Oh, wicked. Wicked. You're wicked. Eh? Know what I mean. Know what I mean?
pure genius! Anytime people talk about Monty Python though, I tend to go off on a spiel about George! I'm so pleased that George had Monty Python as a way to show his high quality, wonderfully python-esque humour
This is a bit off topic, but I read somewhere (wish I could re-find where it was!) that whilst John and George thought the Rutles were really funny, Paul was really unamused by them, and found the whole thing irritating...! It didn't really suprise me though- he seems to have a different sense of humour- maybe it's just that it is less 'off the wall' ?!
But every so often you come across something truly inspiring...
Yes, it does seem odd because all the Beatles seem to share the same sense of humor. Maybe Paul thought it was taking the micky (which in some way it is) but i've always put the film down as a tribute to the Liverpool lads! I biught the Rutles DVD some time back & i was listening to Eric Idle's commentery where he said that, 'Linda McCartney loved the movie but never said anything about paul. George did say that, 'if you want to know about the Beatles, just watch the Rutles' !
HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY TO THE WHITE ALBUM! you say its your birthday!
Michael mentions the Live at City Center show that opened this thread. It's sad that George was apparently in poor health when he did his "Lumberjack" performance. George did seem to have recurring health problems throughout his life. Poor buddy. *hugs his memory*
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison
I've seen the second bit before, but never the first part with George as a pirate! Just thought I'd share the secret - forget rabbits (although they may be killers, Ah tell you!), George is a pirate!
