“This is from George and Olivia in Hawaii — what a great shot. It’s actually a home-made shot of their shadows. It’s cool. […]
It was when I was doing my television special Ognir Rrats [see photo 2] and George came to play a part. But before he arrived he had an accident on a mountain in Maui. He’d fallen on his face but he still came because that was what he was like.” - Ringo Starr, Postcards From The Boys (2004) (x)
Idk if it’s just me being dramatic but anytime I see someone make a post about Pattie and George and they say something like oh they should’ve stayed together… like bro get over it!!!! He married Olivia he loved her!!!! And it’s like idk it feels so biased in a way. I love Pattie don’t get me wrong but like c’mon. How come no one is like that with other wives? I will always always defend my girls because none of the Beatles were faithful. But saying George and Pattie were meant to be together like gurl 😭 like do you not read the things about george and Olivia ???? THEY ARE SO IN LOVE ALL THOSE SONGS ABOUT OLIVIA AND DHANI???!!! HE LOVED THEM SMMM. I’m not saying you can’t like Pattie and George because I do too but to say that they were meant to be together and say you’d rather him stay with her than Olivia 😬.. yeah no

Footage as featured in the special edition of Living In The Material World and the George Harrison Guitar Collection app — George playing Fred Astaire’s “Shine On Your Shoes” on the ukulele.
“The main thing was he was always around the house, playing his ukulele and smiling. I’d come home from school and he’d be standing in the doorway playing his uke.” - Dhani Harrison, Los Angeles Times, November 2002
“If I began to sing a song — any song — he would accompany and encourage me. If I played three chords on the uke (compulsory instrument in our home), he would be my band.” - Olivia Harrison, Harrison (2002)
“[George] had a lot of patience and he had time for people. If somebody truly wanted to know something, whether it was a guitar chord or something from the Vedas or how you prune a tree, if you were really curious, he had an endless amount of time. He actually sat with my mother and showed her how to play one chord on a ukulele so she could play along with him. He wanted everybody to have fun and join in. He was a Pisces; I think he liked the whole school going along with him.” - Olivia Harrison, Filter, Fall 2011 (x)
He believed that his family were the only ones who wanted him to be king, and that was one of the reasons why he did not want to be king. After he reluctantly became king, he was surprised to hear and see people shouting his name with joy. The emotional transitions in this scene were very fast King Aegon ii Targaryen is a very different, complex character. It would take pages to describe him.
