Just a short note about a download at WinMX
It is called
"George Harrison - All About Brainwashed"
I have only seen it in three parts, three different files, part 1, 2 and 3, and it is an exclusive radio program about the album, by Jools Holland.
I got part 1 in full now and it is amazing. Over 24 minutes.
It has Olivia, Dhani, Jeff, Keltner, talking about mainly the songs on the album.
It gives a good insight on the origin of some of the songs.
Like "Any Road", which found his basics according to Dhani, whilst George was waiting for the This Is Love video shooting, sitting by a little bridge, up a banjan(sp) tree, with a uke, and seeing a road sign on the oposite tree saying "if you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there". It's pre-Wilbury as Dhani calls it.
On the other side of that road sign was an other interesting sign: "You can't adjust the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sail". Must go to Hawaii, interesting trees they have.
"In every aspect of the album I see little bits of my childhood, and little things I said to my dad" Dhani says, like "Oh It's a game, sometimes you're cool ..and then it would be like 'hey Dhan, what's the word that is..that' .. and I'd be 'sometimes you suck' and he'd go 'no no okay what is the word when something's naf' 'lame?' and he used that.
Dhani says about the lyrics of the songs "it's all about everyone's Self Realization .... listen to them cause they'll only be good for you"
"Run So Far" these three words (it's always three words huh), come from John Cleese who was doing a TV travelogue going to different cities and talking and at the end getting a little crazy and saying 'but you can only run so far'
"Stuck Inside A Cloud" according to Jim Keltner is from the end 80's. He heard it so many times at Friar Park and he describes that the first time that he came in the studio for Brainwashed, he heard the version Jeff and Dhani had produced of it and he says "I almost collapsed, it was so much like George had done it".
I hope to be able to tell more.
