Last night I saw the Martin Scorsese film ''George Harrison:Living In The Material World''. It's a really fascinating film, and shows what a spiritual and talented man George Harrison was. It shows how he was always writing good songs, but they were often shelved in favour of Lennon/ McCartney ones. He was sometimes called the underrated Beatle, but he wrote some wonderful songs like:

My Sweet Lord

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Something ( one of the most beautiful love songs, in my opinion )

Also, Here Comes The Sun

The film is going to be shown on BBC2 eventually, but it's well-worth seeing on the big screen if you get the chance.

    The film is three and a half hours long, shown in two parts. There was an interval between the parts, so I was in the cinema for about four hours altogether. I thought it was a brilliant film though.

    One of my faves
    My Sweet Lord

    But I prefer the version with the chorus of

    Hare Krishna rather than Hallelulia.

    I agree, Kath, but couldn't find that version on Youtube.

    I love this song ( Give me love, Give me peace on earth )
