Happy 45th belated birthday Dhani Harrison! ☀️

“ It’s funny, because music is one of those things it is natural to go into. You hear it so much growing up, it kind of permeates you and eventually you spew out some music of your own.” ~Dhani Harrison

“I guess I got lucky, because I got George Harrison! You know, it's good music, and I'm honored to be a part of his legacy. And also, we made so much music together, and spent so much time in the studio at my house in Friar Park, in Henley where I grew up. The studio was directly below my bedroom, so my floor has rattled my whole life. I would always go downstairs and just see what was going on. I remember the Traveling Wilburys there. So, I was very comfortable in the studio, and I kind of grew up learning how to produce and play. For me, it was facilitated very much by my dad, and we were best friends, so spending a lot of time in the studio with him was natural.” -NPR music interview, February 28, 2016

“My son looks more like George Harrison then I do.” -George Harrison

“Shortly after Dhani was born Ravi and Alla Rakha took the train over to visit us [George, Olivia and Dhani], and I picked them up at Reading. They came over to see the baby, and Ravi wrote a tune called ‘Dhani.’ The name 'Dhani’ actually came from my study of Indian music: from the scale of Sa-Ri-Ga-Ma-Pa-DHA-NI-Sa. So he wrote this song, and Alla Rahka played on one half of the tabla, the bayan.” - George Harrison, Raga Mala (1997) -source from Harrison Archive ***

I apologize for forgetting your birthday Dhani, please forgive me. I had no time to make you this but I decided to give you a late birthday message, have a amazing belated birthday and thank you for everything that you do. By the way, you still look exactly like your father, George Harrison ☀️🕊️🎸🙏 and that’s awesome!

Peace and love Dhani😎✌️☮️❤️✨🌈🌻⭐️

There's a lot of conversation about how George was the youngest Beatle and how age affected the group dynamic but in order to actually understand any of this you have to realize that spiritually and emotionally George was the middle child. And being in the exact middle of four shouldn't even be possible, but he was just that middled.

Somehow that ongoing 1,500,000+ word The Beatles Paul McCartney x John Lennon fanfiction I read includes like the most absolute minuscule details of the Beatles lore, like tiny little things where I was like "that can't be real" but I looked it up and it was (IE a guy claiming to be Jesus Christ barging in on one of their recording sessions). But it does NOT include the apparently real group masturbation sessions

Caught up in the thrill of celebration [after the telegram from Capitol Records about 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' being number 1 in the US], the bandmates took turns climbing onto Mal's back, with the big man parading them around the room. "They went mad!" Mal recalled. "They always act this way when anything big happens - just a bunch of kids, jumping up and down with sheer delight. Paul climbed on my back demanding a piggyback. They felt that this was the biggest thing that could have happened. Gradually, they quieted down, ordered some more drinks and sat down to appreciate fully what had happened."

On Sunday, February 9, the day of the [Ed Sullivan Show] broadcast, the band received a congratulatory telegram from Elvis and Colonel Tom Parker. Paul couldn't help ribbing Mal, saying, "You're his biggest fan, Mal, how come you didn't get a good luck telegram?" As the roadie looked on, "the whole episode ended up with the boys fighting about who was going to keep it as a souvenir."

As usual, the boys enjoyed teasing their roadie - at one point, George placed plastic cups inside Mal's shirt pockets, which the Beatle then irreverently filled with milk. In a tenderhearted moment, John announced to Mal that "after sarnies [British slang for 'sandwiches'], you are my favorite animal."

As with the other members of the entourage, Mal felt Ringo's absence [during the beginning of the '64 world tour] acutely. During their flight to the Continent, the Beatles resorted to humor, their favorite balm, to make light of their predicament. "The boys really had fun at the pilot's expense, as he didn't know Ringo wasn't present and kept asking for his autograph," Mal remembered. "George jumped in at one point and said to Paul, 'Go on, Ringo - give him your autograph. Don't be mean!'"

I do not have the time nor wish to spend the effort to do this but I think the best way to get back at really stupid fandom discourse or annoying reblogs would be to create one of those "yourfave" blogs with something that's not inherently problematic but is broadly unpopular on Tumblr (eg: golfing; liking the Beatles; and similar behaviors) and then just repeatedly making posts with that person's favorite characters. Have all questions and submissions off on the blog. do not respond to any criticism in any way other than to check the blog of the person bothering you and then make a post saying their fave golfs. Do not think about whether this is an accurate assessment of their fave; that is not the point. The point is to see if they fall for the most obvious, idiotic bait.

The Show Must Go Wrong: A collection of Paul McCartney quotes for your consideration

“That whole period weighed on me to such an extent that I even began to think it was all tied in with the idea of original sin. Even though my mum had christened me as a Catholic, we weren’t brought up Catholic, so I didn’t buy into the concept of original sin on a day-to-day basis. It’s really very depressing to think that you were born a loser.”

— Paul McCartney, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present (2021), on “Carry That Weight”

“‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ was my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life.”

— Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now (1997) by Barry Miles

Q: What scares you?

McCARTNEY: I suppose the way you can’t nail life down. You grow up thinking that if you learn enough stuff and get the right education then you’ll be able to nail life. I’ll know what’s going on. One thing you discover is that the goalposts are always changing. The rules change. The world changes. When that happens, you realize you still don’t have a clue. And it shocks you. You think, “I don’t have the information I need to deal with this.” That scares me.

VICE, A Pure Conversation with Paul McCartney, Interview by Joe Zadeh, June 13th, 2016

“It’s rather serious — life. And you can’t live as if you have nine lives. I find myself doing that often. I think everybody does, saying in his mind, ‘I’ll get it tomorrow.’ But I can’t do that anymore. Take One with the Beatles should have been like I said, with a puff of smoke and magic robes and envelopes. But we missed Take One, so now we do Take Two. And in the disappointment of Take Two — I feel I can always find something good in the bad — the good thing is that it really has made me come to terms more with my life.”

— Paul McCartney, LIFE Magazine, April 16th, 1971

"At school in London, I was quite chatty and sociable. I was curious about people and wanted to know their personal stories. On holiday, in seclusion in Scotland, I could become more introspective. I'd ride off into the hills for adventures on my new pony, Sugar Foot." Mary McCartney🍀🍀🖤
