“This happened in Philadelphia, so long ago: December the 16th, 1974. […] I asked the bartender for a piece of paper to write a note. On the paper, I wrote: ‘George: Do a favour for me. Make some mention of the fact that today is Beethoven’s birthday. Do it for me. I am Eric Hall, formerly of Porchester Road, Norris Green, Liverpool 11.’ Then I walked all round the stadium to where one could see steps that led down into the darkness of backstage. Reaching the bottom of the steps, I beckoned to a giant security guard […]. I proffered the folded little note and said politely, ‘Would you see that George Harrison gets this, please?’ He took the note and ambled away from me… I thought, ‘Well, that’s the last I’ll hear of that…’ […] December 16th was a Monday that year. On the Wednesday, I was sitting in my office and the phone rang. It was Jim, a photographer friend. He said, ‘Eric! Were you at the Spectrum last night?!’ I said, 'For George Harrison? No, I was there Monday night.’ Jim said, 'Wow, man! You wouldn’t believe what happened! 'George Harrison came out and halfway through the show and he said, “My friend, Eric Hall from Norris Green back in my hometown is here tonight. He tells me it’s Beethoven’s birthday today. Here’s something for Eric,” and then he played the Ode to Joy from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony! In the coolest rock style, dude!’ Jim yelled into the phone, 'I couldn’t believe my ears, ma-an!’ Whoa, neither could I. The amazing thing was that there was someone there that knew me. I would never have known of George’s generosity – or his pride in doing something for a Scouser so far from home! Some karma, huh? But then, you know, sometimes good karma is just being a Scouser.

"One morning during the filming of Help!, George came into the group's rented digs looking as if he'd just gotten up. It's one of my favorites - he looks so vulnerable." ~ Henry Grossman

wish someone loved me as much as George loved this vest
George really did love himself some plaid shirts huh
George's moles- a study
My main thought was to map out the moles on George's face as an art reference- I have trouble looking at pictures of him when drawing or painting him mostly because his moles mix in with freckles, acne scars, pimples etc etc. So I thought I'd compare pictures of him throughout his life to see which ones stay there the whole time so as to not confuse them with the more temporary ones ^^ I drew up a little map of the ones I concluded were absolutely moles and not seasonal freckles or age spots- but honestly you can just draw your own conclusions from that little collage. He definetely has some more on his forehead but he's like ALWAYS got bangs on so it's harder to tell. Ok bye now assume I am wrong about everything
