Q: “Do you think people have got the wrong impression of you over the years?” George Harrison: “In that they think I’m serious, yeah. I have serious moments but I’m totally the opposite really. I think with ‘My Sweet Lord’ period and ‘Bangla Desh’ and the late ‘60s it did become political and everybody did get a bit serious but I never lost a sense of humor. That’s why people couldn’t believe I was making Monty Python’s Life of Brian.” Q: “They thought of you as a spiritual, religious type locked away in the house in Henley.” GH: “Well my concept of religion and spirituality isn’t Cliff Richard and the Shadows and Billy Graham. It’s very free, you know.” - Q, 1988 (x)

As we all know there are basically no documentaries about George, but, there is one that you MUST check out if you want to understand George better and it's called The Movie Life Of George Harrison.

It's all about his Handmade films. I had no idea how many there were or how long the company was around, and based on the way others explained it, George was able to do with Handmade Films what the Beatles could not do with Apple Corps. Someone came in with a wild and crazy idea that studios would hate and he said "Okay let's do it."

It shows George's humor so beautifully as well of his love of life and friends and music.

Most George centric things only talk about his spiritual side, but this movie explores his humor. He's also interviewed, which tells you what he thought of the film.

Could not recommend it more. I have a much more complete picture of George after watching it and I bet you will too!

Remembering David Leland 1941-2023

We're now in 2024, but there's one last 2023 obit I need to post. British Actor / screenwriter / director David Leland has died at 82.

He acted in tons of films including the puppeteer in Time Bandits. He worked on a ton of films produced by George Harrison's production company Handmade Films and became close friends with him. They collaborated on a number of music videos: The Traveling Wilburys' "Handle with Care", "She's My Baby", and "Inside Out" and Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down" (featuring Harrison and Ringo Starr). He also directed Paul McCartney's "Brown Eyed Handsome Man". After Harrison passed away in 2001, Leland directed the concert film Concert for George, of the 2002 tribute concert.

The link above is the obit from Variety.

I was going through my things and came across a print from when I was experimenting with a selenium toner a couple years ago. The picture was shot on Ilford Ortho 80, during a day of stand-up paddling with a friend in Brandenburg (I don’t remember where haha)
