When I Say George Harrison Is Not Appreciated Enough I Mean It In The Sense Of His Massive Impact On

I got my copy of I Me Mine to check if George wrote "but it's all over now, baby blue" in the handwritten lyrics for When We Was Fab or that was added later on studio. and THIS was how i found out that he actually had written "but it's alright ma, it's life only" in the handwritten lyrics. He took away a bob dylan reference to put another bob dylan reference. Fangirl behavior

thinking about how one of the first big moves george makes post-breakup is to run away to new york to record the dylan sessions

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)

From George’s handwritten lyrics to the Harrisong “All Things Must Pass.”

Q: “You once remarked that you were trying to write a Robbie Robertson kind of song with ‘All Things Must Pass.’” George Harrison: “‘The Weight’ was the one I admired, it had a religious and a country feeling to it, and I wanted that. You absorb, then you interpret, and it comes out nothing like the thing you’re imagining, but it gives you a starting point.” - Musician, November 1987

Q: “Where did the phrase ‘All Things Must Pass’ come from?” George Harrison: “I think I got it from Richard Alpert/Baba Ram Dass, but I’m not sure. When you read of philosophy or spiritual things, it’s a pretty widely used phrase. I wrote it after [the Band’s 1968] ‘Music From Big Pink’ album; when I heard that song in my head I always heard Levon Helm singing it!” - Billboard, 8 January 2001

“‘All Things Must Pass’ just shows the nature of the physical world. Everything is changing all the time. We get born and we die. But we are in this body, and we go through from birth to death. We stay the same — the soul is the same, but the body is changing. It’s the nature of… it’s called duality, and it just keeps changing. But everything passes except the essence of that, which is our soul.” - George Harrison, French TV interview, 26 August 1997 (x)
