George Harrison and Friends

the actual name on billboards at MSG for The Concert For Bangledesh...the first ever really big live event to raise money for humanitarian efforts...

thanks to Ravi Shankar for bringing the backstory of refugees to George 's attention, although the concerts only raised $250,000 via tix sales (and lost money overall) , sales from the movie grossed over $12 mill...and more importantly started an awareness in the music industry that they had an avenue to help...paved the way for Farm Aid, Live Aid, We Are The World, No Nukes...the list is endless...

nov 29, 2001 we lost a shining star...seems like yesterday when i heard the news ;(

1988.....it was nelson wilburys idea, (along w one or two others depending on which "stories" are accurate) to start "The Traveling Wilburys"...

I listen to George Almost as much as i listen to Jerry...(almost being key)

love is real, not fade away

16 years ago yesterday....
