“I’d like to thank Rudy Clark, who was the guy who actually wrote it [‘Got My Mind Set On You’] years ago and nobody actually noticed it at that time. It was lodged at the back of my brain, and I know I did the sort of pop version of it, Rudy, but if you’re listening, I love it, and we chopped that bit out the middle that we didn’t like and got rid of the screaming girls, but it was a great song, actually, it was a great song.” - George Harrison, Rockline, February 1988 “[‘Got My Mind Set On You,’ recorded by James Ray, was] written by this guy who discovered James Ray, a former mailman named Rudy Clark. [...] Jim Keltner got this drum pattern going one day that was a cross between swing and rock. Gary Wright turned around and said, ‘Hey! Doesn’t that remind you of that song, ‘Got My Mind Set On You?’ [laughter] I was so surprised that anybody else had *ever* heard that tune!” - George Harrison, Musician, November 1987 “My boy [Dhani], while we were recording it [Got My Mind Set On You], he kept saying, That’s the single.” - George Harrison,In The Studio With Redbeard, 1987

I feel like the quotes about Paul and Linda from John's St. Regis Hotel interview (Sept. 5, 1971) get so much attention that it's easy to miss some of the more minor wtfery:

John: So now I feel like going out on the road. I feel like going out with Yoko, and taking a really far-out show on the road, a mobile, political, rock and roll show, a mobile, political Plastic Ono Bandshow. . . . Yoko: With clowns as well. John: . . . and have something going on in the foyer, and something going on in the audience, and not just everything on stage. Int.: When you say political, what do you mean exactly? John: Well, I mean political, because everything I do is political. I would take people with me who could speak to the kids, who could speak to them in the foyer, catch them on the way out. Panthers. Weathermen. They can hand all their gear out.

Pour one out for the tour that never happened, featuring John and Yoko on the road with the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, and clowns.

“When I talk about George, sometimes I feel like I’m making him sound too much like he was a saint. By no means was the man a saint! Over the years with him and John, they could both be really brutal with Paul. I learned very early on that I couldn’t join them. They both on different occasions said, ‘We can say that, but you shouldn’t.’ They were truly brothers who loved taking the piss out of each other, but they didn’t want anybody else doing it.”

On the cover of Muziek Expres, 1974.

“[T]he pressure I got under that year [1974] was ridiculous. I went through so many things: produced two other albums, Shankar Family and Friends, and The Place I Love by Splinter. And I produced an Indian musical festival, which had taken me years to get together, with 15 or 16 classical Indian musicians all playing ensemble, like an orchestra—which they never do. In India you see solo players or two performers with a tabla player. In 1974 I went to India, got them all together, they came to Europe, Ravi wrote all the material. It rocked. Then came my own album and this tour I had lined up. And I also met my wife [Olivia] around then. I wrote the song ‘Dark Horse’ in the studio with Ringo and [Jim] Keltner and I never got to finish it. I took this half-finished album with me to tour rehearsals in Los Angeles and got my voice blown out by singing all day long.” - George Harrison, Musician, November 1987 Q: “You met your wife, Olivia, at the end of what seems to have been a pretty low period for you personally – 1974.” George Harrison: “Yeah, well after I split up from Patti[e] [Boyd], I went on a bit of a bender to make up for all the years I’d been married. If you listen to ‘Simply Shady,’ on Dark Horse, it’s all in there —my whole life at that time was a bit like [laughing] Mrs. Dale’s Diary [a now defunct British radio soap opera].” Q: “Were you going down fast?” GH: “Well, I wasn’t ready to join Alcoholics Anonymous or anything — I don’t think I was that far gone — but I could put back a bottle of brandy occasionally, plus all the other naughty things that fly around. I just went on a binge, went on the road... all that sort of thing, until it got to the point where I had no voice and almost no body at times. Then I met Olivia and it all worked out fine. There’s a song on the new album, ‘Dark Sweet Lady’: ‘You came and helped me through/When I’d let go/You came from out the blue/Never have known what I’d done without you.’ That sums it up.” - Rolling Stone, April 19, 1979 (x)
