George Harrison Quotes
These are some quotations from an Associated Press interview with George Harrison earlier this year.
On the success of the Beatles’ greatest hits CD, “1:” “The thing that pleases me the most about it is that young people like it. It’s given kids from 6 to 16 an alternate view of music to what’s been available for the past 20 years.
“I think the popular music has gone truly weird. It’s either cutesy-wutesy or it’s hard, nasty stuff. It’s good that this has life again with the youth.”
“If a car comes past me in a traffic jam with a boom box going, I jump out of my skin. Those big booming basses. I’m just more sensitive to noise these days.”
On his recovery from the December 1999 stabbing attack: “I feel pretty good. You know, it’s a difficult thing to get over. But I feel like I’ve gotten over it physically. My breathing is a little bit less percentage than it used to be. Other than that, I’m pretty cool.”
On the reissue of his first solo effort, “All Things Must Pass:” “It was the biggest thrill in a way that it was my first record. To be able to do all my own songs on one record was a novelty at that point, you know.”
“Only the fact that people have written about the reissue have I realized that it spent seven weeks at No. 1. At the time I did it, I can’t remember even taking any notice of it.’
“…he was my baby brother.”

“The Jetsons” gets rewrite for live-action movie
Saturday morning’s favourite space-age family, “The Jetsons,” is once again headed to the big screen.
But unlike the 1990 animated feature film — which included then-hot pop singer Tiffany voicing Judy Jetson — the show is being developed as a live-action project, Variety reports.
Rob Minkoff (“The Lion King,” “Stuart Little”) is to direct.
The screenplay is being rewritten by Paul Foley and Dan Forman, whose credits include the upcoming Brothers Grimm spoof “The Fraud Prince” and the puppet-feature “A Chicken And A Monkey Walk Into A Bar,” Variety said.
To promote his great new movie “Vanilla Sky” Tom will be cruising into MuchMusic. Man, I hope Ed The Sock does the interview!
