I love this it looks like you've just walked in on him telling telling art garfunkel how to cast wizard spells and art is so enraptured and george is speaking so intimately and so close but then you set off george's wizard senses and he hones in on you from across the room watching him whisper sweet alchemical nothings in art garfunkel's ear and he vaporizes you on the spot by invoking the power of the crystal ball he trapped tom petty in 1000 times (also a wizard.)

“I’d Have You Anytime” by George Harrison and Bob Dylan

"I think a good song or a good film or a good book, they don't work because they're making you feel the pain of the characters, they work because they're tricking you into feeling your own. Somehow when you relate to a character in a song or a book or a film, and that character's suddenly having a hard time or something horrible is happening to them or they die, it's pulling emotion out of you that's really just you allowing yourself to feel your own pain. There's something about that I just think is really powerful and amazing. " – Chris Cornell

In July [1971], the music press gave reports of the many people George was assembling for the concert. It was rumoured that his friend Dylan might even turn up, but Terry [Doran] told me George was having slight problems with Bob. Dylan had not performed for quite a while. Now George was asking him to make his 'comeback' in the hardest of all performing situations: at Madison Square Gardens with a bunch of musicians he had never played with before. One day during rehearsals, Dylan apparently got uptight and said he just couldn't do it; he was too nervous. George went wild: "You're nervous! What, are you crazy? I've never performed without the other three. At least you're used to performing on your own!" Dylan then explained that the concert was becoming a hassle. Again, George went wild. "I'm the one trying to put it together. All you have to do is sing!" Dylan walked out of the rehearsals. (He was not seen again by George, or anyone else, until the night of the concert. George didn't know if he was coming or not. So when the time allotted for Dylan came in the concert, live and on stage, George looked into the stage wings. There was Dylan, ready to come on. George still didn't know he was going to perform until Dylan started to stroll on stage. Dylan was a major hit, possibly the limelight of the show. It did Dylan good, too. He had regained his confidence and returned to the road for a tour shortly after the concert.)
