George always had a special resiliency about him in the face of death. Astrd Kirchherr has talked about how, in the wake of Stuart Sutcliffe's death, John was a wreck, and it was George who stepped up to be the support he needed... though she also talked about John helping her get through the trauma of Stuart's loss -- I suppose it says a lot about John that he was able to be strong for others at the same time he was unable to be strong for himself.
Its hard not to notice that George was a reincarnation of an Indian guru, he was attracted back to what he remembered and became a Hare Krishna devotee totally and he is a Pisces and very naturally mystical, spiritual and creative. Yes he knows there is reincarnation and talking about picking up the cosmic telephone lol i use that same phrase too.
We were robbed of a Beatles reunion in the 80s. Whether it would’ve been just one concert such as Live Aid or a couple singles or even an album, they never got the chance bc John’s life was cut short.
It definitely would have happened. Hell I think an album or two would have happened as well, but that god damn maniac robbed a legend of his life, and robbed us all of what could have been.
Paul was friends again with John. They were tight, not like the old days but tight. He always loved Ringo. It's a shame he and John finished on a bad note because of the book. I think John was someone he admired more than anyone else and I imagine not being on close terms when it happened must have caused him a lot of anguish.
@@paulhallatt4313 i usually represent the point of view you share here but the bandmates lennon ended up with were best ones he could have had although he only periodically realized it and anyone thinking "hello goodbye" and "she's leaving home" were unworthy of recording has a screw loose even if his name was john lennon, my favorite beatle.
I listened to a terrific interview of Pete Best, about the early Beatle days 1960-62. He had a story when John & George got into a food throwing war, beginning with tomatoes George threw to John's plate, and ending up John pouring all the stuff from his plate into George's head. Later, one can see the same kind of childish fun between them two.
I think either he was really affected and was giving all this philosophy jive to avoid getting emotional or he became really distant with him or George really had transcended into a different consciousness
These are working class guys from Liverpool... Being emotionally available / emotionally intelligent wasn't really their "thing". They had a LOT of other gifts. But this is a very specific kind of English emotional uh..."stuntedness"? If you watch John's aunt Mimi talking about John after his death, you'll see the same thing. People from England, from the North in particular, process death in this way (i.e., they don't lol)
@@L_Martin Uhm no, I’m northern and you’re wrong lmao - George was heavily deep into eastern philosophies and not to mourn after death because life goes on. people take in death that’s absurd, ringo said he was balling his eyes out and misses him every day. Northern people know how to joke and accept life for what it is but this isn’t an emotional stuntedness, compared to most southern places northern people are a lot nicer and welcoming.
@@Azoria4 I'm Northern too lol I guess we just disagree on this. I'm talking about THEIR generation. I think someone like George suits that philosophy because it actually meshes rather well with how people were made to just get on with life and the "stiff upper lip". It's the opposite to centering emotional intelligence, or what we'd consider a sort of emotionality or talk therapy type approach to things that's in vogue in the West nowadays. The Beatles certainly WERE emotional, but in how someone like George is processing death, the death of someone who was this massive figure in his life, as in this clip, you can see the trait of a Northern man of his generation - it's not emotional intelligence, it's rather shut down and closed off. Using a religion to arrive at that shut down place is really not too different to the religions we have (had) in England in our society to get the same effect.
@@L_Martin yeah I see your point but I personally think rather than it being a location thing it’s a generational trait - they were wartime babies and raised in the 50’s so this stiff upper lip attitude I think was prominent all over England and the west during the time of their upbringing, I don’t necessarily think it’s a northern thing specifically. During a time where children were whacked in school and men weren’t allowed to be emotional otherwise they’d be seen as queers. Also you gotta think that George is on a public platform on television so probably has his guard up quite high especially as he didn’t like the limelight and was suspicious of the media, so i doubt he would open up emotionally in such a setting.
0:18 Life's insane, here George is reminiscing about John's death and how he felt about it, meanwhile George has no idea that he himself only had 11 years left to live...sad world
“I’m sad by you know that I can’t go and play guitars with John. But then I did that anyways. I did that for a long time.” I love that ending. “Don’t be sad that they’re gone, but be grateful that they were there” in a sense is what he’s saying. He is more grateful for the fact that John was part of his life over missing working with him in future years.
He's also making a larger general point, which is that he doesn't believe John is gone, just in a different plane of existence. George was very much a spiritualist, and he was sad that John's earthly body had passed but didn't grieve him since he didn't believe him truly "gone".
John was loving the B-52's and Lena Lovich in the early 1980's - that prompted him to return to music. He missed the excitement of music and New Wave tickled him. The last song he recorded on, Yoko's "Walking on Thin Ice" foreshadowed a new direction he would have been taking on some tracks (He stated this in a radio interview just before he died). Sadly, time ran out. That surely would have been some cool stuff.
George was still bitter. He never mentioned John on his I ME MINE book. He mentioned his cats, dogs, Paul, Ringo and Auntie Mimi but not John. So he really hates John
I think you're just as stupid as John and haven't read the book. By the way, George didn't mention how many times he helped John with his songs, and John wanted worship for helping with one line, and he did it dismissively.
George Harrison was not taken seriously by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and was usually ignored. He rarely managed to get his songs put on the albums and always was the odd one out. I'm surprised he stayed along as he did. I do believe he though of John Lennon as a friend, though, and was truly sad when he died. George Harrison was a really strong person and just because he wasn't crying or showing any sinds of heartbreak during this interview it doesn't mean he was being cold. Especially in his day men were expected to not show emotion when sad.
I don't think so. I have the feeling he is more like spiritually enlightened, he is at peace with the idea of death and he really "understands" that he and John will have a meet once more. I think it's beautiful, actually, his outlook & philosphy.
I'm so sad about both John and George being gone especially too soon, but George seemed for me to had enough being questioned how he felt about John... You can very easily imagine how many times any of John friends and family being asked, and as for George he's not cold on the contrary I'd see him crying between Olivia's arms... It's a tragedy for most of us what if were as this close to John I mean they were playing together since 1958! And if he was cold blooded he wouldn't accept John passing away this simple. You just don't have to see George or Paul crying on TV to believe how deeply they were effected

I've always found George to be the most reflective and interesting Beatle.
He was the glue holding the group together. Once he decided he wanted to do his own thing, the band fell apart
He's my favorite Beatle
@@coolkg12345 Paul was the glue
They called him the philosopher of the beatles, John was the flippant one liner qips, Paul the serious one and Ringo the quiet one in the background 👌
Strongly disagree. It was John that invented then, kept them together and decided when he wanted a 'divorce;.
We will meet again somewhere down the line ❤❤❤
They did, and I miss them both.
"now you need a big cosmic telephone to speak to him"
George's comment was spot on...
He just meant through prayer or something similar. They didn't really have cellphones in the 80s.
@@sadem1045 you probably don't know what the word "Cosmic" means...do you?
@@marjanp4784 😂😂😂
Rest In Peace John. George is with you now.

Paul was certainly working for it.
@joshblakesley8052 yeah John was becoming close friends with them again, reconnecting with Julien and just overall being a happier dude
George would have accidentally got them back together making a B-Side, the way he made the Wilburys sorta
@@joshblakesley8052 I hate to even think of it. I choke up every time.
You can see the pain George is feeling but you can also tell he wants to be positive about it maybe even hiding the pain to evade vulnerability.
Fear as well, the man would be attacked in his home
Its his true faith in what he is talking about, spirituality some call it. As was once said however, wherever you look you see what your looking for
The Big Cosmic Telephone.
We miss ya George.

@@hyattcohen9247 Thankyou my friend
Paul said the same at the time...
“We’ll meet again, somewhere down the line.” George reunited with John 22 years ago now, now they’re both together and happy in the afterlife❤️
The best, the coolest, the most thoughtful, the most intellectual Beatle. We all miss you, George.
That would be John

I wish I could get clarification of this story. I can actually see it happening. They were the 2 naughty Beatles.
And now
They’re both gone
They're both together again.
Gone but never forgotten
I miss John Lennon
We all meet again some where down the line.
AMEN...
Maybe
@@shrekshronk3469We do but you can leave this world too and not see them after breaking the death cycle, and its true you can.
this is beautiful
George lost two friends and band mates at such early times first John Lennon and then Roy Orbison right when the Wilbuys started
Lost Stu Sutcliffe too....April 1962 (Beatles bassist before Paul took over the instrument).
He lost the Real.Paul McCartney in a 1966 car crash!!!
"He never wore his shoes We all knew he was dead"@@chrisnolan5607

Maybe he was playing Indian music out of respect for George
It would've been so nice of John

Nope. If John was listening to it, it would have been genuine.
I love indian music, instruments like Sitar,Tanpura,Veena,Tabla,Bansuri, Sarangi
Check out the outstanding cover of Walking On Thin Ice by Elvis Costello
Here comes the sun ☀️
"We'll meet again somewhere down the line"
Im sorry but as a big fan of the beatles its so weird that he talks so nonchelant about it. But good for him though
He looks like Bill Wyman
Love George, rip❤
♥️♥️♥️
the universe was very fortunate that these four souls came together to form the Beatles
Y'know SUPREMACY
Nice down to earth guy....r.i.p
...and stunned.

George Harrison (Liverpool, 25 de febrero de 1943-Los Ángeles, 29 de noviembre de 2001).

RIP John. N George.
Shocked...
💓💓✌✌
*The* *Kotas*
George was such a trendsetter - he looked like an aging lesbian way before Paul did.
His scouse accent had reduced by a huge amount from the 60s!
George is 47 here??? My God he looks like hes 60!
Yeah I dont get it its like theyre all really old men after the 70's like the beatles were from the 1920's or 40's era instead of the 60's
Yes. I agree😂
