In a year already fraught with musical tragedy - the world has lost something beautiful and pure.
His songs were a landscape for our lives, I'm hard pressed to come up with someone else at the moment who I've seen sing so passionately. In all the years I believe he remained uncompromised by the press or the spoils of fame. I remember watching the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where Prince and a number of others played "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", and at the time thinking his performance was a bit showboating. His performance begins about 3:30 into the song, it's almost like they were trying not to show him until that point ...
Now as I watch it and I see that he's not just playing the song, he's eulogizing George. And I hope someone eulogizes him so well. He was a musical titan, we were lucky to know him even though it feels too brief.

A beautiful tribute my sweet!
ReplyDeleteDearly beloved
DeleteWe are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life ..
I was actually going to request that you make a tribute balloon and you did such a great one to honor him. I love your verbal tribute as well. When Doves Cry has been in my head for the last two days. Such a loss of a talented human being that gave so much in the short time he was here.
