I can't imagine how the author could be willing to make himself more important
than a pop musician, or what that could ever mean, but as I fail to understand
how you could consider Harrison one of the greatest guitarists and also a
"spiritual guru" either, maybe we're just completely out of sync in terms of
personal references and that's it.
<< I am not just willing to forgive him his one lapse into the murky
territory of unconsciously (or even consciously) borrowing a riff from
another song (which in any case, he certainly raised above the level of just
another unsophisticated Motown love ditty), but am going to remain grateful
for his existence until the end of my own.
>>Christine:
<clap clap clap clap> ITA. I grow more appreciative of George Harrison's
contributions to the Beatles and to pop music with every passing year. RIP
to the "quiet Beatle."
I don't see how to "clap clap clap clap"someone who was caught STEALING someone
else's work, but that's, again, "out-of-sync personal references" I guess.
Bye,
Caio
