Question

[barkinmad]

Does anyone know of any really good biographies of George Harrison? I know some must exist, and I could search for them myself, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a solid recommendation.


...He might be surpassing Paul. MAYBE. I just identify with him a lot, I think.

I know about I Me Mine (I mean I forgot, but it was there subconsciously) and I like autobiographies and all, but I tried reading Dylan's and you can imagine how that turned out. I will try it though, and maybe look at Behind Sad Eyes Dark Horse? Because the Rolling Stone description doesn't seem broad enough.

The Rolling Stone thing was not too bad. It was like they took all of the times he was in the magazine and put them in a coffee table book. So, if I remember correctly, it was a bunch of rare interviews (from from 1968 to 1987, so mainly post-Beatle) and pictures and stuff (like essays by all of these famous people. Dylan, Yoko.. you know.) It must have been written post-death, because Olivia wrote the forward. It was a quick read... and way lighter than The Beatles, that thing was murder on my bag-carrying shoulder.

A Dylan autobiography? I have a hard enough time dealing with his music, so I can only imagine what a book would be like. I did try to read Clapton's though. It was good, but I slacked off and had to return it before I finished.
