Publisher Description
"A fascinating read."
–Associated Press
Joshua Greene, who studied meditation with the legendary Beatle George Harrison, draws on personal remembrances, recorded conversations, and firsthand accounts to create a moving portrait of Harrison's spiritual life, his profound contribution to the Beatles' music, and previously unpublished anecdotes about his time with music legends Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and others.
"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
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
To commemorate (or cash in on?) the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death, publishers are flooding the market with books on the icon and his bandmates. The best of the bunch is The Beatles, by Bob Spitz. In a starred review , PW said, "With this massive opus... Spitz tells the definitive story of the band that sparked a cultural revolution.... While some will blanch at the unsettling dark sides of the Beatles, most will come to appreciate the band even more for knowing the incredible personal odysseys they endured." PW also reviewed With the Beatles by Lewis Lapham and Lennon Revealed by Larry Kane . Herewith, a few more tomes fueling Beatlemania.Here Comes the Sun: The Spiritual and Musical Journey of George HarrisonJoshua Greene. Wiley, (272p) XAuthor and film producer Greene focuses on the metaphysical in his examination of George Harrison, choosing to document the Beatle's relationship with Hindu philosophy and Krishna devotees over his more complex though admittedly well-covered relationship with his bandmates. The resulting portrait is at times flat, as Harrison gets along with just about everyone on his spiritual path, and Greene is reluctant to cast his subject in a negative light. That's a shame, as the highlights of the book feature a conflicted and embattled Harrison dealing with disappointment, frustration and loss, of which there is plenty in the Beatles' shared history.
