  • From French-Canadian TV. Rare clip of George Harrison at The Montreal Grand-Prix, June 2000. Trying to escape the journalist at first, he ended giving a few insights about his musical taste of the moment and his passion for Formula 1 Racing.

    He had his guard up with the first answer he gave but he genuinely gave in. Kudos to the reporter for not asking “are the Beatles getting back together?” , I’m not a Beatle and i would’ve asked her to shut her trap. Wished i could’ve met him and thank him for the music, that killer solo on “All my loving” and for being a major influence on massive charitable gigs. Guess it’s better late than never, thank you George for your contribution to music and to the world. In 8 short years you managed to bring the kind of joy that’ll last forever. You were more than just a Beatle, you were a kind and humble human being. Thank you George, wherever you are.

Energy can't be destroyed, only transformed..so George had absolute faith that there was another chapter beyond the veil of physical death. If this universe was created, there had to be a designer...god, Jesus & the holy spirit truly does exist. 😊💝💗💓👍👍

    Such a sweet soul; against all of his principals, while very-likely not feeling physically at-all well , the gentle genius still paused & spent several from his great life's remaining minutes to accommodate the intruding interviewers. Bless him he was not well here but mostly was not over the traumatic home invasion & attack from just a year or less earlier.
    I truly doubt that the "barnacle bill" response to the ,"..what are you listening to.." question was a fabrication; he probably really was listening to Hogie Carmichael whilst being driven to this engagement.
    Thanks for the Pepperoni. There's never gonna be another Scouser like Georgie again.
