George Harrison Said Being a Beatle Heightened His Awareness of the World

George Harrison didn’t have the easiest time being a Beatle, but at least being one of the Fab Four heightened his awareness of the world. Then, he took that awareness and used it for something good.

George didn’t have the easiest time as a Beatle. John Lennon and Paul McCartney treated him like a glorified session man and pushed him and his songs aside. He realized early on that he didn’t enjoy fame or adulation.

During a Rolling Stone interview in 1979, George said he “never” thought of being a Beatle again. “Not in this life or any other life. I mean, a lot of the time it was fantastic, but when it really got into the mania it was a question of either stop or end up dead.

“We almost got killed in a number of situations – planes catching on fire, people trying to shoot the plane down and riots everywhere we went. It was aging me.”
