A moment to appreciate Ringo's incredible taste.

"My new craze -- this year's flavour for me is Nirvana, a band called Texas, The Sugarcubes from Iceland, and The Cramps."

FWIW it seems like he warmed up to it thanks to Bob Dylan. This is a quote from his son Dhani:
Dhani Harrison in an interview with The Line of Best Fit in 2023: "My dad didn't really like rap music. But then I remember when he was doing the Traveling Wilburys, Bob Dylan used to like wearing his hat backwards, and my dad would be like, ‘Why? Why are you wearing your hat back?’ Until Dylan answered, ‘Because that's what rappers do, and they are the only ones saying anything!’ Bob Dylan was listening to NWA, Public Enemy. Since then, my dad had more respect for it and left it alone. Later in life, RZA became a dear friend, and I think my dad would have gotten on really well with him. They're both very respectful people who embrace all cultures and are well versed in different forms of spirituality. They would have had a really good conversation."

One of the most annoying things about Beatles fans is the constant complaints that George was too bitter and cynical when in fact he was cooking.
Lyrics from George Harrison's song Pt 2 Vatican Blues: Now how come nobody really noticed Puff of white smoke knocked me out The truth is hiding, lurking, banking Things they do at night It's quite suspicious to say the least Even mentioned it to my local priest One Our Father, three Hail Marys Each Saturday night Lyrics from George Harrison's song Brainwashed: They brainwashed my great uncle Brainwashed my cousin Bob They even got my grandma When she was working for the mob Brainwash you while you're sleeping While in your traffic jam Brainwash you while you're weeping While still a baby in your pram Brainwashed by the military Brainwashed under duress Brainwashed by the media You're brainwashed by the press Brainwashed by computer Brainwashed by mobile phones Brainwashed by the satellite Brainwashed to the bone

I wish guitarists would do a video for George like drummers have done for Ringo. I keep thinking of this quote from Alex Scally and I feel like it's important. So much of the guitar playing of the last 30 odd yrs was inspired by him yet folks are like it's too bad he wasn't another Jimmy Page.
“As a guitarist, I’ve always loved George Harrison. I’ve never been a fan of the rock'n'roll style, or the solos, etc. I like simple things. When Harrison does a solo, it doesn’t sound like a solo, it’s just his part, it’s never a show of virtuosity. I don’t like sham.” - Alex Scally (Beach House)
