I Me Mine-The Extended Edition

Product Information

The book includes a foreword by his Cloud Nine co-producer, Jeff Lynne, and a written contribution from Elton John.

And others prefer the French, non-talking Beatle Marcel Marceau who always seems to find himself trapped in an invisible box, or endlessly pulling on a rope that no one can see. When O’Brien declared bankruptcy, George sought to block the declaration, ultimately unsuccessfully. Cherished by fans and collectors, I ME MINE is the closest we will come to George Harrison's autobiography.But I also didn't say how I wrote two lines of ' Come Together' or three lines of ' Eleanor Rigby', you know? During one long-haul flight while he was chanting under his breath, a cabin attendant innocently asked if he was ready for lunch. The wit and insight of Harrison's commentaries, and the beauty of his lyrics, make this an essential for any lover of his work.

In another example of “timing is everything,” this new biography comes as “the final” Beatles song --- “Now and Then” --- hits the scene. A philanderer who had an affair with a former bandmate’s wife and once had a guitar duel with Eric Clapton (also the subject of a Norman biography) over Pattie Boyd, Harrison’s first wife, whom Clapton fancied and later married. Most important, I had the generous help of his first wife, Pattie Boyd, a woman as free from bitterness as she is full of humour about their years together. I didn’t know his organization of the Concert for Bangladesh, album and video were the first money raising concert ever.If you’re a Beatles fan, if you enjoy music biographies, or if you just want to know more about a private man who lived much of his life in the spotlight, you won't be disappointed with George Harrison The Reluctant Beatle. He was still deeply rooted in music and working for social causes, putting together the Concert for Bangladesh to aid victims of famine and war in that beleaguered country.
