Today we celebrate the birthday of the amazing, astonishing, and world changing life of George Harrison,who would have turned 66 today, February 25th. His influences are still felt today. The Beatles Love Cirque du Soleil Show in Las Vegas would not have happened without George. The Benefit in NYC in April with Paul and Donovan (by the David Lynch Foundation) to teach a million kids transcendental meditation, is happening because of his original fascination with Indian Music and culture. The Benefit concert idea to have rock musician’s play for a cause was started by George in 1971 at the Concert for Bangla Desh. We could go on and on, but we can never forget that it was his music that touched us all so much and will be remembered the longest. When The Beatles conquered America in February, 1964, George was still ONLY 20 YEARS OLD!!! Who could forget that first Ed Sullivan Show. The very first song was All My Loving and George nailed the lead then the harmonies on the last verse with Paul. It was very obvious to us viewers that it wasn’t a two man group. It was total package with each member contributing 25% of the essence of The Beatles. Add it all up and it came to much more than 100%. Happy Birthday George. We miss you, your family misses you, and the world misses you. Listen to your favorite George music today and hear why, once again, he will never, ever be forgotten. Peace and Love and Hari Krishna.
[Note: When the details for the Benefit in April at Radio City Music Hall are made public we will announce them immediately.]
