I gotta say this. I cant not.
I was a big fan of GH esq. Until the moment he put down his instrument and left the stage at the concert for Bangladesh. Shortly followed by Eric Clapton, leaving the other guys to play out without him. The George Harrison show. It was either a complete misjudgement on his part, or a demonstration that he had at least a partly personal motivation for doing what he did. A completely selfless individual would not have done that.
The first time I ever watched the CfB from the beginning to the end with an entire group of friends, nearly all of us professional players and big Beatles and Harrison fans completely. When he walked off the stage alone followed by Clapton, the entire room said "Whats that all about".
I still love his music however. And hope that it was someone elses suggestion that he left the stage, it really made the whole thing look as it was planned to be about him rather than Bangladesh.
Sorry. Dont lynch me.
