Krátky popis
From the author of the million-copy selling Shout!: The Beatles in
Their Generation and the bestselling John Lennon: The Life comes a
revealing portrait of George Harrison, the most undervalued and
mysterious Beatle. Despite being hailed as one of the best
guitarists of his era, George Harrison, particularly in his early
decades, battled feelings of inferiority. He was often the butt of
jokes from his bandmates owing to his lower-class background and,
typically, was allowed to contribute only one or two songs per
Beatles album out of the dozens he wrote.Now, acclaimed Beatles
biographer Philip Norman examines Harrison through the lens of his
numerous self-contradictions. Compared to songwriting luminaries
John Lennon and Paul McCartney he was considered a minor talent,
yet he composed such masterpieces as 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'
and 'Here Comes the Sun', and his solo debut album 'All Things Must
Pass' achieved enormous success, appearing on many lists of the 100
best rock albums ever. Modern music critics place him in the
pantheon of Sixties guitar gods alongside Eric Clapton, Jimi
Hendrix, Keith Richards and Jimmy Page.Harrison railed against the
material world yet wrote the first pop song complaining about
income tax. He spent years lovingly restoring his Friar Park estate
as a spiritual journey, but quickly mortgaged the property to help
rescue a film project that would be widely banned as sacrilegious,
Monty Python's Life of Brian. Harrison could be fiercely jealous,
but not only did he stay friends with Eric Clapton when Clapton
fell in love with Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd, the two men grew
even closer after Clapton walked away with her.Unprecedented in
scope and filled with numerous colour photos, this rich biography
captures George Harrison at his most multi-faceted: devoted friend,
loyal son, master guitar-player, brilliant songwriter, cocaine
addict, serial philanderer, global philanthropist, student of
Indian mysticism, self-deprecating comedian and, ultimately, iconic
artist and man beloved by millions.
