それでも付き合いたての蜜月期はハンブルクからジョンは度々手紙を送り、それは目にしたミミが卑猥だと激怒するほど明け透けにラブラブなものだった。その手紙や、ジョンと愛し合ったという事実は永遠にシンシアだけのもの。ジョンの妻という重責、それでもそれはかけがえのない日々だったろうな pic.twitter.com/XWB9VftkVW

Nothing I Love More than Old Beatles Sites

Live long, my angels.

what if I just jump off a bridge

“With his long hair, pointy shoes, pink shirt and yellow waistcoat, George made a habit of tagging along with John and Cynthia wherever they went.”

"It was on such days as these that John and I would leave the college portals hand in hand for an afternoon at the cinema or a bus ride to see Aunt Mimi in Woolton, just happy being in each other's company for a while. It wouldn't be for long, though. Wandering along lost to the world we would be brought down to earth with a bump by a piercing whistle or yell from behind us that could only mean one thing-

George.

-

'Hi John, Hi Cyn.' He would hurriedly catch up to us and then it would be, 'Where are you two off to? Can I come?' Neither of us would have the heart to tell this thin gangly kid in school uniform to push off. Poor George! He hadn't really got to the stage of serious girlfriends yet and was totally unaware of what it was all about, Alfie! So we would spend the lost afternoon as a jolly threesome, wondering what on earth we were going to do with ourselves."

Wait what happened on December 14th 1974 ?

tl;dr is during John’s “Lost Weekend” on that date George showed up to see John before playing some of his last dates for his infamous Dark Horse tour and blew up at him; the next night after the show, George felt really bad and was forgiven

excerpt from May Pang’s 1983 book Loving John about December 14-15, 1974:

some additional info for anyone interested:

in Chris O’Dell’s book Miss O’Dell she talks about how after the show on December 15th, George and John talked backstage about old times

a few days later a radio interview aired on December 21st, 1974 around 9:30am of John and George where they seem to be intoxicated and/or extremely tired, as the interview was done at 5am x x

the night before this interview was broadcast and presumably taped, George played his last show of the Dark Horse tour at Madison Square Garden and partied with John, May, and assumingely Olivia as well; so it would make sense for them to be tired in that interview x

hope this was informative and useful !!!!

Drawings by Paul McCartney of John Lennon and George Harrison | 1967

You can immediately spot John Lennon’s sideburns and glasses, as well as George Harrison’s distinctive hair and eyebrows. The artist of the exquisite pen sketch? Their bandmate Paul McCartney.

It was 55 years ago today (or thereabouts) when the Beatle was asked by the journalist Hunter Davies how Lennon and Harrison had looked when they played in their previous incarnation, the Quarrymen. Rather than answer the question, McCartney grabbed a notebook and drew them.

JAY LENO: Who was the best cuddler?

RINGO: Ohhh. Georgie loved a hug.

“We’d walk down Lilly Lane which was like a lovers’ lane and kiss and cuddle.” - Iris Caldwell 

“He was just standing there. Little George, all lost. I gave him a big bag of sweets and some apples. He threw his arms around me and Stu, which was the sort of demonstrative thing they never did.’" - Astrid Kirchherr

“George giving me a bear hugggg. My first time in London and…what a welcome!!! ‘It’s Klaus!’ George Harrison called, setting his guitar aside and walking toward me to give me a firm hug.” - Klaus Voormann

“I was surprised to see how affectionate he was with Olivia, holding hands, heads touching as they talked, snuggling up next to her at every opportunity…” - Chris O’Dell

“Olivia was in the room and asked Madeleine her name. The next thing [Madeleine] knew, George was walking across the room directly to her, and as if they were old friends, put his arms around her! She was so overwhelmed and she automatically put her arms around him and hugged him back.” - A fan

“Even hugging George was a psychedelic experience, what a gem of a man. Love him forever.” - Dave Stewart

“George was the kind of guy who wasn’t going to leave until he hugged you for five minutes and told you how much he loved you.” - Tom Petty

“Just a few months after his death, I was in Bungalow 8, a New York club that Paul Shaffer dragged me to, when I noticed a skinny fellow who was the spitting image of George - only young George - coming right toward me. Before I could say anything this young man embraced me in a tender hug and then pulled back to explain himself. ‘I’m Dhani Harrison,’ he said. ‘One of the last things my father told me was that if I ever come across people who were important to him, I should give them a hug.’” - Martin Short
