George Harrison Said Popular Music Made Him Feel 'Uptight'

Once George Harrison heard Indian music, popular music, and even some rock ‘n’ roll didn’t impress him. He said Eastern music was the best form of music people have. When he added it to his compositions, though, fans didn’t receive it well. So, George stopped incorporating Eastern influences in his music only in terms of sound. His songs remained spiritual.

However, that didn’t stop George from hoping Indian music would one day capture a bigger audience. Nothing else would’ve pleased him more. Ragas, mantras, chants, and everything else Hindu people used to communicate with God soothed George’s soul. Meanwhile, popular music made him feel “uptight.”
