Product Information
" Many well-known artists have touched people' s hearts with their music, but few have ever succeeded in touching people' s souls. That was George' s gift, and his story is described here with affection and taste. A wonderful book." - Mia Farrow In this intimate biography, Joshua M. Greene sheds new light on the most mysterious of the Beatles. Greene knew George Harrison and has remained in touch with people who were close to him, including many of his closest friends. Drawing on scores of previously unpublished transcripts of recorded conversations and first-hand accounts, Greene gives us an unprecedented close-up portrait, offering fresh insights into Harrison' s underrated contribution to the Beatles' music, his spiritual awakening through Indian music and meditation, and his efforts to spread spirituality through his solo career. Here Comes the Sun also includes fresh new anecdotes about Harrison and other musical greats, including Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley. Written with a you-are-there immediacy and complete with 20 pages of rare photographs, Here Comes the Sun is an insightful, thought-provoking look at the inner life of one of history' s most beloved artists- sure to be a hit with Beatles fans and all those interested in an extraordinary spiritual journey. Joshua M. Greene (Long Island, NY) is the author of two acclaimed biographies and the producer of numerous award-winning films. His articles have appeared in print media internationally, and his books on the Holocaust were adapted for broadcast on PBS and the Discovery channel.

* It has always seemed to me a convincing proof of the greatness of the Beatles that the bulk of ""The White Album""-that voluptuous crack-up of a record, full of smut and lunacy-was written at a meditation camp in the Himalayas. Geniuses that they were, at Rishikesh, India, the Beatles answered the pull of the transcendental with an equivalent downward thrust of their own; commanded by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to focus on bliss, nothingness, and the white light of eternity, they came up with ""Why Don''t We Do It in the Road?"" and ""Everybody''s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey."" Apart from George Harrison, that is. While John and Paul strummed and swapped their ribaldries, and Ringo went home early with tummy trouble (too much spicy food), George was rigorous, sober, down with the program. It had been his idea to go there, after all. His best Rishikesh songs are solemn and beautiful: the devotional murmur of ""Long, Long, Long"" and the elegiac ""While My Guitar Gently Weeps."" And according to Joshua Greene''s ""Here Comes the Sun: The Spiritual and Musical Journey of George Harrison,"" in his solemnity the heavy-browed young guitarist would remonstrate with his fellow Beatles: ""Too much time spent writing . . . struck George as a distraction from their purpose in coming to India, and he said as much. ''We''re not here to talk music. We''re here to meditate.'' ''Calm down, man,'' Paul said. ''Sense of humor needed here, you know.''"" Perhaps a spiritual biography is humorless by definition. The spirit doesn''t tell jokes; it strives wordlessly for perfection. One reads of course of the constant merriment of the Dalai Lama, and the Maharishi himself was apparently quite prone to the giggles, but the mirth of these sages seems to be of a very rarefied and cosmic order. Earthly laughter-the guffaw, the yip, the cackle-is different, and there isn''t too much of it in ""Here Comes the Sun,"" suffused as it is with the earnestness of the seeking soul. Greene, who met George through London''s Radha Krishna Temple in the 1970s, has efficiently separated from the mass of Beatle data the single thread of his subject''s religious endeavors, and writes of them with the unblinking identification of the fellow devotee. ""George had discovered singing God''s glories through the Krishna mantra,"" we read on Page 145. ""It made him feel good; it was easy and musical. How wonderful to think that God played a flute, that he was a musician."" What we have here, not to put too fine a point on it, is new age prose-moon-faced, quietly zealous, and limpidly free of skepticism. On the other hand, this is rather the key in which the story of guru-hungry George demands to be written. The story of Paul, flashing his two raised thumbs like a pair of small horns, necessitates a different approach. Christopher Sandford''s ""McCartney,"" with wit and some bemusement, paints the jaunty ""head Beatle"" as a comic figure on the very grandest scale: an irrepressible entertainer, a stranger to doubt, absurdly vital, rebounding from vicissitude, part of humanity''s immune system. A key moment occurs in January 1980, when the first Wings tour of Japan is derailed on arrival by the discovery at Narita Airport of what McCartney would later refer to as ""a bloody great bag of pot right on the top of my suitcase."" The Japanese customs officers are not amused, and McCartney is promptly incarcerated. Things look bleak; there is the prospect of a long sentence, even hard labor. To console himself, the prisoner performs an impromptu medley of show tunes and Beatles standards for his fellow detainees, thus granting his future biographer the following prize-winning image: ""McCartney had finished Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Goo''bye'' and was nearing the end of ''Hey Jude'' when the consul came."" This is essence of McCartney: The Fabness-a twinkling amalgam of professionalism, personal toughness, and showbiz brio-cannot be dented.

It drove the other Beatles m, A friend of George Harrison offers informed reflections on the late musician's spiritual quest. Out of the insanity, claustrophobia and estrangement that came with being a member of the Beatles, Harrison emerged an affected man, in search of God and peace. Filmmaker/biographer Greene (Justice at Dachau, 2003, etc.) portrays his friend as introspective and modest, inspired by an experience with LSD ("From that moment on, I wanted to have that depth and clarity of perception," Harrison told "Rolling Stone,") Harrison reached beyond intoxicants into the bliss of yoga and cosmic chants, a buzz that took him "into the astral plane." He wanted others to share his contact with the mystical and spoke of his spirituality during concerts, where his comments were met with, at best, indifference. Though he spent considerable time exploring the Hindu religion, writes Greene, the musician was a restless quester, always looking for ways to put his spiritual house in order. Greene writes of a newfound "levelheaded dispassion" as Harrison moved into his sixth decade, a sense of liberation from the material world coupled with an affirmation of nature and a personal recognition of his place in the scheme of things. Greene presents a man deeply engaged in the world he longed to transcend. ("Kirkus Review," November 1, 2005)
