1. strange but somehow I remember that day. I was in college at the time and

trying to get a paper done that was due that day. I even recall the living room with the big table and papers all around. My room mate at the time told me. Just that image pops into my mind right now.

Big fan of George, too. I still have my I Love George button.

4. Happy Birthday dear soul.

What Is Life is one of my all time favorites. I will be thinking of his free and restless today.

5. I was thinking of George this morning

Hard to believe the youngest Beatle would have turned 80 today. I always remember the Beatle’s birthdays from my little 13 year old self Beatlemaniac days.

So glad that I got to see them in concert.

6. George Harrisons' last stand. John Fugelsang interviews him on VH1.



Needless to say, it's excellent.

11. All of his Eastern religion, chakra this and chakra that, and 'find your center'

didn't stop him from being a heavy smoker. No amount of yoga and mantra-chanting can negate the horrible effects of smoking.

It breaks my heart that people still insist on smoking. The days of "Four out of five doctors recommend Camel cigarettes!" are OVER! Please stop smoking!

I liked George Harrison so much. His status as the 'quiet Beatle' minimizes his incredible contributions to the group.

21. I especially love The Traveling Wilburys.

IIRC, it was formed by Harrison and Jeff Lynn (ELO) with Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison. Too bad Orbison died shortly after the group formed.

23. "Handle With Care" is one of my all time favorite songs.

Harrison, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison (God, that SOARING tenor!) absolutely crushed it!

25. Orbison is probably

my favorite male artist. Incredible voice. He died way too young.

The radio was playing "Here Comes the Sun." It was hard to listen to.

22. It was like a double blow to us in NYC while we grieved over 9-11, then adding this so soon after...

I think I went down Strawberry Fields in Central Park that night (along with many other fans).
