GEORGE HARRISON-NESS
Fall 2011 I began reading the book “Wonderful Tonight”, the autobiography about the famous mod model and rock star muse, Pattie Boyd. The ex-wife of the great George Harrison (not to mention Eric C.). A young ‘60’s english love story of the two meeting, falling in love, and creating this magnificent and exotic marriage, George Harrison is my new romeo. Now, I say “began reading” because I actually still haven’t finished it. I’m book marked right before the chapter of their divorce, & I can’t bare to make myself read it- so it sits in front of my tv. Now to Georgey. On my iTunes I only have one album of The Beatles, “Please Please Me”, my favorite one. I’ve NEVER been the girl to buy those Beatles shirts in Forever21/Urban or the pencil cases, or any other merch. simply because I wasn’t a fan, and it’s always everywhere, so it makes it less intriguing. BUT! ever since this book, I find myself in stores, picking out Beatles merch!! I even put them on my christmas list!! A giant coffee table book of the Beatles fashion. At KMart, I oogled over these beer mugs with their faces on them in an Andy Warhol style- I know- so chique of KMart. So my #11 music moment of the year goes to “George Harrison-ness” for making me fall for the Beatles.
