Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 7, 2022 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

When I was in San Francisco with my parents in the summer of 1967, I was standing on Market Street looking at The Chronicle in a newspaper box. On the front page George was walking down Haight Street playing a guitar. "There's a Beatle around here" I thought to myself. Years later I saw Ravi Shankar at Occidental College in L.A. There was some kind of commotion in the audience. The next day in The Los Angeles Times in the review of the show it said George was there sitting with everybody else on the floor. I got a cold shiver.

One of the many things I appreciate about George was that he was probably the most spiritual of the Beatles. Post-Beatles, he dedicated himself to exploring spirituality.

Speaking (kinda) of Shoreline, when I took Roscoe Mitchell and entourage from a hotel in SF to SFO late one night, we headed down 101, which passes the old site of now razed Candlestick Park. I pointed it out and the passengers were all duly impressed.

I've never made it to Shoreline, but my wife and daughter recently heard Imagine Dragons there.

The Beatle missing for 'Free As A Bird' isn't John - it's #5, George Martin. But I think it's a great Beatles song & track, in fact.

i think george's embrace of sitar, and shankar, is pretty freaking significant...it became kind of shlocky in the hands of lots of overzealous producers trying to tart up brill building product, but the grooves from ala rakha (sic) are right there...

I was floored when I saw George Harrison on the Carl Perkins TV special because I had no idea that George even knew how to still play rockabilly guitar. His "crying" style guitar from the late 1960s is what we heard consistently from then on. It was a very big pleasant surprise to me!!!

George's (and Leon Russell's) work on Larry Hosford's Cross Words is nice, too, if also slight.

Actually think no one ever in History communicated the veracity & relevance of the Mystical to more people (talking sheer numbers) ever than George Harrison. For reals.
& that happened via Ravi Shankar.

Uncle, thanks for shining a light on George's undoubted talent. Three songwriters in one group of this quality. This is why the Beatles still astound.

Doug Schulkind:

Maybe the first real big rock concert I ever went to was part of Harrison's Dark Horse tour in 1974. (The tour was so ill-fated, many called it the Dark Hoarse tour.) The opening act was Ravi Shankar and his group. The second opening act was Billy Preston. Notably, my afro in 1974 was the equal to if not larger than Preston's.

(Another unneeded comparison?): Yo La Tengo's song "Ohm" has a similar drive and feel as "It's All Too Much", to me. Not sure why.

Revolution Rabbit: "communicated the veracity & relevance of the Mystical". Agree. Seals & Crofts used their fame to share the Baha'i Faith with their audience. George shared his love of yoga, meditation, and Hinduism.

Best Vocal Harmonies Ever in Rawk (/Pop)
...Everlys for two-part - everybody's model
...except BrianWilson, who had the Four Freshmen - many part harmony. & TheBeachBoys were the best @ that. Crystaline - transcendent by PetSounds. TheBeatles were usually two-part harmonies - but they were so good almost *because* of slightly imperfect intonations - more R&B & Celtic NorthEngland Folk communicated straight thru them. Not just Harmonies - but the best Voices generally.

@BrianUK: 'PetSounds' stands @ a real pivot. BrianWilson was singular as Arranger - in fact an Orchestrator as IrwinChusid noted. Really - what Brian did there is unrivaled. But - given the Dylan revolution in content, it may seem retrogressive. The fact that PetSounds is about this loss of innocence specifically makes it all Meta for me - certainly sonically but simultaneously for emotional affect. Ymmv.
By any objective measure - the Vocals are *astounding*.
