George Harrison



Video Saturday for no other reason that I love this song.

I revised my O levels at home to this song in 1973, sat in the house all day trying to force feed maths and french and physics and geography and all that jazz into a brain that didn't want to play at doing exams and all the while George Harrison, the massively under-rated Beatle sang this song on the radio, "give me hope, help me cope with this heavy load", this and Lou Reed's "Walk on the wild side" were the songs that carried me through those revision months and all to no avail, I was crap at schoolwork but we had some great sounds to revise to in those days...

The diet is going fine, the belt is nice and loose now and nearly ready to go up a notch - still can't find the scales though so I have to lie to Tesco Diets when they ask me to fill in the weight plan :)

Thanks for that video. My boys watched it with me. They're already knee-deep in anything Beatles related.

Nice to see you educating your boys properly - my girls were brought up on the Spice Girls - grrr!

Andy Fairweather-Low is on that video playing lead guitar, he's the connection between Harrison and Eric Clapton who he now plays with - Clapton and Harrison being old friends despite swapping a wife in the 1970's.
