George Harrison Called This Popular Product 'Such a Load of Rubbish'

Over 70 million people tuned in to The Ed Sullivan Show on Feb. 9, 1964, to watch the Beatles’ first live U.S. television performance. The Fab Four captured America’s hearts and forever secured a place in pop culture history. Despite TV’s role in the group’s immense success, lead guitarist George Harrison claimed he was not a fan of American television. Many of us can probably relate to his reason.

In a 1971 interview on The Dick Cavett Show, Harrison said he didn’t watch television in America because “it’s such a load of rubbish.”

The world-famous rocker explained, “It just drives you crazy — the commercials. You just get into something and then, ‘Sorry, now, another word from and another word from.'”

The “Here Comes the Sun” songwriter said, “In the end, you know, they just put commercials on all the time.”
Asked whether British TV had advertisements, Harrison responded, “Yeah, but it’s really done good.”
