The Quiet Beatle
Would have been 69
Gone To Soon
...

Not really quiet when it came to producing great music......
With The Beatles, by himself, or with the  friends in the music business, he had.
Died November 29 2001. Yes "All Things Pass".

Dear George.....greatly, greatly missed. Sad I was battling cancer the same time he was....and at my last chemo treatment, I listening to "All Things Must Pass" on my trendy Sony portable CD player.....2 days later, George was gone. Sad That seems like a long time ago now.

Would give anything is he was still with us... Cry

Of course, George found out many years later that his birthday was actually Feb. 24th. But....old habits die hard, and I can't remember anything but the Feb. 25th date!

What's the story behind this ?

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

Happy Birtrhday to you George.
I was eleven or twelve years old when I discovered the Beatles thru a schoolfriends older sister
and from the beginning George was my fav out of the Fab Four. Gone too soon as so many others.
In case that there is really something like heaven, I hope George is playing in a cool band
together with Brian, Jimi, Janis and John.

I'm not sure of all the details, but George was always under the impression that he was born on Feb. 25. He was evidently born about 11:50 pm on the 24th, but why his family would have celebrated on the 25th all those years....well, I have no idea! George found out something in the 70's, I think, but didn't make it "official" until 1992....

Music, to me, is the joy, right? I love my kids most of the time, and I love my wife most of the time. Music I love all the time. It's the only constant thing in my life. It's the one thing you can count on. :Keith Richards 1993

Happy birthday to you!!

He's dead, but it doesn't matter. Death is a state of mind, for all those groovy sixties thinking people; also for people who believe in demons.

I was listening to Lennon's demo for "Strawberry Fields Forever". That's probably the best song ever; isn't it? It took a lot of talent to eclipse John, when they made Abbey Road.

Maybe Strawberry Fields Forever isn't the best song ever; I don't give a fuck. Honestly. I care most about my beer.
