WARNING: IF GEORGE IS YOUR FAVORITE BEATLE AND YOU THINK YOU KNOW HIS TRUE CHARACTER, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. I'm nearing my 70th birthday, and was 15 when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan in February 1964. I immediately took up the guitar and was forever more a loyal and devoted fan. To this day, I love all their work, have all the music, in all the originals, re-issues, re-masters, and 50-year anniversary editions. My go-to station on Sirius-XM is Channel 18, the Beatles Channel. I have read at least a dozen books on the band, including two biographies (John and George). I can honestly say that I wasn't surprised by anything I read about John Lennon. But the George Harrison book just blew my mind. I thought he was "the Quiet Beatle." I thought he shunned drugs and alcohol due to his spiritual beliefs. I thought he had been married a couple of times but was basically a devoted husband. I thought he just wanted some peace and quiet, and wouldn't use his celebrity status to get things he wanted. After all, "things he wanted" went against his beliefs; he hated living in the material world. Right? NO, NO, NO, and NO!!! The real George was not someone in the middle, like one reviewer of this book claimed the author's premise was. The real George wanted to have his cake, and eat it too!! He wanted peace and quiet, unless he wanted to record something and would make phone calls to musicians in Los Angeles and tell them to come to London immediately, and bring whatever special equipment he wanted. He lost his taste for LSD early on, but he used Cocaine until the end of his life, because, well, he was George, and he could always get it. And he could drink anyone under the table, and was a mean drunk as well, letting people know exactly what he thought of them. And don't even get me started on his womanizing; ANYONE was fair game to him whether he or they were married.I absolutely loved this book because the real George I now know is NOT a paragon of spirituality. He's a flawed person, like all of us, and acts pretty much the way you'd expect normal people to act. He was a great guitar player, and some of his hooks and riffs will live forever. But he wasn't the best at anything; his fate was that he got on a rocket ship of fame, when all he really wanted was to play guitar in a band.
This book is good, but I find there are several things about it which I dislike. The best biographies are those written with a detached perspective on the subject, and in that regard Graeme Thomson is on track...although perhaps he is a little too detached. He seems to vacillate between great and open admiration and unconcealed contempt for George Harrison. His point, if I have read his book correctly, is that the proper view of George Harrison's talent, importance and impact lies somewhere in between. I have much more respect for George than this book would inspire in a less casual fan, I think. Towards the end there were quite a few errors in editing which likewise dimmed my view. For example, referring to the Beatles anthology CDs as three triple albums (they were 3 double albums) and misspelling in several places the acronym for ISKCON, which, if you are a George fan, (or biographer) is an amateur mistake.Mr. Thomson seems to hold the view, as most critics do, that George's best work was within 2 years of the end of the Beatles. I don't completely dispute that...but I am still holding out hope that a biographer (who is a little more detached than Simon Leng) will step up to the plate to argue for the rest of George's career. Thomson states plainly his belief that George Harrison's career reached its absolute pinnacle of greatness on August 1st, 1971, the Concert for Bangladesh. He goes on to argue that its all downhill from there.Obviously, I am biased, and a huge George fan, and there is no way that I could write a biography that wasn't overly slanted...so with this knowledge I have to look at Thomson's book for what it is...and I conclude that it is mostly pretty well written (much better written than Simon Leng's George love fest), and I appreciate the detail it does go into. I think he was very fair to George over the whole of the 1974-1975 period.....and in general my distaste for his views on George really only clash towards the last decade of George's life in these pages.I think this is a good read, and it was enjoyable to read. I feel like I learned more about George as a person. Unfortunately it doesn't always make George into the person I like to think he was, but maybe thats a good thing because it shows that he was as human as the rest of us. I think this book succeeds in really fleshing out the sometimes hard to penetrate life of George Harrison. I would recommend for the George fan who isn't afraid of the warts...but for those just starting to be interested in George, I think they should start with Simon Leng and therefore get a fuller picture of George's strengths before reading about some of the dark times.
I have admired George Harrison for a very long time. Although I was very young when the Beatles were popular during the 1960s, he was my favourite Beatle from the start. Being a deep-thinking, spiritually-oriented artist myself, I imagine I sensed the same in him even then.I had looked forward to reading this book. However, I'm halfway through it and am finding that I am more than a bit frustrated with Mr. Thomson's treatment of his subject. Rather than being called the "Quiet Beatle", it seems to me that he should have been called the "Underappreciated Beatle". Unfortunately, Mr. Thomson seems to make the same mistake George's bandmates did. He should be given high praise for his perseverance alone, given his treatment by Lennon & McCartney.And while George may have been a complicated individual (most creative people are) - not to mention an imperfect human being - I'm quickly growing tired of Mr. Thomson's snarky, snearing criticisms of almost everything about him. His characterization of George's spiritual journey as an escape from reality is particularly unfair. George's sincere beliefs were the foundation of his many acts of charity and kindness throughout his life. He has been an inspiration to me and many others. Most of us can only hope to accomplish as much good in our lifetimes.
