George almost most makes me feel ashamed of loving him and the Beatles. I understand theyve been through a lot. Rest in peace my sweet George! gardener, musician and humanitarian. ✌🍏🌻🌷⚘
I think George enjoyed making songs but just never wanted the fame that came with it.I do not blame him for shunning away from it.I would hate to be famous.
Nodrodsky they weren’t just famous...they were the most famous..big difference....no one wants to be the most famous, constantly harassed and media everywhere
@@DoperThenMost I agree.Michael Jackson is to me the best example.He was a performer since he was 5.Did that his whole life.He could not go anywhere.He did not have a good life at all.I think George handled it very well.
They're still the most famous people in the world...any adult human being knows who the Beatles are....so yes, being that famous wasn't a comfortable thing...
First saw this at the Los Angeles Beatlefest. I don't think George really wanted to be one of the four most famous guys in the world. I badly miss him today. His messages an music will live forever.
Yes, it was such a synchronicity of a thing that Paul George and John met one another. I guess Paul was in the center of the story....He met John and introduced George , his old mate, to John and all in a place called Liverpool.....IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN A LONG TIME!!
He is a tool. He's a sycophantic Yoko hack. He kissed up to her the whole time he was writing his book on John Lennon, The Life, uncritically printing every LIE she told him about how she didn't know who John was but when she met him HE fell instantly in love with her, and how he chased her, and was always the one pursuing her even in their marriage and through his affair with May Pang! He makes May Pang look like John's secretary. BUT this Philip Norman got a shocker at the end, because, after he dutifully printed every word Yoko suggested, she didn't even endorse his book, because he hadn't kissed her ass ENOUGH.
I am honestly disgusted the way he spoke about Ringo, especially since this was a time Ringo was struggling with alcohol abuse and was not in a great place mentally. The way he just wrote him off as if he didn't matter was just awful. And I am 100% certain George would have never let what he said fly if he had heard what that man said.
I was thinking the same. This guy acts like he was there, he knows how everyone felt and all their thoughts and motives. lol I mean really "George was the underdog", wow this guys has no clue. just making up scenarios
Yes Nathan, people like you and I with eyes to see, ears to hear know exactly what that big change was. RIP Paul, Phillip Norman saying Paul rewrites history, “masterful speaking”
That was actually the preferred method in those days, you wouldn't get all in your head thinking ab it before you take it and it would happen most naturally and grand in nature sir
Harrison should have been upset at Lennon the most for calling him 'that kid' but Stockholm syndrome sent him returning as a session man for Lennon and taking it out on McCartney instead.
They fell out after John pulled out of the Concert For Bangladesh and barely spoke after...George didn't play on any of his records after Imagine and further insulted John by barely mentioning him in his I Me Mine book.
"Paul rewrites history all the time" and "Ringo doesn't know, he just drank the drinks, he smoke the joints, he had the girls and he drummed the drums" hahahahahhaaha that's the most ridiculous bullshit ever. Philip Norman, go home, you're drunk.
Philip Norman is a shameless Yoko hack. He disses Paul and Ringo because they're the ones who appreciate having been Beatles. Only John at Yoko's urging, and George, take their lucky break and break them in two. Paul doesn't "rewrite history". Philip Norman does. And he wasn't even THERE.
Philip Norman is correct about McCartney, though ("he re-writes history, all the time"). Check any interview or concert program after John Lennon's assassination, including the July 6 Esquire's "Paul McCartney Opens up about Lennon, Yoko, More," where I quoted Norman. McCartney has an obsessive, unhealthy need to get John Lennon's name off the copyright of "Yesterday," yet ignores how his own name is on about half The Beatles' songs written by John Lennon alone, especially from 1963-66. McCartney's comments have ranged from the more-hip-than-them "see, um, like I was the actual weird one all along, really" type to claiming more credit on songs, such as "Eleanor Rigby." Biographers and others have long since revealed in that particular case that Paul came with part of one verse and part of the melody. John wrote at least half the lyrics (he said 60%). George Harrison wrote "three lines," as he says in the above interview, including the chilling "Ah, look at all the lonely people, where do they all come from." Ringo contributed the piece about "darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there." Even John's lifetime friend Pete Shotton contributed. At concerts or in interviews, no one will hear about this, will they.
We can't imagine what their life was like. I rewrite my history and I am a lowly corporate controller, so I can even imagine trying to recall life as a Beatle.
Carter M chill out ..Norman is a complete cock.....what the fuck has he ever done? just a jealous fuck...I'm a Lennon and harrison fan in particular but there is no such thing as one truth. Macca is not a pathological liar..it's just his version. I think he's pretty respctful towards lennon
Philip Norman rewrites history. And he wasn't even THERE. Got most of his "information" from Yoko. He wrote a book on John Lennon YEARS after he died, relying on HER stories alone. She never liked Paul, was always jealous of him. Ironically, Yoko ended up not endorsing his book because even though he dutifully printed every word she told him, he had the audacity to also get some other interviews, and she felt he wasn't very nice to John. Philip Norman is a Yoko hack.
I don't think Ringo doesn't know, it's just that Ringo would never get into arguing about anything. But I absolutely agree that Paul re-writes history. You just take for example what he did to the movie "The Compleat Beatles" in order to promote his "The Beatles Anthology".
@@ScarletVoodoo He drew all attention to Anthology and by doing so brought "The Compleat Beatles" almost into oblivion. But "The Compleat" has its own flare.
Same with Philip Norman's book. Seems he mainly interviewed Yoko and unquestioningly puts forth her point of view on everything ... including as it appears here, her jealousy of Paul McCartney.
God that biographer fucking nailed it. I don't trust Paul McCartney as far as I can throw him. And Ringo is not a strong witness to say the least. But George that man would bear his soul.
If George didn't want to talk about the Beatles anymore he should have just retired because that's all he ever was ,a beatle ,he never would have gotten arrested as a solo artist
@@ag358 he knows nothing about George Harrison... George's solo career was better than any other ex Beatle...All things must pass is the glaring example...his music is more interesting, more meaningful and timeless...
I Love The Beatles but I feel maybe he doesn't appreciate what they did. He has no financial worries for him or his family forever and most bands would have give their right arm to be in that position. He plays it like it was a curse and so why didn't he quit ?
It’s funny how George Loathes fame yet his fame is the only thing that got people to listen to his words so religiously. Maybe he fears his own messages
George was a great humanitarian and a wonderful human being. I miss him enormously.
People who envy fame and fortune or strive for it specifically really should listen to the messages that George shares about his priorities.

Nobody today listens to anybody’s advice about anything. They’re just going to have to learn the hard way. The school of hard knocks!
That's right, my advice to anybody is you want fame, there's a price to pay.
I LOVE George Harrison,the musician and the person!
I miss George so much..
George almost most makes me feel ashamed of loving him and the Beatles. I understand theyve been through a lot. Rest in peace my sweet George! gardener, musician and humanitarian. ✌🍏🌻🌷⚘
I love this guy George Harrison’s always have still,do. God bless
Fame, notoriety, celebrity - whatever you want to call it - carries a high price. It’s a double-edged sword.
2:17 that's my man, the one and only beautiful George Harrison ❤️

Great interview by Selina Scott!
beautiful boy
For some artists making art is just art.and for some is art and passion combined and not fame.is part of them to do what they do best.is normal.
this girl......below says Ringo drinks etc and HE DOESNT!!!!!!! HES IN AA AND SOBER AND HAPPPY! HE CAME OUT THE BEST OF THE LADS s!!!!!!!!
I love when this guy says Paul rewrites history.
"Ringo doesn't know" Oh but this guy does? Gimme a break this guy's a hack.
Same observation.

And he went on to explain that he and John took LSD you fucking nob.

its amazing what some well combed hair can do

@rodneyracoon I think Philip Norman is full of it as well But I believe Micheal Palin.

Pete Shotton said that Lennon's claims on Eleanor Rigby was b.s. Just hearing Norman's condescending tone tells me that the guy is obviously biased.

@@turquisestones I hadn't even heard of it, so I guess Paul succeeded. I will check it out.
He was wrong about LSD. Most don't need it only once. Maybe once every thirty years.
This interview was 1987, so it was only 20-odd years later 😉
MORE THAN A BILLION?!?!
She was one of the most beautiful women..
But sadly, an odious BBC libtard.
George couldn't stop complaining, it must have been a terrible existence for him.
Couldn't care less about Lennon and Macartney, they both never respected George.
The Beatles 'thing' was a soul thing! People make it a spiritual thing and it therefore becomes a curse, to them and to the Beatles. Who are you?
What a jerk FrightWolf is. LOL. We need a listing of FrightWolf's grand accomplishments so we can tear them apart. :)
I was completely disappointed in Scorceses documentary. He didnt capture George, in my opinion. And there was way way too much Yoko.
Same with Philip Norman's book. Seems he mainly interviewed Yoko and unquestioningly puts forth her point of view on everything ... including as it appears here, her jealousy of Paul McCartney.

I could name all his solo accomplishments but you wouldn't understand . Btw George had the last no. 1 hit of all the Beatles solo music.

selina what a babe
Phillip Norman is, by no means, “the” Beatle authority. He seems to be more a psychological babbler.
She's really hot!
philip norman, who are you??? lol so wrong.
He's one of Yoko Ono's lapdogs.
Interviewing vampires
i hate douchbag socalled writers imposing their thoughts on what they have NO fucking idea about how the guys felt . . . hey asshole , FUCK OFF !!!!!
