  • .....in a pub with Jonathon Ross and John Peel. George was about to pick up the 'hidden' guitar and play a skiffle number with the band, who had followed Ross into the pub...but silly Ross changes the subject - losing out on a huge scoop opportunity in having George sing live on his show - then the 'band' play a silly tuneless out-tro on toy instruments ...??!!

    ....if you are thinking this is a little strange - I missed the first bit of the show, which had George in the studio having a one minute interview because ' they'd ran out of time''....so they said goodnight and George went to the pub. THEN, the producer says that they'd made a mistake and there was 15 minutes left - so ' go and find George'....so the film crew and Jonathon Ross run down the street after him....! Silly - but fun !

    Glad to hear George Harrison standing up for his friend Bob Dylan when his mate sitting next to him criticized Dylan. He would go on to form the Traveling Wilburys the following year, 1988, which included Dylan, so he meant what he said that some people might not care for him but I think Dylan is brilliant. Harrison had long recognized Dylan as the greatest lyricist of this century.

      George ruled the radio back in the day! There will never be another George! You know he's still making new songs in Heaven! God Bless him,

      George would know. I guess next to George, Madonna doesn't have any talent. She has an OK voice. But, I have to say,
      compared to the singers today Madonna is excellent. Today they all sound the same! Even in Country music,
      All the guys sound alike and all the girls. And on top of it, the songs are horrible. All I listen to is _60's, 70's and _*_B E A T L E S_*_ Yeh!_ 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

    The interviewer talks really fast and it's hard for me to make out what he's saying. Though I can kind of understand, since he ran there and also if I had the chance to talk to George I'd probably be talking at 500 mph out of nerves. I like the contrast it makes with George's way of speaking, though. Always easy and fairly relaxed. He never seems in a particular hurry to say anything and that makes his voice really pleasant to listen to.

      Yes he had some dark times, but not all at once and not quite as quick or as dark as this comment would have it!
      From 'Cloud Nine' to his death covers a period of around 14 years.
      While the financial aspect is what persuaded George to get on board with the 'Anthology' project, he wasn't anywhere near as 'broke' as certain reports would have you believe.
      George COULD have made a few more albums, and COULD have gone on the road a few times as there was nothing stopping him - He just chose not to!

    JOHNATHAN ROSS ~ "But, she is pretty famous."
    GEORGE HARRISON ~ "I suppose she is, yeah."
    But you know, she didn't have much of a sense of humor which wasn't much fun really because it [Shanghai Surprise] was a comedy film."
    I could listen to the late George Harrison for hours because he spoke the unvarnished truth.

    I would think with good reason that George won't remember too much detail about being a Beatle It was quite some time ago, he was rushed from one room to the next. He wouldn't know if he was famous unless somebody told him back then (hysteria) it's a good thing he became a legend.

      ...I wondered which pub in London it was - maybe there's a plaque on the wall there now ! This interviewer missed out on having George playing the guitar and singing on his show, because when the guitar is revealed George says maybe we can do a skiffle number - then the interviewer changes the subject. The moron is best known for upsetting old Manuel / Andrew Sachs, after discovering that Russell Brand who he was interviewing used to be a boyfriend of Andrew's grandaughter, he decided to phone him to tell him and leave an obscene message on his answerphone.
