know the real you. So one might say you were a stranger. But when a stranger dies, one does not feel sad and empty. And i did. When i heard about your death, i felt like a part of me died. And something did die inside me that day. Although, again, i did not know you in person, i still respected you greatly for all your accomplishments. I looked up to you. You were a hero to me. And your great songs like "Something" and "While my guitar gently weeps" really did make a difference in my life. The music is unforgetable. You inspired me. When i found out that you started to play guitar at 14 and learned quickly that encouraged me to learn too. And right now, right here i just want to thank you, George. Thank you for being a part of my life. Thanks for being there when i needed someone to look up to and inspire me. Thank you. I hope you're in a better place right now and God bless you. |
