Throwback Thursday


For the 1%ers on the blog that have HBO, the George Harrison documentary Living in a Material World (produced? by Scorsese) was released on October 5-6 and is currently available on demand. I know the time honored debate is John v. Paul as to who the better Beatle is but after seeing this you can make a strong argument that George is the best overall artist. The best part is that it focuses on much more than just his time with the Beatles. It details the formation of the Traveling Wilburys and the schister that is Eric Clapton. I can't recommend this enough and at the very least you will be introduced to some songs you may not be familiar with. One such song for me was Ballad of Sir Frankie Crist (Let It Roll). The song is about his incredible and eccentric estate, Friar Park, but it strikes a much deeper chord. I'll surely spend many lonely Missouri winter nights gazing out the window, dreaming of puffy chicks and a cab accessible city.
