George Harrison and Bob Dylan, Concert for Bangladesh, 1 August 1971; photo by Bill Ray (?).
Q: “One of the coups of [the Concert for] Bangladesh was Dylan’s appearance, because he had done so little since his motorcycle accident in 1966. Was he initially reluctant to do Bangladesh?”
George Harrison: “He was. He never committed himself, right up until the moment he came onstage. On the night before Bangladesh, we sat in Madison Square Garden as the people were setting up the bandstand. He looked around the place and said to me, ‘Hey, man, you know, this isn’t my scene.’ I’d had so many months… it seemed like a long time of trying to get it all together, and my head was reeling with all the problems and never. I’d gotten so fed up with him not being committed, I said, ‘Look, it’s not my scene, either. At least you’ve played on your own in front of a crowd before. I’ve never done that.’ So he turned up the next morning, which looked positive. I had a list, a sort of running order, that I had glued on my guitar. When I got to the point where Bob was going to come on, I had Bob with a question mark. I looked over my shoulder to see if he was around, because if he wasn’t, I would have to go on to do the next bit. And I looked around, and he was so nervous — he had his guitar and his shades — he was sort of coming on, coming [pumps his arms and shoulders]. So I just said, ‘My old friend, Bob Dylan!’ It was only at that moment that I knew for sure he was going to do it. After the second show, he picked me up and hugged me and said, ‘God! If only we’d done three shows.’” - Rolling Stone, 5 November 1987 (x)

hello my dear ! i hope it’s okay that i used lennison for this ! i couldn’t resist !!! <3
“George,” John whines from the couch.
George can only roll his eyes, this is the fourth time in the past five minutes that John has called out for his boyfriend.
He knows exactly what John wants.
“Geo—“ John starts but is immediately interrupted by George.
“John—Please be quiet for just one moment,” he takes a deep breath, “I’m trying to focus on something.”
“Writing songs can wait, George. I can’t believe you would let the love of your life sit over here and waste away without so much as a kiss or a hug?” John asks incredulously.
George picks his head up from his guitar, “You are far from attention deprived, John. And even if you were, I think you would survive.”
John lets out another whine, “But George,” he pauses for a moment to attract his lover’s eye contact, “I could just drop dead right now and you’d just have to live with the fact that you wouldn’t give me any affection.”
George sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, “You are insufferable,” he states plainly as he sets his guitar down and closes his notebook.
John grins as George’s figure appears in view, “Well hello there handsome,” John purrs as George settles beside him.
George rolls his eyes once again as John climbs into his lap and places his arms around George’s neck.
“Oh don’t act so unamused,” John teases, “I know you are just as needy as I am.”
George fights the urge to roll his eyes for a third time as his hands settle at John’s waist, “Y’know, John, I love you. I really do, but sometimes I’d like to just shut that pretty little mouth of yours.”
John lets out a gasp of (fake) surprise, “You love me? I had no idea!”
This time George does roll his eyes for a third time before pulling John forward to press a kiss to his lips.
“I like you better when you shut your mouth,” George whispers as they pull away.
John’s smugness can be seen from a mile away, “I always knew you did.”
