Just thinking about Eric Idle saying Paul hugged him during the Concert for George again!

Yahoo Entertainment: Tell me about the iconic Monty Python performance at the “Concert for George” all-star tribute at Royal Albert Hall in 2002.

Eric Idle: Olivia asked me if Python would come on. … She said, “Everybody's doing a George song. Would you do ‘Piggies’?” And I said, “We don't really do songs. We're not a singing group. You know, we do idiotic and rude things! So, why don't we sing ‘Sit on My Face and Tell Me That You Love Me’?” And she let us do it, so we did it! And I thought, “He would've been so happy that we did this. This would've made him so proud.” We insisted on doing something rude, and it lightened the mood. Laughter is close to tears, and if you can laugh at those times, it's really helpful. Because the rest of it was kind of very sad — like that the end with Joe Brown singing “I'll See You in My Dreams” with the petals falling, which is the most moving thing I think I've ever been part of. I'd have to go and cry a bit. And then Paul was great; he said, “Come here, you need a hug.” Every time he'd find me crying somewhere at the back, it was: “You need a hug. And it was very lovely, very nice. X

On April 14, 2009, George received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Photos by (?) Mark Ralston, Jim Ruymen.

“[George] was the most remarkable person. He had the most wonderful sense of humor, and the most wonderful thing that makes me so proud is that he leaves to extraordinary people: his wonderful widow, Olivia, his dark sweet lady and the love of his life; and his son, Dhani, whom he was inordinately proud of and would be even more proud of. The only words I can think of for George is, it’s all down to what you value.” - Eric Idle, speech at the event “We all have deep feelings for George because he was such a deep-feeling person. If you met him you couldn’t help but be drawn into his world, and he wanted to be in your world too. To me, he was a beautiful, mystical man living in a material world, and he was as funny as the day is long, and just as perplexing. I think I speak for all of us when I say that as time passes we discover more and more how deeply-seated he is in our hearts and lives. So, thank you everyone. George, this day is for you.” - Olivia Harrison, speech at the event Q: “In April, George received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What would he think about that?” Olivia Harrison: “I think by this point he would have been OK. But there was a point, sort of in the '90s, he was enjoying himself so much not doing anything in the public eye, he might not have done it. But you know, we want to give him a star and so that's too bad, George, you're going to have it [Iaughs]. He would always say, no matter what it was, ‘Oh that's nice.’ Sometimes people would make up an award and send it because they like him and he'd go, ‘Oh, that's nice.’ And he'd kind of put it on the table and it would just be there. Probably people don't realize that he did appreciate it whether it was the biggest award in the world or the smallest little award or a flower left in the gate … He might have some hokey little thing beside an Oscar on the shelf and it was all the same to him.” - Spinner, June 18, 2009 (x)
