“‘He had the most distinctive voice, those funny little vowels. I always have that disconnect where I’m listening as a music lover and then I suddenly go, “Oh, oh, it’s you.”’ Her deep brown eyes — so similar to his — drift to the middle distance and there’s a beat of silence. That recognition is ‘not painful.’ Occasionally she finds herself listening to a song and it does not conjure him up just as he played it to her. “When that happens it doesn’t make me happy,” she laughs. She wants their connection to live whenever she hears his music. ‘Oh, wait, don’t ever let that become just objective, something that you don’t connect to.’ […] The Scorsese documentary, instigated by Olivia, opens with Dhani being asked what he would say to his father if he appeared now. Dhani says he saw his father in a dream and asked him ‘Where’ve you been?’ and his father replied, ‘Here the whole time.’ ‘What Dhani said was really very lovely. He had a lot of numinous dreams.’ She smiles and repeats, ‘Here the whole time.’ I ask Olivia what she would say to George now. She pauses. ‘I hope I told you everything. I hope I told you how wonderful you are.’” - article/interview by Helen Rumbelow, The Sunday Times, September 24, 2014 (x)

George Harrison: Isn’t It a Pity.

Alan Freeman: How we break each other’s hearts.

George: That’s about me. I’m breaking everybody’s heart.

Freeman: In what way, George?

George: [laughs] I don’t know. Any way you care to mention.

"My album coming up is like Mrs. Dale’s Diary, and it’s like me kneeling in front of the priest and saying, 'OK, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I did this and I done that and I done that and I done that,' But I’ll do that. I don’t need Woman’s Own magazine or Rolling Stone or any of those other journalists who think they’ve caught me doing this or doing that or gettin’ a divorce or being a loony or whatever. No – they can’t catch me ‘cause I caught myself before they ever knew it. I know. I know what I’m doing. And I know when I’m mad. And I know when I’m havin’ a divorce. And I know when I’m breakin’ up my marriage. And I know when I’m not. And I know when I’m happy. And even if I am breakin’ up my marriage, I know all the good points to it, and all the bad points to it, and it’s none of their business anyway, and even if it is wait ‘til my record ‘cause I’ll tell ya from my point of view – I don’t need your twisted point of view to tell me." - George Harrison, Rock Around the World with Alan Freeman (18 Oct. 1974) [x]

"When I first met him he said, 'I don't want you to think you've discovered something about me I don't know. I'm not claiming to be this or that or anything. People think they've found you out when I'm not hiding anything.'" - Olivia Harrison, Living in the Material World (2011)

"[George] was a witness to his actions. He always said, ‘People think they’ve found me or found something out about me. It’s like that I don’t know. I know when I’m bad. I know.’ Nobody suffers more than yourself, right? Than one’s self when you know you’re not being true, and he TORMENTED himself, you know, I think, a lot. But he was a curious guy, and he just wanted to have all the experiences and hope he could get back in time for the big exit." - Olivia Harrison, BBC Radio 4 (21 Nov. 2020)

Originally only available on the bonus DVD included with The Apple Years box set in 2014.

George Harrison with Ringo Starr

“Met them all there in the material world

John and Paul here in the material world

Though we started out quite poor

We got 'Richie' on a tour

Got caught up in the material world”

Rest in peace, Gary Wright. Sincere condolences to his loved ones.

“His brown eyes were penetrating yet peaceful, and he immediately disarmed my nervousness with his gentleness. Meeting someone of his stature was challenging for me at first.I had really never met anyone quite like George before; he did’t seem to be on some huge ego trip like other artists I had met over the years. His aura was calm, and his being exuded a subtle spiritual magnetism. Yet, at the same time, he was someone who was very focused in the here and now. As he shook my hand and graciously introduced himself to me, all the initial apprehensiveness I had been feeling suddenly vanished. I felt in my heart that I was meeting an old friend that I hadn’t seen in years — or maybe lifetimes.” - Gary Wright (on first meeting George during the All Things Must Pass sessions), Dream Weaver: Music, Meditation, And My Friendship With George Harrison (2014) “[In 1971, George] said, ‘I’m booked to do The Dick Caveat Show in a couple of weeks in New York. You can perform “Two Faced Man” together with your band if you like, and I’ll play slide guitar.’ […] I was pretty overwhelmed by his kindness in wanting to help me." - ibid "My guru often said, ‘To be fit for Self-Realization, man must be fearless.’ George was always fearless, and he manifested this quality right up to the end of his life. His wife Olivia’s strength, patience, and loving attention to him was deeply inspiring as we all sat down for dinner together — our last supper. After the meal, he showed us recently taken videos of his garden back in England, pointing out the changes he had made since I last was there.” - ibid In December 1976, the Journal Herald reported that George planned “a tour with a package that includes his friend, rock singer Gary Wright, as well as members of the hilarious British Monty Python troupe. The concerts will be multi-media events that will feature the music of Harrison and Wright, and the skits, films and songs of the Pythons.” - Journal Herald, December 16, 1976 Over the years, these two friends co-wrote songs (“If You Believe,” “That’s What It Takes,” and “To Discover Yourself"), and spent vacations together (such as crossing the Atlantic on the QE2; Switzerland in 1973; Portugal in 1973, with more about that vacation here; India in early 1974; and Sweden in 1976.
