RIP Geo Harrison

[Mindy]

I love you George, and thanks for everything you've done and helped me with! Miss you.

(I know it says Feb. 25th *shrug*)

[CrowDish]

Aw... that's beautiful... See, George? We all love you. Everybody loves you. <33.


(Most things say the 25th because that's the day he really kind of celebrated it, I think. If I found out my birthday was really the 25th, I'd probably still celebrate on the 24th, because otherwise it would just seem weird)

[Jane]

You've left us too early...

[Mindy]

I was watching Anthology today and I started actually crying when George said something funny because I was so sad. I felt so bad because I was never a fan even when he was alive. I still feel so horrible for that for some reason. Like I could never appreciate him while he was alive. John I understand, but George I just want to kick my ass sometimes.

[Emma]

Aww

[Zap]

MIndy, that's exactly how I feel. Exactly.

I became a fan in 2001, but in December. When I heard he died I still liked Rap and was like "Oh, another old guy died. Sad..."

I really just wanted to kick myself when I was listening to "My Sweet Lord" on the CFG because my head kept changing the lyrics to "My Sweet George" and i kept remembering that I never got to appreciate Hari before he died... And because of how I felt when he actually did...

And if I was crying from My Sweet Lord, you should have seen me when Joe Brown was singing "I'll See You In My Dreams" and you see those people actually holding up the big poster that says MY SWEET GEORGE.

I didn't get any sleep on Monday.

I know really! I remember the day he died, it was in the papaers and everything. and I told my mom later on, and she's like, aww, really? he was my favourite. and I was like, yeah, I know. But I was like, who cares? (sorry sorry SORRY!!!) (I didn't mean it... ) But it's just so ridiculous. like...I didn't even know anything about them when he died.

i remember the day he died. my friend fro found out and told me between classes, she was devistated and in disbelief, i was shocked. when i came home i popped myself down on the couch put on mtv and sat there for a few hours watching george's music videos. my reaction was more of disblief and i thinking it was terrible. if i can remember correctly me and my dad sat down and talked for a while about the beatles, i was a beatles fan back then but wasn't an obsessive one ( i was really into piebald and ska music)so i didn't know to much except for who the members were and a bunch of songs and about john's death. i little while after george's passing i become an obsessed beatles fan, i started picking out my dads old cds and playing then and putting them on my md player.

i just wish i was more of a fan back then not just a kid who could sing to beatles songs on the radio and recall listening to the songs with my dad.

but atleast we get to love george and thats all that really matters.

[Mindy]

I s'pose that's true.

I remember seeing it and not really hearing who had died so I asked my mom and she just told me "A beatle," and I asked "John Lennon?" Then she said George, and I was just like "oh he was just 'the extra one'" *cries*

I was a little embarrassed to say that before but now I know I'm not the only one who regrets what they did.

[CrowDish]

I didn't entirely realize the significance of it. I remember hearing about it and thinking it was really, horribly sad because I liked the Beatles - although I didn't know anything about them - and I knew how important they were. But it didn't greatly affect me at the time.

[Emma]

Man, I remember it vividly. I was in 9th grade and my mom drove me and my friend Shelley to school in the mornings. Shelley liked the Beatles too, so we were both quite aware of it. Anyway, that morning I knocked on her door to get her for school and while I was waiting for her to get her backpack together, her mom was watching the news. They said George had died, and we both just couldn't believe it. I was so sad, and then I went outside and told my mom, who immediately started crying.

[Beatlemon]

I was just reading this old thread here, and it just blows me away that George has been gone for five years.

I cried and cried when I heard he had the tumor - I thought he would die or would be dead within days of that news and it was only July. Of course, anyone with cancer and who lives with it without any hope of being cured makes me cry.

When November came, and the news about George's death came around, I never expected it to be so soon - you know, I was thinking a few years. So the morning of his death was normal for a few moments, where strangely enough on the radio I could hear the strains of My Sweet Lord drifting into my room - until my dad came in and told me that George had died. Somehow I knew that he had gone, and for a moment I just lay in my bed and didn't move a muscle, until I felt the impact full force and refused to get up because I was crying so hard. I cried all week and not even my best friend could not understand why I was crying.

"It's just a singer," She had said. Yeah, as if that would comfort me. But you have no idea who he WAS, how can you say he was just a singer? I couldn't concentrate for a few weeks afterward.


Cancer is terrible in any shape and form ... but George Harrison -why him? By then I was still discovering the Beatles and their music, and I realized that George was indeed my favourite, not just because of his utter and complete hotness, because I know that it's superficial to like someone based on their looks and not on what they believe in. I loved his music and his spirituality, and believed in his strength throughout his battle with cancer.

[me]

Wow, that is so well written. i mean..

It's terrible when even your best friend doens't understanmd why you're crying.

I cried as well. Just like when i cried when Freddie Mercury died. It's strange. Of course you don'tr know them personally, but they're part of you though. I mean, he was a part of my life, a part of my believes and what I did. When Freddie died, no one understood why I was crying, except for my mum. That felt so good, knowing there was someone who understood.

Cancer is horrible. I wished everybody could be freed form cancer.
George just died to young.
I mean Freddie, I'm sure he didn't want to die on age 45 either....but he had always said he didn't want to be an old man.
What about George...he didn't want to die. He would probably loved to see Dhani and his girlfriend getting married. Being there for his grandchildren. Play a little more on his uke. Doing the garden....

yeah. I watched it a week ago: WATERFALL.

Like, when I watched it a couple of months ago I cried a little, but this time I just bawled. I don't believe how much of a ...fool I was back then I rememeber distictly the day he died, I heard about it, and honestly, to me they were just a bunch of old guys who weren't worth the time back then.

man, if only I had known...

I'm almost crying now.. *wipe away tears*

Even though I never knew him and I never will, I honestly feel like he's a part of me now. They all are.


Oh george. May your spirit be with us for ever.

[Ashley]

It makes me really sad too, because when he died I liked the Beatles and all, but I wasn't like a big fan really. I knew my mom loved him, and I remember her like sitting there crying for so long, and I wish I could've cried with her. I wasn't even alive when John was, so that can't be helped, but I wish I appreciated George when he was here. But it's okay because I love him now and that's all that matters <33
