George taking a photograph from the side of the stage at a Crosby Stills Nash & Young concert at Wembley Stadium in September 1974 (photo by Gijsbert Hanekroot/Redferns/Getty Images); with David Crosby in 1967 (photo by Leslie Bryce); George and Stephen Stills in the studio, 1970 (scanned from the CD liner notes for Doris Troy‘s Apple Records album).

“I first met George in 1959. We kept in touch throughout our lives, meeting up over the years. I miss him very much. He was a good friend. He was a gentleman, and I don’t say that lightly.” - Graham Nash, Liverpool Echo, November 28, 2011

“Some of the stuff we did in the studio [for Troy’s self-titled Apple album], I’d be messing around on the piano and somebody would walk over and say, what is that? I’d say, this is what I got so far. And they’d go, okay, try this, try this, and that’s how come on the [songwriting credits] you see Ringo [Starr] on some of it, Stephen Stills on some of it, and George.” - Doris Troy, Unknown Legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll (1998)

"I’d worked on a Doris Troy album for Apple. And I was hanging out with George Harrison, Ringo and Eric Clapton, among others when I made my first solo album, Stephen Stills. Eric was coming by the house for a tickle, and a lot of work got done in between a two-year party at Ronnie Wood’s place. Not that Ronnie ever invited me. Going to Apple while The Beatles were breaking up was heavy for a kid from Florida. I’m in a studio with the fucking Beatles? Huh? It was very affirming when they told me: 'Go ahead and do your thing.' But then they’d say: 'But don’t get too successful. This is a small island, there’s not enough room at the top for everyone.'" - Stephen Stills, Louder, May 12, 2014

“George would invite me over for dinner. Actually, George was the one I connected with the most. He was my best friend in that band, although I'm still really good friends with Ringo.” - David Crosby, Music Radar, February 8, 2014

“[George] was my favorite Beatle” - David Crosby, Twitter, February 20, 2015

Q: “memory of George Harrison?” David Crosby: “Wonderful man” - Twitter, March 22, 2015

“They were much more real than we thought, and they were much nicer to us. And particularly George, who’s like, was just the nicest guy you could ask for. He was tough and he was smart and he didn’t kiss your butt, but he was — he was a kind human being, right? I became friends with George to the point where he started talking to me about stuff that mattered. I had just been turned on to Ravi Shankar. Somebody gave me his record, and I had it in my suitcase. And I gave it to George. And that had repercussions. He goes to India because he loves Indian music, and he meets this teacher, right? The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. […] And I wanted to tell him, ‘Take it with a grain of salt.’ Hell, I wanted to tell him, ‘Take it with a whole shaker full of salt,’ I wanted to say that to George, I wanted to say, ‘Be skeptical.’ […] I was afraid I’d blow the friendship, absolutely. Because he was so valuable to me, and the guy was — he knew everything that I needed to know, he was doing what I wanted to do, he was nice about it, he was, like, my hero. So I couldn’t tell him the truth. Well, so I wrote him a song, I wrote him a song called ‘Laughing.’” - Storytime With Seth Rogen, October 12, 2021 (x) (x)

Something that always bothers me is how people talk about Paul taking the role of the manager after Brian's death.

Yes, Paul took the initiative and managed a lot of the projects like MMT etc. and especially John and George were pissed off by this, but when you think about it for literally two seconds, you realize why Paul did it. He's always said how important the Beatles were to him, has called them his second family. He never expressed any interest in managing the band while Brian was still alive and after the Beatles broke up, his focus was always on making music, not the managing part of his job. Everyone makes him seem like this power hungry demon who was just waiting for his turn at the steering wheel, but there are so many things that point to him just trying to literally save what was most important to him: this band.

He's been known to throw himself into projects when grieving, mourning by not mourning. John was devastated by Brian's death and (I assume) in no fit state to think about what project would make the most money or whatever. While everyone was sitting on their asses (I know this is a mean way to put it, but I'm pissed off), Paul actually took matters into his own hands.

"He was too bossy". Was he bossy? Probably, yes. But someone fucking had to be, or the Beatles would have crashed and burned. I do understand why everyone wasn't happy with how things were going, George who already felt like the little brother who was sort of tagging along but not being taken seriously enough was obviously pissed that this "power dynamic" for lack of a better word was only increasing, and John, who had always been equal to Paul in literally anything didn't like the idea of Paul having power like that and being "above" him. But really, what would have been the better scenario? John managing the band? The same person who pissed off entire countries in like every second interview and had to make public statements and apologies about half the things he said? I think John was very smart and I find his wit and candor very endearing, but if he had been the one in charge, chances are the Beatles would have blown up. He's a fantastic artist, but not very smart about money etc etc, so not exactly the perfect fit for the role of a temporary manager. George? Perhaps he’s smarter about money (although he apparently didn’t understand the importance of paying taxes?) and publicity, but at that time he was completely infatuated with India, Hinduism and meditation and so on. I don't mean to say that was inherently bad, but I think Paul was the one with the most common sense. He knew how to charm the press to keep from getting into scandals (I mean, even when he was arrested for weed, he managed to sort of wiggle out of it. Nobody gave a shit). If Paul hadn’t been born a musical genius, I think being a manager would be a good fit for him. As for Ringo, I love the guy more than I can say but half the time in Get Back while decisions were being made he was completely zoned out, staring at walls. I honestly don't think he was very much interested in managing. So, perhaps a democratic regime where everyone gets a vote? Sure, if you want to get absolutely nothing done at all you let many people decide. I don't mean to sound like a monarchist, but I very much doubt an anarchistic management would have worked.

Now when you look at the years that came after, everyone was half in love with Allen Klein, but Paul was weary and didn't want to back down. And who turned out to be the Judas in this Bible? Allen fucking Klein. I don't mean to say Paul should have become the official manager, but I just find it baffling when people make it seem like he was trying to gain power over his best friends or whatever. There was no ideal outcome of this situation, because Brian was fucking dead. Of course it wasn't all peaches and cream. But there weren't (m)any scandals and they got a few albums done. That's, in my opinion, more than what would have happened if Paul had sat back and watched.

SMART BOMB

The Completely Unnecessary News Analysis

By Christopher Smart

Oct. 1, 2024

LIFE ELEVATED — TWENTY THOUSAND RUBBER CHICKENS

Utah and it's residents can be proud of a lot of things. True, the state legislature often acts like a bunch of circus monkeys, the state liquor store doesn't sell cold beer 'cause it would promote drinking and... well, the list goes on. But we have cool stuff, too. Wilson did you know that the first KFC was right here on Salt Lake City's State Street. True story. Think of it, Colonel Sanders is now worldwide — you can get drumsticks in Vietnam and India. Utah had the first department store — Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institution, aka ZCMI, and it's still here. A Utah native, Walter Fredrick Morrison, invented the Frisbee. But get this: Another native son, Philo T. Farnsworth, invented TV. You're right Wilson, that is big. Here's a shocker: Loftus International based in Salt Lake City sells some 20,000 rubber chickens each year. That's a lot of rubber chickens. Why don't we have that on our “Life Elevated” billboards. Utah, of course has many natural wonders but this is not one of them although it is notable. Lake Powell — it's actually a man-made reservoir — has more shoreline than the U.S. West Coast. (Put an asterisk here, it's drying up.) Imagine what might have been if when Brigham Young arrived at the Valley of the Great Salt Lake in 1847, a soothsayer had told him all this stuff would come true. Rather than saying, “This is the place,” he might have uttered something like, “Holy shit.” Then the edifice at the mouth of Emigration Canyon would be called the Holy Shit Monument. Just a thought.

RELAXED AND DEPRESSED? YOU MUST LIVE IN SALT LAKE CITY

If you're just checking in to see what condition you're condition is in you might be interested in a new study that finds Utah's capital is one of the most relaxed cities in America. Wilson and the guys in the band are just one example of how mellow and laid back we really are — unless driving or talking to missionaries. But there is a catch, according to a study by Ben's Natural Health that analyzed 31 U.S. cities. (We are not making this up.) It found that 22.7 percent of Salty City residents suffer from depression. Bummer. But Wilson does make a good point: How do you distinguish between “relaxed” and “depressed” — some depressed people look relaxed and vice versa. One metric might be the assumption that depressed people eat more ice cream and drink more Mountain Dew than other folks. By contrast, Salt Lakers who are simply relaxed but not depressed tend toward iced caramel macchiatos. Wilson would like to make another point about herbal self- medication, but we'll skip that for now. It's not all bad news: Salt Lake City is not in the top 10 for ice cream consumption. Some other places might be even more depressed. However, we are still Numero Uno when it comes to Bill Cosby's favorite desert — Jell-O! Leaving Jell-O vodka shooters aside, you've got to believe that's a good thing. It is our state snack, after all. And like Jell-O, we do jiggle a lot.

TRUMP E-BIKES — WORLD'S BEST — GET YOURS NOW!

Hey Wilson, do you need a new watch? You and the guys in the band might want to jump on this.The Trump Victory Tourbillion watch is only $100,000. It's a deal 'cause they're already historic. How many former presidents hawked watches? Just imagine how much they'll be worth later. On second thought, never mind. “Exciting” is the only way to describe the Trump World Catalogue: Bibles - $60; digital trading cards - $99 each; gold “Never Surrender” hightop sneakers $400; Trump coins - $100 each. But wait, there's more. Soon to be released, according to unnamed sources: Donald Trump E-Bikes! These Trumpozilla E-Bikes blow the competition away. All Trumpozilla bikes come standard with the heavy-duty Mar-A-Lago frame, Stormy-D disk brakes and unparalleled E. Jean Carroll drivetrain. It's a steal for only $7,999. And get this, they have Trump's signature in gold paint. And you'll be stylin' in your Trump Apparel spandex onesie. This beautiful unisex gold cycling outfit comes with Trump's name on the front, back and down the legs. And with the purchase of any Trumpozilla E-Bike you get the onesie for only $499. Be the envy of your red state neighborhood. Get 'em while supplies last. Next week look for Don's Cheater Championship golf clubs. You'll never shoot a bad round again.

Post script — That's a wrap for another beautiful week here at Smart Bomb where we keep track of LDS general authorities, so you don't have to. Here's an interesting headline from The Salt Lake Tribune: “He’s a Democrat and an environmentalist. How did he end up an LDS general authority?” Just shocking! Here in Zion, Democrats and environmentalists are thought to be in league with Beelzebub. The headline more than suggests a liberal tree-hugger. Of course, we're talking about Steven E. Snow, the former historian for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He once said climate change is real and he still has a Temple Recommend. This could be a breakthrough Wilson. Other Mormon environmentalist might think it's safe to come out of the closet. They might say stuff like, it's OK to save the Great Salt Lake. Well, maybe that's going a little too far. If God wanted to save the lake he'd tell legislators that it's time to stop using Bear River water to grow alfalfa that is shipped to China. Maybe start with something a little less in your face, like regulations aimed at reducing industrial pig-farm waste. It's a slippery slope (no pun intended). Here's a headline from the Deseret News: “Former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake ( a Mormon) explains his endorsement of Kamala Harris.” Next these rebels will be singing “This Land Is Your Land,” a known socialist anthem directly in conflict with free market capitalism. What's next, Social Security and Medicare? Oh wait...

Well Wilson, your pal Kris Kristofferson has ridden off into the sunset after 88 years on planet Earth. He was one helluva singer/songwriter and a good movie actor to boot. One of his many songs became a popular anthem that still resonates today, “Me and My Bobby McGee” — made famous by his friend and fellow Texan, Janis Joplin. So what do you say Wilson, get the band off their duffs and let's send old Kris off in style:

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train I was feeling near as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained And rode us all the way to New Orleans I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now And feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues You know feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holding Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah And feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee (Me and My Bobby McGee — Kris Kristofferson)

David Crosby visiting The Beatles in the studio during Sgt. Pepper sessions, 1967; photos by Leslie Bryce.

In memoriam: David Crosby. Condolences to his loved ones.

“George would invite me over for dinner. Actually, George was the one I connected with the most. He was my best friend in that band, although I'm still really good friends with Ringo.” - David Crosby, Music Radar, February 8, 2014

“[George] was my favorite Beatle" - David Crosby, Twitter, February 20, 2015

Q: “memory of George Harrison?” “Wonderful man” - David Crosby, Twitter, March 22, 2015

“Towards the end of that year [1965] I’d kept hearing the name of Ravi Shankar. I heard it several times, and about the third time it was a friend of mine who said, ‘Have you heard this person Ravi Shankar? You may like the music.’ So I went and bought a record and that was it: I thought it was incredible.” - George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology (2000)

David Crosby: “They were much more real than we thought, and they were much nicer to us. And particularly George, who’s like, was just the nicest guy you could ask for. He was tough and he was smart and he didn’t kiss your butt, but he was — he was a kind human being, right? I became friends with George to the point where he started talking to me about stuff that mattered. I had just been turned on to Ravi Shankar. Somebody gave me his record, and I had it in my suitcase. And I gave it to George. And that had repercussions. He goes to India because he loves Indian music, and he meets this teacher, right? The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. […] I don’t really buy religion at all, it just never rang true to me.[…] And I wanted to tell him, ‘Take it with a grain of salt.’ Hell, I wanted to tell him, ‘Take it with a whole shaker full of salt,’ I wanted to say that to George, I wanted to say, ‘Be skeptical,’ right, and I couldn’t because it was George.” Q: “What did you think would happen, he would just be like, 'F*** you, how dare you tell me something like that?'” DC: “Yeah, yeah, I was afraid I’d blow the friendship, absolutely. Because he was so valuable to me, and the guy was — he knew everything that I needed to know, he was doing what I wanted to do, he was nice about it, he was, like, my hero. So I couldn’t tell him the truth. Well, so I wrote him a song, I wrote him a song called ‘Laughing.’ And basically what it says is, I thought that I met somebody who told me that they knew what was going on, you know, and were telling me that story. And, and I listened, but I don’t really think that’s the way it is. I think the wisest person I ever saw was probably a child, laughing, playing in the sun. And I don’t even know if George heard it, let along was moved by it. But it generated one of my best songs, I don’t think there’s any question it’s one of the best things I wrote.” Q: “Why do you consider it one of the best songs you’ve ever written?” DC: “Because it makes me cry. (laughs)” Q: “Did George ever talk to you about the song at all? Even just to say he liked it? Or in general?” DC: “I heard that he did. I don’t know that for sure. But I, I heard that he did. And I hope he did.” - Storytime with Seth Rogen, Singalong (episode no. 2), October 12, 2021

Aside from hanging out at George’s house, they also spent time hanging out and jamming together in Los Angeles (more on that later this year). (x)

5 Different Types of Boots for Men to Style Themselves in Coming Festive Season

Boots are that essential and versatile component of any man's outfit, bringing together style, durability, and comfort. We shall have a comprehensive presentation of five types of men's boots with a special look at the Chelsea boot and Chukka boot. For buying the Best Chelsea Boots for Men, and all the different types of Boots, visit Bennetic.

1. Chelsea Boots:

History and Origin:

The Chelsea boots originated from Victorian times and were invented in the year 1851 by the shoemaker to Queen Victoria, J. Sparkes-Hall. They became quite popular in the 1960s due mainly to the British Band The Beatles who frequently provided these eyepieces.

Design:

Chelsea boots are created up to the ankle, and they have, on the side seam, an elastic insert that creates a sleek look and feel, and allows for an easy slip-in. In most cases, there is a loop or a tab at the back part of the boot intended for the pulling on type. It is typically dome shaped and is often round although it could be pointed or even square toed.

Materials:

High Heel Chelsea Boots Men are made of leather or suede. They can, therefore, be worn in many colors, but black and brown are always the most traditional ones. This is a high-quality version fitted with a leather sole. For more everyday uses, this element may be of rubber.

Tips for Styling:

The Chelsea boot is extremely versatile, so it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For smart-casual, black leather Chelsea boots go nice with dark jeans, a blazer, or any other formal outfit. On less dressy occasions, brown suede Chelsea boots will look nice with chinos or slim-fit jeans and a chunky sweater.

Why Choose Chelsea Boots?

Timeless by design, Chelsea boots are easy to wear and have been a sure mainstay in any wardrobe. They lend finesse to almost any outfit while exuding comfort in wear, suitable for the whole day.

2. Desert Boots:

History and Origination: 

Desert boots are a specific style of Chukka boot, personally designed by the Clarks shoe company's Nathan Clark in 1949. He drew inspiration from the boots worn by the troops of Britain during the Western Desert Campaign in World War II. They became very popular within a very short period of time due to reasons pertaining to comfort and style.

Design:

3. Water Resistance: A waterproofing wristwatch is a necessity if you are doing swimming more often or if you have an outdoor job. This does away with the possibility of water and other damages as you follow your activity.

You should wear a smartwatch that appears stylish but is also comfortable, because you’re likely going to have it on all day. There are diverse customisable smartwatches that you may choose the band of your preferred style.

Furthermore, especially at the end of a quarter, the online platforms usually release special promotions and offers, the best time to grab that amazing deal.

Reflections Final

A wristwatch may well be the hand held gadget of choice that lets you keep you in touch when you’re on the move, monitor your fitness or both. It has never been easier in India to find the perfect solution to a problem due to the many options available on the Web. Thus, why hold out?

Teeny tiny modern jily band AU

slutty James, ohh how I love him.

Lily knew the band. Of course she knew the band. Every human in their right mind knew the Marauders, some more than others, but she definitely knew them. But Lily was smart, and most importantly, she was smug. She would never admit to liking said band, certainly not when flirting with the stupid bassist after a show.

“Oh, yeah, you played right after us, pretty cool set, very fun.” She said, monotonously as ever.

“Yeah, you’re the redheaded drummer.” James answered, raising his eyebrows. “You’re pretty hard to miss.”

“Oh, really? Thanks.” She smiled smugly.

“Yeah, strangely there are not many redheads around here, you’d think the Scots would be a little bit more relevant.”

“I’m not Scottish, but thanks for trying!” She threw him a fake smile before immediately leaving to find her bandmates. Stupid prick, why would he ever call her a fucking Scot?

Unable to find quite literally anyone, she just headed to the bar, anxious to get a rum and coke.

“Drummer, not Scottish, and very cultured in the beverage industry, I like it.” James winked at her as he sat down next to her.

“Why are you still here?” She asked seriously.

“Oh come on, it was a stupid joke, I’m sorry I called you a Scot, let me buy you this drink to apologize.” He pleaded.

“Why?”

“Well, you seem very interesting, I like your Greenpeace shirt and all my friends are fucking so I need someone to talk to.”

“Real charmer, James.”

“Well, looky, she knows my name! I feel I’ve won already.” He joked and she laughed despite her best efforts not to. “So tell me about yourself, I know you aren’t Scottish,”

“right”.

“You’re a drummer and your name is…” he waited for her response.

“Lily.”

“Lily, beautiful name, my mother loves Lily’s, I hope that means she’ll love you too.” He winked once again.

“Do you always flirt like this? Because it’s so not working.” She said, turning to fully look at him.

“Well, you’re still here, so it’s got to mean something, right?”

Maybe he’d been right. Maybe not. Maybe her friends were also fucking and she needed someone to talk to, but the answer was unclear. Even to her.

“Tell me something about you, James”

“Well,” he begun “born and raised in Liverpool, immigrant grandparents and old parents so they let me get away with this-“ he said moving his hands around the air “-band thing.”

“Immigrated from?” She inquired

“Australia.” He said in a deadpan manner. “Just kidding, India.”

“My sister is living in India, doing her masters in culinary arts and history.”

“Shiit, that’s so fucking cool, I’m shit at cooking but my mother is literally the best cook in the world.” He said savoring every word as if they contained pieces of his mother’s cooking.

“And do you always talk so much about your mother to strange girls?” Lily joked.

“Oh Lily, you are no strange girl, I feel as if I’ve known you for centuries already.” He smiled proudly. Bitch.

“Oh fuck off.” Lily laughed as she turned to the barman to ask for a refill.

“My tab.” James interrupted “See, if you were a strange girl I would never pay for two consecutive drinks.”

“Oh no, I bet the smug bassist never flirts with girls by paying for their drinks, because it’s soo unheard of.” She said sarcastically.

“And why the sarcastic tone young lady?”

“Young lady? How old do you think I am?” She asked incredulously

“21?”

“23. You?”

“Same age, must be fate.” He smiled

“Jesus H. Christ, don’t you ever get tired of being so shameless?”

“With a strange girl like you? I would never tire,” he answered taking a sip of his drink “in more ways than one.”

“Oh really?” She smiled playfully.

“Yeah, really.”

“And what ways are those?”

“Ah, secrets of men, a magician never reveals his tricks and yadayada.” He awkwardly answered before chugging his drink.

“Coward.” She teased.

“You know what? Changed my mind, to you, I can reveal all of my tricks.”

Jesus men are easy. “What made you change your mind?” She answered before carefully placing her drink on her lips and taking a long sip.

“Your confidence, I like that in a woman. No,” he corrected himself before smirking “I need that in a woman. Preferably one who’s a smoking hot drummer. Oh and she cannot be Scottish.”

“Well then, it’s a shame there are none here.” She said before turning to the barman once again, just to tease James.

“Ah fuck, I must have been imagining you then.” He laughed.

“Probably.”

“I mean, you are the woman of my dreams, so it’s not unheard of.” He winked. Why did he wink so much.

“Oh. My. God. Shut Up!” She smiled (and lightly blushed) as she turned to face him once again.

“I have a few ideas on how we can do that.” James said getting closer to her.

“Anything to do with those tricks of yours?”

“If I’m lucky,” he said looking down at her lips.

All Lily managed to do was chuckle before he closed the tiny gap between them. What a shameless boy, making out with a strange girl in front of everyone, so shameless she almost began to laugh, but she definitely couldn’t, he was too hot to ruin kissing him in such a stupid way.

As the kissing progressed, she began to get redder and redder, unsure if anyone was looking at them. If there was, she could die right there and then, so naturally, she pulled out and chugged her drink.

“Oh wow, smoking hot, amazing kisser and a strong drinker, you know, every second i’m more sure you’re the woman i’ve been dreaming of for so long.” James laughed.

Lily didn’t answer, she just hoped he wouldn’t want anything else from her. She wouldn’t be able to take it, and ahe liked him too much already.

“Look, i’ve gotta run, my stupid Sirius child is calling and apparently it’s life or death, but it’s been a pleasure meeting you,” James said as he stood up and paid for his tab. “Here’s my number, call me.”

Lily smiled, still unable to say anything, that was until he almost left. She grabbed a napkin and began scribbling down before chasing him out. “James! You call me, I hate making first moves.” She laughed.

“Sure thing, babes.” James winked at her one last time.

“I’ll be waiting!”

“Check your phone gorgeous. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
