George Harrison (and, in photo 2, Mal Evans) in fan photos from 1969.“What annoys us is that people treat us [The Beatles] sometimes as if we are just things and not human beings.” - George Harrison, Rave, June 1964“George Harrison is the reluctant Beatle. He did not expect fame. When it came, he was bewildered.” - Melody Maker, 7 November 1964George Harrison: “[The fans have] all got this idea that we’re something else.” Leslie S. (fan): “Good or bad?” GH: “I don’t know… whatever it is, they don’t see us as what we are, which is people.” - conversation with a fan taped at Kinfauns, 1967Q: “How did taking LSD affect you?” George Harrison: “It was like opening the door, really, and before, you didn’t even know there was a door there. It just opened up this whole other consciousness […].” Q: “Did it make you feel that your life could be very different from what it was?” GH: “Yeah, but that presented a problem as well, because then the feeling began in me of, well, it’s all well and good being popular and being in demand but, you know, it’s ridiculous, really. I think from then on I didn’t enjoy fame. That’s when the novelty disappeared, around 1966, and then it became hard work. […] I mean, [LSD] has a humbling power, that stuff. And the ego — to be able to deal with these people thinking you were some wonderful thing — it was difficult to come to terms with. I was feeling, you know, like nothing.” - Rolling Stone, 5 November 1987 (x) -- source link
