Sometimes called 'the quiet Beatle', Harrison embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation of.

The song by George Harrison and the poem by Robert Frost are heavily symbolic. There is another side to the conversation, but we do not get to hear it the singer is grateful for the many-roaded ride thus far, and is neither asking for more parts to the journey nor turning down any more rides on any more roads.Which isn’t deep at all and contains an entire life at the same time. A real Cheshire Cat trick from George Harrison. He was also stabbed 40 times in a house invasion about two years before his death.So George Harrison’s late 1990s was a period in which the “material world,” as he once called the here and now, appeared to be a genuinely unpleasant place, one that no longer wanted him around, but he retained a sharp wit about it anyway. Asked about his attacker, Harrison said that he “clearly wasn’t auditioning for the Traveling Wilburys.” (The attacker suffered from untreated schizophrenia and was found not guilty of attempted murder by reason of insanity.)Working on his music through all of this, Harrison finished enough tracks to have a rough cut of a full album, but he finally ran into the ultimate deadline when cancer was found in his brain and he was given weeks to live. He wrote out instructions for his son, Dhani, and musical collaborator, Jeff Lynne, and they produced his final work, the farewell album Brainwashed, which they released a year after his death, in 2002.(In 2016, the farewell album became something of its own genre, its own section in the music store stacks, with the addition of David Bowie’s Blackstar and Leonard Cohen’s You Want It Darker.)James Boswell reported that Samuel Johnson once said, “Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” Many variations of this quip are bouncing around literature, some of which credit Boswell, some Johnson, and some no one: “Death concentrates the mind.” It is one of those sentences that does not beg for an author because it feels like a thought that no one would be the first to think.The great music critic, Robert Christgau, used a variation of the phrase in his one-sentence review of Brainwashed: “Say this for death—it focuses the mind.” Christgau was no Harrison fan his review of the triple album, 23-track, All Things Must Pass reads: “He’s never been good for more than two songs per album,” which was a reference to Harrison’s usual Beatles contribution per album.
