Bonnie MacLean

"One of the GREAT Artists of the Psychedelic sixties left this worldly plane with the passing of Bonnie MacLean on February the 4th, 2020 in Newtown, Pennsylvania.

During the early days of the Fillmore, Bonnie was the most "present" member of the staff. She collected tickets, passed out handbills, blew up balloons and counted money for Fillmore productions. Impressed with her lettering skill on the upcoming attractions chalkboards, Bill Graham (who she later married 1967-1975), surprised her with an easel and art supplies for Christmas, 1967, and her poster artist career was launched. Untrained in graphic arts, her early style evolved into ornate, Medieval-Gothic designs. Faces in her posters wore trance-like stares, steady and serene, and evoke the detached spirituality of the sixties.

Bonnie continued creating artwork to the end.... She will certainly be remembered as one of the True Pioneers of our Psychedelic Poster past."

“My dad’s favorite number was 7, and a lot of things that he did were according to the number 7, whether he meant it or not. That was the highest honor I could have given a track on the album [Brainwashed], to put it track 7.” - Dhani Harrison, Brainwashed EPK

Track no. 7 series: “Here Comes The Sun” —

“That was the period after we formed Apple Company, and it didn’t really have any direction or proper management. And we kept having to go to work, like having office jobs — and this to me was new, having just been on the road and in recording studios. I didn’t like this idea, and so one day I decided to play hooky or whatever you call it, and not go to the office. And so I just went right out into the country instead, to Eric’s house. And it was right after a real cold winter, as well. And that’s what happened: Here Comes The Sun. And I’m just walking around the garden playing the guitar, and that song came about!” - George Harrison, Goldmine, November 1992

“I thought ‘Here Comes The Sun’ was the happiest, simplest, clearest wishing well for the world of all the songs that they [The Beatles] had ever done. It is a message for all of us. The sun is going to come up tomorrow, no matter what. You’ve got to be prepared, it’s going to be all right. Things are not as hard as you’re making it. That was the message of the time that needed to be heard. I said that to George and he said, ‘It is a song about finding the light, the real light, the sun.’” - Richie Havens, British Beatles Fan Club, 2011 (x)
