That will be most interesting to participate in. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif Speaking of e-mails... we received one from an NBC representative of Late Night with Conan O'Brien asking if we had or knew where to get a copy of the 1968 Lennon-McCartney interview on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show (with guest host Joe Garagiola).

NBC destroyed the original tape so if anyone out there knows where to find a copy we'd appreciate it if you could pass the info on.

Here's what I've found out about George's chat:

George Harrison hits the Web this week with the launch of his first official Web site, AllThingsMustPass.com (http://www.allthingsmustpass.com), and the announcement that he will also engage in two 30-minute online chats on Thursday. The first one will begin at 8 p.m. ET on Yahoo! Chat, located at Chat.Yahoo.com, and the second at 9 p.m. ET on MSN Live, located at MSN.com.

I was just there, all I can say is WOW. It was something I will never forget. Also inside news from the man himself, look for a new album at the end of this year or early next year!

Yeah it sure was him alright, he was talking about the opening chord to A Hard Day's Night and the gnomes in his yard. Awesome to say the least. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

Is there any transcript of that somewhere?

I picked up a small transcript from MSN, which is as follows;

DishDiva : Welcome to MSN Live! Today we are pleased to welcome George Harrison to MSN.
DishDiva : Please join me in welcoming Mr. George Harrison to MSN Live!
DishDiva : Today we will be talking with George Harrison about the re-release of "All Things Must Pass."
DishDiva : George, welcome to MSN Live!
George_Harrison_Live : Hello, good evening!
George_Harrison_Live : How's your father! How's your uncle?
DishDiva : George, the Internet was not a part of your promotion last time around for "All Things Must Pass." What part does the Internet play in promotion for "ALL Things Must Pass" now?
George_Harrison_Live : I suppose the fact that it is just like this and everyone is listening.It eliminates the time of someone printing up a Newspaper.
DishDiva : SR says: Is it true that you were really asked to join the beatles because you knew all the chords to "Twenty Flight Rock"?
George_Harrison_Live : No! Paul knew "Twenty Flight Rock" but I did too.
DishDiva : Spockmiester55 Asks: What is the difference between the old and new release if any?
George_Harrison_Live : The new release is remastered and is much much better to the record that existed up until now and it has five bonus tracks on it. It also has new packaging.
DishDiva : Sherwood Asks: Will your other past releases receive the deluxe treatment as "Pass" did?
George_Harrison_Live : It depends really. They will all be remastered. Whether the artwork will change, I don't know. It depends what we feel at the time and what the record company feels at the time.
DishDiva : alina says: Do you remember how you felt making "All Things Must Pass"?
DishDiva : jerryfender Asks: Don't you miss the old packaging with albums vs CD's? All Things Must Pass was great because even the box was huge!
George_Harrison_Live : Twelve inch square artwork gets you more scope and greater impact.Those days the album cover used to be part of the overall package. It seems to become less important because it is smaller and not so many people are interested in the artwork.
DishDiva : doodah says: Where were you spiritually then when you wrote the lyrics for "My Sweet Lord", and where are you now spritually, have you grown?
George_Harrison_Live : Somebody said a very famous Indian saint said "if there is a God, we must see him. And if there is a soul we must perceive it." In the West they still argue if God really exists. Basically, I am in the same place. The song really came from Swami Vivekananda.
DishDiva : iluvgeorge says: Will you be touring?
George_Harrison_Live : At the moment, no.
DishDiva : lidbaby says: Any musicians you like right now?
George_Harrison_Live : Hoagy Carmichael. There are many, many, many musicians.
DishDiva : babe says: Is most of what's been written about you pure rubbish? Is there any one book that's more accurate than any other?
George_Harrison_Live : The one that is the most accurate is "The Beatles" by the Beatles. When a book is written by someone who doesn't like you, it may not be very good.
DishDiva : WildingTangent Asks: Are you still writing and recording songs? How would your style of music these days?
George_Harrison_Live : I am still doing that, yes. Hopefully, there will be one coming out at the end of the year.
DishDiva : tedsblues Asks: Re: recording...analog or digital?
George_Harrison_Live : I have always recorded analog except when I was in a live concert. Generally, I record on analog but I hear that digital these days are getting better. The bandwidth is getting better.
DishDiva : arainyfriday Asks: Looking back, how do you view your book "I, Me, Mine"? If it were to be re-released, would you make changes based on perspective you have gained over the years?
George_Harrison_Live : It was ok for the time. I thought it was well made. It was an excuse to have a nice leather book like the Bible.
DishDiva : liam0241 Asks: What was the inspiration for the song 'Run of the Mill'
George_Harrison_Live : There was an expression that came from Yorkshire where they made fabric. Run of the mill just means average. I was using that phrase more or less, because, the Beatles were just splitting up. I don't know if they had that expression in America.
DishDiva : sasha says: Hi Mr. Harrison. My dad and I like your site. Did you do it?
George_Harrison_Live : I am not a technician. But I sat with people from Radical Media. They came to my house and set up the computers. The technicians did it and I kept thinking of ideas.I didn't have a concept of what a website was and I still don't understand the concept. I wanted to see little people poking each other with sticks much like Monty Python.
DishDiva : You can check out George Harrison's website at http://www.allthingsmustpass.com
DishDiva : rico Asks: What do you wish you could do, that you have'nt done already?
George_Harrison_Live : Dematerialize my body.
DishDiva : OKRichH says: I consider this a great priviledge to chat with you. Was the recording of "All Things Must Pass" a fulfilling outlet for you?
George_Harrison_Live : Yeah, at the time it was very fulfilling- a chance to do a record of my own material.
DishDiva : Brit says: What's the most popular misconception about you that people have?
George_Harrison_Live : That I am serious. Pisces are depicted as two fish going in opposite directions. Many people do not see the humorous side. It is just as big!
DishDiva : Beat says: Are you interested in all in the different sounds that electronics can add to guitar sounds, or are you more of a 'back to basics' advocate?
George_Harrison_Live : More of back to basics. I really like the sounds they had in the 50's. Now you just buy something and plug it in. You can sound like Jimi Hendrix or whoever and everyone sounds the same.
DishDiva : jediprincess00 Asks: what would you like to say to the younger generation that looks up to you?
George_Harrison_Live : Try to realize what the purpose of being in a body is. There is only one purpose really and that is what you have to try to not forget. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

DishDiva : George, it has been a pleasur having you as our guest tonight!
George_Harrison_Live : Lots of love and kevlar to everyone!
George_Harrison_Live : It has been nice talking to you. Please enjoy the website!
Ask_Questions_Live : The preceding is ( c ) 2001 MSN Live Thanks to our guest, hosts and to everyone that came to today's chat! Please remember that due to the number of questions received, it was not possible for our guest to answer each one individually. Thanks for coming to MSNLive!
DishDiva : Again, you can check out George Harrison's website at http://www.allthingsmustpass.com
DishDiva : You can also pick up the re-release, including, "My Sweet Lord" online at http://eshop.msn.com
DishDiva : The transcript of tonight's very special event will be available later at http://chat.msn.com/msnlive
