Selv om internetsiderne er lidt uenige om, hvorvidt Beatles-medlemmet George Harrison blev født den 24. eller den 25 februar (det var vist natten imellem…), så skal det ikke forhindre bloggen her i at gøre opmærksom på, at denne fine musiker, guitarist og sangskriver ville være blevet 64 i denne uge, hvis ikke en hjernetumor var kommet i vejen.

THE ART OF DYING

There’ll come a time when all of us must leave here
Then nothing sister mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that Ive been trying
Could equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?

Therell come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when youve learned the art of dying

But youre still with me
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
Therell be no need for it

Therell come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until youve realized the art of dying
Do you believe me?
