He was never underrated, man. It never happened. Maybe you are too young to know. You have idea what The Beatles meant. You have no idea who all of them had the same importance. Please, listen to their albuns carefully. See their movies! Learn about them. You don't know what you are missing. Gosh, we used to sing "We love you Beatles, on yes we do...and mentioned the names of all of them. We love you Paul, We love you John, We love you Ringo, We love you George! We would scream for all of them. It is sad people today don't know how important Beatlemania was and still is. Don't know who none of them were mor important than the other. Even when we had oour favourites, we love the others just the same. In fact, among my group of friends, George was the most loved!

[@RBAILEY57]

Dabreu, I'm 66 years old, and have been a Beatles fan since 1964. I have all the LP's, have seen the movies (many times). I've been to Liverpool several times, and have seen Ringo and Paul (twice) live. I recommend a movie, "The Compleat Beatles" and a book, "The Secret Lives of John Lennon" by Ronald Goldman. The book is lengthy, and has much history about the band, and about them as individuals. I lived Beatlemania. My comment was related to the fact that George was in the Shadow of John and Paul, for too long. He was my favorite Beatle. RIP.

[@Mjgirl55]

Ringo in an interview tells the story of visiting George who was dying of lung cancer. He was bedridden, very weak. Ringo visited for a couple of hours and then told George he had to go see a friend who needed him. George looked up and said in a whisper "Do you want me to go with you?" Ringo said he left and once outside he burst into tears. Such an emotional interview. RIP George..you are so missed 😇❤

[@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614]

Hinduism is a load of empty garbage philosophy that goes nowhere. Never makes a point. Krishna was a legend, and I think a lot of Hindus would acknowledge that. However, I think people did have a sense that God would come in the flesh. The man Jesus (ye-shu-ah) that lived in the 1st century, however, has been substantiated as a historical man in the flesh that claimed to be God and we have historical accounts of the things He actually did and said, even from non-biblical sources (the Jewish Talmud said that He used Black Magic to perform the miracles). There’s your historical God in flesh that you should worship. George calling Krishna my sweet lord is as dumb as calling Thor my sweet lord. That being said, I think George just wanted to be different and non-mainstream and I get it. A lot of Christians are seriously slow and idiotic and just digest and regurgitate their culture. Hence the fact that this song kicks ass and Christian music sucks... ok, let’s hear the ad-hominem arguments. Don’t forget to put on your holy robe or fedora...

[@user-jb5pp5rw9u]

@@daniellehall9679 It's a masterpiece in concept but you have to have the video with the visual cues throughout to understand. If the Beatle's story of fame and disintegration wasn't known, the lyrics are essentially nonsense. But framed in a proper context (definitely not in a stage performance unless it's theater) it's as infectuous mentally as it is melodically. George is a minimalist and you can't play music and expect to be understood with such small and nuanced references. Far more intellectually connected than John or Paul because he could afford to sit back and watch the whole of the comedy from the sidelines.

I think this confirms that the Beatles really loved each other as true brothers, having been through both heaven and hell as a unique body. George and Ringo were especially close, but even with Paul's need to be out front and John's mercurial jabs at the Beatles as a group and as individuals, the true bond of love was present. Ringo is just a lovely man, while Paul is the tireless performer. John was the barometer of them all, and George was the quick witted, clear thinker, without a "candy coating". I love the Beatles, and I love Ringo, John, George and Paul as individuals.

"Jeff Lynne came along at the best time and his production actually helped George Harrison's career... saved it in a way, and brought him back with the spectacular CLOUD NINE album, which IMO is second-best in George's catalog, right after ALL THINGS MUST PASS. And then there were the two very satisfying Traveling Wilburys albums. George Harrison was back, better than ever -- and on a roll!

[@JaleelJohanson62]

It's been long enough now that this song effects me on two levels... The first level is realizing that for him at this time the FAB days were well behind the Fab Four. The second level is more personal for me and it's realizing I'm way past the point I was in my life when this came out in the 80's. George always put so much meaning behind his lyrics. He is missed.

[@bevelandcrown3814]

Back then long time ago when grass was green Woke up in a daze Arrived like strangers in the night Long time ago when we was fab (Fab) Back when income tax was all we had Caresses fleeced you in the morning light Casualties at dawn And we did it all Long time ago when we was fab (Fab) In my world you are my only love And while you're in this world The fuzz gonna come and claim you But you mo better wise When the buzz gonna come and take you away Take you away Take you away The microscopes that magnified the tears Studied warts and all Still the life flowed on and on Long time ago when we was fab (Fab) But it's all over now, Baby Blue Long time ago when we was fab (Fab) Like this pullover you sent to me (Fab) And you've really got a hold on me (Fab) Long time ago when we was fab

I had a very similar reaction when I heard about Stevie Ray Vaughan's untimely demise, so I can definitely relate. As a young, up-and-coming guitarist myself, Stevie Ray was a huge influence, so his loss was a bitter blow. What really chapped my @$$ the most about the unfairness of it all was that his helicopter flew into a man-made ski hill. That's right...they had to build it so the pilot could fly right into it. At the time, the only consolation I can recall about that horrible day was that Eric Clapton was also supposed to be on the same helicopter, but he decided to stay behind to party some more instead.
