Living In George Harrison's World


Lately I've been listening to a lot of the ex-Beatles solo career, especially from Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
The album "Living In The Material World" from George is passing in repeat mode in my iPod during the last week, it is really amazing.
As I was listening to a lot of Harrison's music I decided to watch the Martin Scorsese documentary "Living In The Material World". It is really touching and, if someone liked George for his music they will love him and gain a giant respect for him after watching it.
The way he faced spirituality and the way he faced the questions of life, like if there's a God or not, and what the hell we are doing in this world is a lesson for our own life.
And of course, the way he made the Concert for Bangladesh, the first Rock concert for humanitarian reasons, they should had given him a Peace Nobel Price.
And his legacy is completely unreachable. Every single person that talks on the documentary (including names like Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Jackie Stewart, Eric Idle, Ravi Shankar, Tom Petty, Jeff Lyne and so on) talks about they have lost one of his best ever friends, and one of the most adorable and passionate person on Earth.
Most emotional moments, I would say at the beginning, Dhani Harrison talking about a dream, and at the end, Jackie Stewart describing how he feel about his passing, McCartney telling us what he miss more in Harrison, Olivia Harrison talking about the moment of his passing and, the most emotional moment of all is Ringo Starr talking about his last conversation with George, complete the high moment of the all movie (you can see that part at the end of this article). You really can see how special Harrison was to his friends by their testimonies.
If anyone likes the music of The Beatles, and George's solo career it is a complete must seen film.
Another great experience is to watch some moments of the "Concert For George", where you can feel a really magic sensation on the stage, just looking in the videos on Youtube.
Stay here with Ringo's moment.
