George Harrison

About

I knew a little bit about writing from the others, from the privileged point of sitting in the car when a song was written or coming into being. I remember once sitting with Paul in the cinema on the corner of Rose Lane, not far from where he lived, near Penny Lane. They showed an ad for Link Furniture: ‘Are you thinking of Linking?’ Paul said, ‘Oh, that would make a good song,’ and he wrote one that went, ‘Thinking of linking my life with you.’

George Harrison, from Anthology book

His music will live on forever. He’s a very strong, loving man but he didn’t suffer fools gladly. He’s a great man and I think he’ll be remembered as a great man in his own right. [Recalling last time he was George] He was quite ill. But we were laughing and joking just like nothing was going on. I was very impressed by his strength but I kind of knew he’d be like that because that’s how he always was. He would’ve wanted us to get on and be loving and remember him as the great man he was.
