That is nice.

Good to see George get a star. Too bad he didn't get it when he was still with us.

I was please see this info about a new CD and a documentary about Georg's life:
[quote]Capitol-EMI Records announced that a new compilation of Harrison’s post-Beatles recordings will be released June 16, spanning the different labels he recorded for before his death in 2001. “Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison” will also touch on his Beatles legacy with three of his Fab Four songs, “Something,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and “Here Comes the Sun,” represented in live recordings from the 1971 all-star Concert for Bangladesh charity event he spearheaded[/quote]

Ah - many thanks TOWOS. Saw a pic in the papers here today, but not that one, and no reporting of it. I loved Burnett's quote. (And Mr Idle's of course )

This is going to sound a bit (a lot?) 'me, me, me' but I don't know how else to say it. Until I reached the ripe old age of five or six, there was no music in the world except a single song each week (or day? can't remember) on 'Listen with Mother' (BBC Radio, at that time stuck in the early 1950's on a good day), an Elvis 45 of Heartbreak Hotel, a little Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez singing about a donkey, and three of the first two Beatles albums. (Yeah, I know that doesn't make sense. Except it does. With The Beatles, Meet The Beatles, Hard Day's Night). 'Don't Bother Me' remains, stupidly, my favourite Beatles song. I know there is a pile-up of better work, and other fine things that the man achieved. But I'm stuck being all self-obsessive, and thinking that any bloke who writes a song in their early 20's that works for a 5 year old a decade later, and sticks with a person for another 35 years, deserves a country named after them, not just a little star in a sidewalk. Although the star is lovely, and I'm happy about it.

WAAAAAY Cool, Smudge!!!!
