It's hard to believe that four years have passed since former Beatle
George Harrison's death due to cancer. I cried when I woke up and
heard the sad news that he had passed away. The sad part was that
he was the youngest Beatle.
Shortly afterwards, I wrote an essay in honor of him called "Not
Guilty." I took the title of a song he wrote for the Beatles for
The White Album. The song ended up on the Anthology 3 double CD
many years later in the 1990s. George did record a solo version
of the song on his self-titled George Harrison album that came out in
1979. That album also included the songs "Faster" and "Blow Away"
in it. It is a good album worth checking out.
My essay, "Not Guilty," is radically different from my John Lennon
essay, "I'll Never Forget Him." I made it funny because George
was a film producer on a couple of Monty Phyton films and the movie
classic "Time Bandits."
Thanks for the music and the laughs, George.
