George Harrison On Gardening

Excerpt of David Hartman's Good Morning America interview with George Harrison from October 19,1981.

[@jorgepatino2138]

I wish George could say these words in this present moment

[@picnicpowerful]

George was so great. I absolutely cannot seem to get over him. What a beautiful man.

[@starrynight.1995]

Holy crap I thought this interview was in 1968 😂 Georgie hadn't aged a day here!!

[@mariosonicplushguy4303]

I know its because of his hair! it looks like his 1968 period

[@tomster927]

I think George looked older in the mid-70's when he appeared on SNLive than he does here.

[@sb6482]

he is only about 38

[@babu357]

@@tomster927 It was his hair. He had a perm and it was growing out by then.

[@cleanasfire1]

George was a beautiful brother and gift from GOD.

[@crapple009]

He looks amazingly just like he did in summer 1968.

[@marendenison3391]

I love George and I love gardening too!

[@lizard1971]

George can talk about insurance, and I would listen attentively. Just to hear that voice and watch his mouth. He is the epitome of SEXY!

[@phatato]

PREACH. He's about present moment awareness 30 years before it went mainstream

[@duffbaker9554]

See the 'Mad Day Out' photo session from July 28, 1968. Clean-shaven and hair a little longer like here. His '66 cut was still more mop-top than 'hippie'-length.

[@skeaneable]

the dating of the interview sure fooled me because I thought this was circa 1968 must be his hairstyle :)

[@beatlesloversprims]

George was so hipster that he skyped before Skype even existed

[@BeatlemaccaAR]

Best Beatle ever 😊

[@IMEMINE.]

He never would have bought into such nonsense

[@love4joj881]

That was via satellite.

[@love4joj881]

​@@IMEMINE. George wrote a song called Devil's Radio, these days, the devil's radio is the internet. Oh, if George was here to see it.....

[@pilroberts6185]

"Past is gone now cant stop that recall and future is not, may not be at all, but present is" Brilliant! Not sure if George penned that or not but still what an intellect to pull that prose out at the perfect time. Also this guy lets George talk, most interviewers cut him off when George is the middle of expressing an interesting and deep thought. Nice interview!

[@MegaPlexy]

Seems to be penned by Harrison... I think his son used that in his song All About Waiting.

[@jasonkennedy1670]

he knows all the chords

[@Kaliashdevi]

Love him to bits. try tuning in with him; he still cares about what's happening.

[@kole209]

I think they were a bit threatened by his talent. They gave him such a small quota which I think was a money situation from the sale of the albums and royalties and such. He was amazing though.

[@joancarlesclaros9217]

Real humble.

[@Mozart1220]

He looks like he just stepped out of the "White Album" photos. As for theose who bash Lennon/McCartney for holding him back, even he admits he didn't write anything worthy until 1966 and then it was only a song or two. Near the end he was starting to catch up, but by then it was too late.

[@juan.orduz.musico]

Where did you get this interview? Or where can I watch it full?

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

To a Degree it did, He was quite Happy to Be a Beatle from 58-66 but when he started doing more writing and there were songs that he was writing that was BETTER than Lennon and McCartney's and they kept getting Rejected by George Martin Of Course he was Pissed Off and Felt (as I feel and many other people feel) He was being Held Back..

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

Why would George be depressed when he was the best Lead Guitar Player in the world and he actually taught John Lennon how to play guitar, i saw that video George tells it like it is "Paul is a Dick" Did i mention George Banged Patti Boyd when John Lennon couldn't??

[@hirskdubbi]

more like 66/no mustache/beatle cut

[@stuy2376]

Your pic, is that you admiring George's star on the Hollywood walk of fame ?

[@MrTamuren]

to each their own

[@jamesyang6165]

ha ha gardening is cool

[@MikeyD347]

George on Skype

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

Harrison was underatted and held back by Lennon and McCartney

[@hirskdubbi]

here comes the sun is his best,charting or not.dude george could play guitar and john couldnt when they met.John was a bully and had to be leader but knew that mccartney had alot of talent and knowledge so made him his partner.George was younger and never got the chances or encourgement cuz paul and john were douchebags

[@julianwalch3567]

George always had the best Beatles haircut.

[@shelleywantiez7964]

George will never be forgotten. What a giant of a man. Miss him very much.

[@davidfulton179]

What a poet, philosopher, artist, and all around human being. George Harrison is pretty good, too.

[@AnthropoidOne]

"the 70's started out as a continuation of the 60's"...he's brilliant!

[@misstery5942]

He was so down to earth

[@irishelk3]

I love him

[@jerrylanglois7892]

Yes, he's right, gardening is a '' drug '' -- a continuation, a constant rebirth and connection to our nature.

[@genericgeorge]

Lennon had McCartney (and vica versa) listening to his stuff intently, both working on stuff together, and George Martin listened with open ears to their stuff so it was easier for them. But still waters run deep. George had no-one but himself and had to dig deep into his self belief & confidence because the two egos weren't gonna to dig to find it. I'm sure his self worth as a writer/musician would have been tested in this not so welcoming atmosphere. It would have destroyed a weaker character.

[@bwoodruff647]

you're my kind of guy/person George!

[@DavidGigg]

Although obviously not one of the main vocalists, your mathematics are a bit off. 12 official Beatle albums (UK), George sang lead on 28 Beatles songs ( he wrote 22 of those).

[@fredapeeples6619]

I was late for school that day....

[@sam-zo1ck]

Wow

[@anna-river]

such a pisces.

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

John Lennon never lived in a 70 room Mansion?? What do you think Tittenhurst Estate was a Shack?? Also John abandoned Julian you never saw George do that to Dhani

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

[@lovemarie7649]

I like this interview of Mr. George because I love gardening too, you know the flowers when you see them bloom, so satisfying to see the fruits of your labour and they are just beautiful.

[@1977a]

George Harrison wrote taxman, while my guitar gently weeps , here comes the sun and one of the greatest Beatle's tracks long long long. His solo album all things must pass was also great. Although his output was less prolific than Lennon-Mccartney, you have to remember that they were two of the greatest songwriters in history. When you compare George Harrison's output to the bulk of garbage that gets produced in popular music, he stacks up pretty well.

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

still a big house regardless why didnt john live in a shack?? speaking of Ringo why don't you bash him?? like you do to the most talented Beatle George??

[@babu357]

I was a teen at this time and remember getting up early to watch this on TV. It was during the promoting Time Bandits. Great movie. :)

[@Voxac100b]

Very cool lad George was

[@ginallenares1706]

He was a jack of all trades

[@Lacakagog03]

Love George Harrison 😘❤️

[@IMEMINE.]

Dude turned Petty onto Self Realization Elvis‘s hairstylist turned George onto it back in 64

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

It is amazing that you Hate George so much but you take so much of your valuable time to Bash him in many youtube videos that he is in...

[@BozzasBilge]

thanks for uploading this ! =)

[@inkey2]

i dont know if you are aware of this, probably not.....but this person "ArgentineExpel4Fraud" you have been replying to.....he is literally on "hundreds" of George Harrison KZbin sites bashing George "night and day". He has at least 5 different names on youtube. He has to be spending every minute of his time doing this. I have been following his posts for a long time now.....he must have thousands of post bashing Harrison

[@alexplaytop]

it's like Skype of 1981?))

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

Bottom line is George Harrison was More talented that John Lennon because George was more down to earth anf John had a Huge Ego.

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

what about John Lennon being a Hypocrite living in a 70 room exotic mansion while singing Imagine all the people sharing all the world...

[@Viuomar]

Yeah! Love and Hate, Hot and Cold, Hello and Goodbye...Just graduations from the same as alchemists say, isn´t it?

[@marionrosmith1696]

I imagine now he'd have a show garden at Hampton Court or Chelsea Flower Show and us oldies would say "he used to be a famous pop star you know"

[@Konabob2]

Thanks Suzie!

[@michelle88960]

Well said.

[@LaMYsteriosa87]

💋

[@16ManchesterUtd]

Fair enough, but wouldn't say he was better that the other two. He wrote 'while my guitar gently weeps' and 'something' which were two top 10 Beatles songs. To say he was better based on just 2 great songs isn't justifiable.

[@TheVeek192]

Very little to be gained by arguing over which song or singer or whatever is "best." WTF cares? Just like what you like and that's good.

[@love4joj881]

Why are you so upset because someone says George was better? Why is that such a problem for you?

[@16ManchesterUtd]

So being a beatle held him back? makes sense

[@petramc]

Please don't feed the troll....

[@tyronerodgers]

Now now

[@EpiccougROTMG]

People always said they used to keep him out, but they encouraged him like mad, until it got to the white album, then he started to get underrated and held back.

[@pepper9905]

I hate gardening!

[@JackKnight762]

wow--another old cliche

[@123987username]

creeeeeppyyyyyy

[@elyeye66]

George the gardener Beatle.
