  • From French-Canadian TV. Rare clip of George Harrison at The Montreal Grand-Prix, June 2000. Trying to escape the journalist at first, he ended giving a few insights about his musical taste of the moment and his passion for Formula 1 Racing.

    He had his guard up with the first answer he gave but he genuinely gave in. Kudos to the reporter for not asking “are the Beatles getting back together?” , I’m not a Beatle and i would’ve asked her to shut her trap. Wished i could’ve met him and thank him for the music, that killer solo on “All my loving” and for being a major influence on massive charitable gigs. Guess it’s better late than never, thank you George for your contribution to music and to the world. In 8 short years you managed to bring the kind of joy that’ll last forever. You were more than just a Beatle, you were a kind and humble human being. Thank you George, wherever you are.

But his warmth and kindness always seems to move me - emotionally. You can also feel it through his music. True beauty.

    George was a true English gentleman. He knew we are really spirits just having a temporary human experience. We all come from the same source, the same essence. All we are really...is energy. Energy can't be destroyed, only transformed..so George had absolute faith that there was another chapter beyond the veil of physical death. If this universe was created, there had to be a designer...god, Jesus & the holy spirit truly does exist. 😊💝💗💓👍👍
