Footage as featured in the special edition of Living In The Material World and the George Harrison Guitar Collection app — George playing Fred Astaire’s “Shine On Your Shoes” on the ukulele.
“The main thing was he was always around the house, playing his ukulele and smiling. I’d come home from school and he’d be standing in the doorway playing his uke.” - Dhani Harrison, Los Angeles Times, November 2002
“If I began to sing a song — any song — he would accompany and encourage me. If I played three chords on the uke (compulsory instrument in our home), he would be my band.” - Olivia Harrison, Harrison (2002)
“[George] had a lot of patience and he had time for people. If somebody truly wanted to know something, whether it was a guitar chord or something from the Vedas or how you prune a tree, if you were really curious, he had an endless amount of time. He actually sat with my mother and showed her how to play one chord on a ukulele so she could play along with him. He wanted everybody to have fun and join in. He was a Pisces; I think he liked the whole school going along with him.” - Olivia Harrison, Filter, Fall 2011 (x)
Idk if it’s just me being dramatic but anytime I see someone make a post about Pattie and George and they say something like oh they should’ve stayed together… like bro get over it!!!! He married Olivia he loved her!!!! And it’s like idk it feels so biased in a way. I love Pattie don’t get me wrong but like c’mon. How come no one is like that with other wives? I will always always defend my girls because none of the Beatles were faithful. But saying George and Pattie were meant to be together like gurl 😭 like do you not read the things about george and Olivia ???? THEY ARE SO IN LOVE ALL THOSE SONGS ABOUT OLIVIA AND DHANI???!!! HE LOVED THEM SMMM. I’m not saying you can’t like Pattie and George because I do too but to say that they were meant to be together and say you’d rather him stay with her than Olivia 😬.. yeah no
George and Olivia celebrating several wins for the movie Mona Lisa at the 1987 BAFTA (the British version of the Academy Awards) ceremony. George's Handmade Films produced the film. Bob Hoskins (he's in the second pic) won best actor.
It's Ringo Starr's wedding to his second wife Barbara and ALL three of his bandmates attend! What's happening? How is that possible? Well read and find out.
This very trippy story reflects on what could have been, but it's not an AU.
thinking about how get him back by olivia rodrigo is literally in the mean girls trailer and is obviously talking about (janis') revenge against regina and its like half of that song is a revenge song so makes total sense... but the other half!!!! is about olivia missing the guy and wanting him back!! like!!!
He believed that his family were the only ones who wanted him to be king, and that was one of the reasons why he did not want to be king. After he reluctantly became king, he was surprised to hear and see people shouting his name with joy. The emotional transitions in this scene were very fast King Aegon ii Targaryen is a very different, complex character. It would take pages to describe him.
“‘He had the most distinctive voice, those funny little vowels. I always have that disconnect where I’m listening as a music lover and then I suddenly go, “Oh, oh, it’s you.”’
Her deep brown eyes — so similar to his — drift to the middle distance and there’s a beat of silence. That recognition is ‘not painful.’ Occasionally she finds herself listening to a song and it does not conjure him up just as he played it to her. “When that happens it doesn’t make me happy,” she laughs. She wants their connection to live whenever she hears his music. ‘Oh, wait, don’t ever let that become just objective, something that you don’t connect to.’
[…] The Scorsese documentary, instigated by Olivia, opens with Dhani being asked what he would say to his father if he appeared now. Dhani says he saw his father in a dream and asked him ‘Where’ve you been?’ and his father replied, ‘Here the whole time.’
‘What Dhani said was really very lovely. He had a lot of numinous dreams.’ She smiles and repeats, ‘Here the whole time.’ I ask Olivia what she would say to George now. She pauses.
‘I hope I told you everything. I hope I told you how wonderful you are.’” - article/interview by Helen Rumbelow, The Sunday Times, September 24, 2014 (x)
