George Harrison passed over to the other side today. His farewell message to the world was "Love one another".

I can't believe that two of the Beatles are gone now! I can still vividly remember watching them on the Ed Sullivan Show...way back when. So sad, but like that song says...heaven has a hell of a band!!

I can't believe it either. When you are young it seems that things will always stay the same. The Beatles would always be alive! I was terribly saddened when John was shot but that wasn't a natural passing. So I didn't look at it so much as time passing. So now George goes and it's from health problems which affect so many. I just saw Paul in an interview the other day and he looked so much older to me. So I guess I'm coming to realize that we aren't invincible. We all succomb to death at some point.

So I guess it means "times are a changin". It's probably not too unlike what my grandparents and those before them have experienced. I'm sure they had institutions like the Beatles in their day. But we don't hardly remember them now. So unfortunately to me it's the beginning of the end of an era.

Sorry to be so depressing.

That's okay, Denise -- it IS depressing! I am tripley depressed about George dying: [1]Another Beatle gone, [2] despite advancing age, dying before 60 is TOO YOUNG, and [3] he was MY favorite Beatle. This sucks.

Provided to me by a friend, one of George's songs:

WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS

WELL I LOOK AT YOU ALL SEE THE LOVE THERE THAT'S SLEEPING
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS

I LOOK AT THE FLOOR AND I SEE IT NEEDS SWEEPING
STILL MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS

I DON'T KNOW WHY NOBODY TOLD YOU HOW TO UNFOLD YOUR LOVE
I DON'T KNOW HOW SOMEONE CONTROLLED YOU
THEY BOUGHT AND SOLD YOU

I LOOK AT THE WORLD AND I NOTICE IT'S TURNING
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS

FOR EVERY MISTAKE WE MUST SURELY BE LEARNING
YEAH BUT STILL MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WERE DIVERTED YOU WERE PERVERTED TOO
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WERE INVERTED NO ONE ALERTED YOU

I LOOK AT YOU ALL SEE THE LOVE THERE THAT'S SLEEPING
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS

LOOK AT YOU ALL
YES BUT STILL MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS
