George Harrison would have been 69 today. I had the chance to talk with his sister, Louise, a few years back and I asked her what she was most proud of about her legendary brother. She said it was his spirituality and the way he faced death. Louise noted that George believed no one really dies, she said he viewed it more like; “you’re just out there somewhere in the universe.”

In honor of the iconic Beatles guitarist’s birthday, we’re featuring his performance of  “Bangladesh” during the concert for Bangladesh in 1971 at Madison Square Garden. For a great read on George, plus photos of his home in England, check out Govinda Gallery’s The Black Room Blog.

Pat Ferrise grew up loving ”the punk rock” and “new wave.” His years at one of the nation’s top college radio stations ultimately led him to a 15-year run as music director of alternative music icon WHFS Washington/Baltimore. Rolling Stone magazine named him of the most influential programmers of the 90s. He’s recorded two albums under the moniker Trampoline for the now defunct SpinArt label. He lives in Baltimore and takes no credit for writing this bio.
