In the elevator this morning with my neighbor, Bee. She’s a nurse and we sometimes meet on our way to work. She is a zaftig Puerto Rican with a big smile. Got an easy laugh. Bee’s also a huge movie fan so I mention the upcoming George Harrison documentary by Martin Scorsese.
“Oh, I love Rock n Roll,” Bee said. “I was one of the only Latina’s that did back then. You don’t believe me? Inagaddadavida, baby!”
Wow. That looks interesting. I'm a Stones guy, but would really like to learn more about Mr. Harrison.
I hope it's a good one. It's a Marty Scorsese "Picture" after all.
[1] - if you haven't checked out "The Concert for George" - I recommend that for your viewing pleasure. A very nice musical tribute (and damned if his son isn't the spitting image of him!)
George may have been the most interesting Beatle.
[2] Marty's track record on music docs has been pretty damned good, so I'm hoping for great stuff.
[3] Yeah, there are some great moments therein - Billy Preston taking over "Isn't It A Pity" gave me goosebumps!
My mom and dad were at The Concert for Bangladesh back when. Mom used to play the record all the time.
4) I don't know enough about them but why is George more interesting than John or Paul?
[6] Well, I said "may have been." I'm not sure - there's just something compelling about the guy. Maybe because unlike Lennon, he didn't let his angst spill out all over the place, or like McCartney, totally tamp it down. He was just an interesting cat - curious that he among them was the one who built real relationships with other musicians outside the band. I think Lennon & McCartney probably had too much ego to do that.
