Agreed!
George will always be incredible to me. He was my orginal Beatle love, as I fell in love with him as a 4 year old based on this album cover:
His guitar playing was epic: beautiful, melodic, passionate. He was regarded as the "quiet Beatle" because he just didn't feel like delivering all the one-liners or trying to make the girls swoon with remarks drenched in heavy romanticism. But George was extremely witty, a pioneer of Eastern music and philosophies, and incredibly more deep than the silly coined nickname entailed.
All Things Must Pass is one of the greatest albums ever, and certainly at the very top of the top Beatle solo albums. George didn't mess around, and in my opinion Here Comes the Sun and Something are 2 of the 5 most beautiful moments on
Abbey Road for me- and that is saying A LOT.
George will always be loved and adored for all that he brought to music and to the world in general. I want to leave off with my favorite George song and my favorite version of it:
He was a beautiful man, and I miss him. The day I found out George was gone I cried instantly. It was a great loss of a man who really never wanted all the adulation and strove for a more peaceful, private existence. Love you George!
