The hilarious letter George Harrison sent to a fan who asked him for money

Wednesday, May 6, 2020

George Harrison is undoubtedly the coolest Beatle but he was also one of the most dryly funny. Growing up in Liverpool had blessed all the members with a caustic course wit but Harrison only reserved it for the most enjoyable moments.

One such moment came from the below letter from 1968 when Harrison and The Beatles were at the peak of their powers and on top of the world. Literally. After a fan writes to Harrison asking for money to buy a sitar, Harrison responds with a drawing and a smirking retort.

The Beatles had just released the White Album and were in unprecedented demand. Such high demand in fact that the group retreated to the Himalayas, namely Rishikesh in northern India as part of a Transcendental Meditation course with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It was during these blissful moments that Harrison received a letter from a fan.
